Tulane University.
N. O. Times Democrat.

L
The State Senate has almost unani-
mously passed the Tulane University
bill. which will found here one OF the
greatest institutions of learning in the
country. This is as4t should be, and
we look for equally favorable action
from the House. 1t has been demon
strated that the establishment of this
college will actually benefit the State
peeuniarily, by relieving it from the
appropriations it has now to make for
the support of the State University.
The philanthropist whose honored name
the new college will bear has already
donated or promised to give fund
that will make it one of the best en-
dowed universities in the country.
New Orleans has long felt the neces-
sity for college of this kind. The
present system of sending boys North
to be educated is expensive, and faulty
in many respects and the fact that we
have no college ranking as high as
Columbia, Harvard OF Yale has been in
furious to us 10 literary and ednca-
tional point of view.
The beneficial effect of colleges in
large cities is well demonstrated at
Boston. II is not alone that they edu-
cate the youth of city, but they
create literary society, and form a
nucleus, around which the learned
classes can gather. New England's
literary supremacy, her historians, nov
elists and poets, her Banfcrofts, Haw-
thornes and Longtellows are the result,
not of any superiority of race, or OF
New England's civilization, but of hel
colleges, that have made learning gen-
eral and appreciated. We look to see
the Tulane University accomplish the
same result here for the South
There is talentenough it only needs
encouragement, rallying point, sucl
as the faculty Of this university will be
