Each year Bethany seemed to come closer to his heart and each year it seemed that new difficulties beset the Old institution. In the closing years of the last century it seemed that Bethany was doomed. She was unable to pay her professors, her debts continued to increase and her friends lost heart and many of them gave up. Not so Mr. Cochran. Each new difficulty seemed to make him more determined that Bethany should live. He stubbornly refused to allow them to close her doors. She was going to live, and he, Mark Mordecai Cochran was going to see to it that she did live. Finally he Obtained the right man to manage the affairs of the college. The first years of this century seemed to be little more than a continuation Of the Old struggle. To those who knew, however, it was evident that improvement was coming. The student body was growing, her endowment was increasing and at the end of the first decade Of nineteen hundred Bethany was in good condition. She was tided over the period of danger and to the unquenchable courage of M. M. Cochran belongs the credit. Mr. Cochran was not satisfied with this, however, He had faith in Bethany's ideals and tenets. Bethany should grow and spread them. He continued to add to the endowment; he built new equipment and improved living conditions; he did everything in his power to bring Bethany to the fore. The Old college thrived and prospered and now she stands where few of like institutions can rival her. We, who are permitted to live in the light of her learning today, can little realize, perhaps the great travail through which She has passed, but nevertheless we experience a feeling of sincere gratefulness toward this man who has made it possible that she should live.'
