IN ANSWER TO A
REGENT FALSE RUMOR.
From .more than one source the report
h « drifted in to us at bout hwestern
that certain parties were expressing
doubt concerning the opening of the
University for work next Fall. The
reason said to be given was the large in-
debtedness of the institution.
Of course it is an outrage on the Uni-
versity that we are even called upon
to answer any such ridiculous charge.
It only have been started in malice
and falsehood, and it could only have
been believed by those who were grossly
ignorant of conditions.
There has never been one tingle mo-
ment when the responsible officials of
Southwestern University have contem-
plated closing the institution, nor has
there ever at any time been any reason
to suppose that financial conditions
would necessitate its closing or suspen-
sion. Nobody on earth has ever had an
thority, direct or indirect, for making
the statement referred to, or hinting that
there was reason to believe it.
We have never been otherwise than
ftaak about our situation at Southwest-
era. Year by year its financial condi-
tion is reported in detail and in full to
the Conference of Texas. There
is nothing to conceal from the Church or
the public in general. We can afford to
TT..W. « frank statement now. The Uni-
versity has a bonded indebtedness_ of,
160,000.00, and other obligations upon
certain pieces of property amounting to,
possibly $7,000.00. in the regular busi-
ness of the University it happens every
jear th«t there are times when for
months we have a large balance to our
credit in tl* bank, and other times when
we are under necessity of borrowing for
s short time. This is usually due to
the fact that our heaviest expense in
n..ving improvements and repairs comes
when we have no

f from any source. It ia not unfair
to si1""* to say that the indebtedness of
Southwestern University in much smaller
ia proportion to its assets than that of
any other Methodist educational ineti-
tutioT in Texas, and much smaller in
BTfi..i figures than that of any other
of its own class. The slanderous i*p«t
liiinilinin il above is without any founda-
tion whatever, and there never bps been,
during the present administration, my
justification for the opinion, on the part
of anybody, that the University could not
or would not be perpetually maintained
ss a college of the highest grade. That
it should be so maintained has been the
order of the Conferences, repeat-
ed over and over again. Such was the
pgnoaouneement of the
which had original charge of the estab-
lishment of the new University at Dal-
laa. Such ia the intention of the Board
of Trustees and the officials ol the in-
stitution. The assets of the Uai «aaity
