They have, however, as a class, certain peculiar disabilities as well as advantages. They are, if possible, more in need of the assistance of your fund than others, and the public may well profit more by your influence on them than on others. They are not yet so firmly fixed by tradition. They peculiarly need the influence you may exert, and apparently will be peculiarly susceptible to it. The state legislatures, in default of influ- ence from without such as you may well exert, find themselves... stopped from giving support to really advanced work. It cannot but be regarded in the light of a great calamity if your board shall feel itself compelled to refrain from entering into relations with so large and important a fraction of the highest educational institutions in so large a section of our country, a fraction, too, whose importance must of necessity increase with great rapidity, as the statistics of growth in recent years testify.
