Several cities in the Territory
are angling with the Methodist
Church for the location of the pro
posed liberal arts college. Seward
has offered its advantages along
with the rest, and it is hoped that
the visitors will make a thorough
inspection of this location and its
people for the purpose of com
parison.
Among the requirements stipu
lated by the church are cultural
advantages. We wonder if the fact
that there are practically no cul
tural projects of any size in Alaska
does not present an opportunity for
the college to create that very
atmosphere which is so sadly
lacking. The students would have
the invaluable experience of self
expression by creating something
where nothing now exists.
Easy access by all means of
transportation can be claimed by
Seward just as honestly as by
other cities and there is one def
inite advantage we can offer that
no other city has—that is good
water. No matter how we com
plain about the system among
ourselves, we all insist that it is
still the best drinking water in
Alaska.
One other condition which could
be brought to the attention of the
college people is to our mind the
greatest asset.
Seward is singularly free from
vice and crime. No city can lay
claim to an absolutely clean record
but a glance at the front page of
any newspaper should be sufficient
proof of the moral environment
adjacent to the proposed college
site. The U. S. Army makes an
effort to protect the morals of the
young men in the new army and
it seems quite likely that an edu
cational institution would take
equal consideration. Possibly such
a morally good situation would
outweigh the lack of existing
“culture” — which in itself is an
ambiguous word and an unknown
quantity in Alaska.
Sewardites are eager and com
petent to participate in any cul
tural program. The incentive is not
lacking, only the leadership —
which could be provided by the
presence of trained educators in
this small but growing community.
We welcome the ofjicers and
visitors of the Methodist Church
to Seward and ask that they con
sider well what we have to offer
before any decision is made con
cerning the location of this great
est cultural contribution to Alaska
since the founding of the Univer
sity at Fairbanks.
