American society have a great reverence for institutions that begin to be aged. This practice is to be noticed especially in the case of religious and educational organizations. Not only reverence for them, as belonging to the golden age of the past, but methods of organization and administration tend to perpetuate them after they have served their purpose. They do not depend upon the interest, ability, and lifetime of one man, or even of a family. They are made immortal by forming a self-perpetuating corporate body which is in form and in law the church or the school.
