Senator Stanford's Munificence.
New YORK, November 19th.-The Brook
Ign Eagle says of Stanford's munifcent
endowment: California is not so popu-
| lous as to need two Universities, especially
as the one already in existence at Berkeley
has ample provisions for the teaching of all
branches OF literature, science and art The
new institution, however, will probably
attract students from the Eastern States
and from all other countries. The income
OF S2O,OOO,OO0 will be certainly enough to
accommodate all the students who may
desire to pursue their education in the
genial and bracing climate of California.
No such enormous amount has ever been
donated in this country for educational
purposes, nor did any of the old Univer-
sites OF Europe begin with any such cap
ltal. A large share of the education will
be devoted to the practical industries of
the State, including thorough facilities for
the pursuit of mineralogy, metallurgy and
other branches that have been so largely
developed on the Pacific coast The wealth
OF one OF the most productive of States
may thus be increased, and the whole
country will be thereby benefited. With
SO immense an endowment, the new
University cannot fail to attract large num-
bers OF students, and to develop the mate
rial and intellectual activities of Cali
fornia."
The writer then proceeds to criticise
Stantord's endowment, thinking, probably,
that he might have made a better use of his
money. The article closes "The vested
estates of Harvard and Yale put together
do not amount to fifth of Stanford's gift,
yet here is private munificent bestowing
$20,000,000 where it is not needed. in a
State which sends her best sons to Harvard
or \ ale for academical education. Travel
nowadays Is so easy and so swift that a few
days could bring all those who will avail
themselves of the new University to any
of the older Universities, and with such an
endowment the latter would draw a large
number of students from all parts of the
world
