Union College Free from Debt

By Editor

WE are made glad at the news that another of our institutions is out of debt. Exercises in commemoration of this freedom from debt were held in College View, Nebr., May 3, just twenty-six years after the laying of the foundation stone. The Central Union Outlook of May 9 gives a full account of this event. Short speeches were made at the chapel exercise, by friends, alumni, and present students. All paid their tribute to the college and the work which it had done, and rejoiced in its freedom from debt.

Following this the visitors, board of trustees, faculty, and students marched around the campus and sang a song composed for the occasion, beginning with the words, “Old Union standeth free.”

In the evening another program was given, at which addresses were made by Elders R. A. Underwood, A. R. Ogden, J. W. Christian, Prof. H. A. Morrison, Rev. Frank Mills, and S. A. Sanderson.

Rev. Frank Mills represented the commercial club and business men of College View, and S. A. Sanderson the business men of Lincoln.

We know that our readers unite with us in the hope that soon all our other institutions may join Union College in a song of jubilee of freedom from debt.
