THE New UNIVERSITY. Stan-
ford is said TO be consulting with General
Francis A. Walker upon the organization
of the new University. There could be no
better selection. General Walker is not
only a man who knows what a University
should be, but he is a man of hard common
sense, who knows what can be done and
how to do it. He is an energetic worker
as well, and if ne is intrusted with the
plans we may be sure that something will
be done before long. The public has not
heard much from Palo Alto lately, bat
there is no reason for impatieDce. The
Lick Observatory is not finished yet, after
good many years of work, and the OBJ
servatory is small matter compared to the
Stanford University. There is no need for
haste, but there is need that every detail
shall be thoroughly matured.-S. 4. Post.
