a GREAT UNIVERSITY.
The Probable Effect of Such Institu-
ton on Our National Lite.

The Probable Effect of Such an Institu-
ton Our National Lite.
Andrew ID. White, formerly presi-
dent of Cornell University and after
ward Minister to Germany, is vigor-
ously insisting on the establishment at
Washington of great university.
After explaining the unusual facilities
for university work given by the Gov
ernments libraries and laboratories
and museums, he says in the course of
an article in the Forum: Il fully be-
lieve that within few years such {;
university would be one of the most
useful aud aourishing in the world, and
that it might fairly expect finally to
equal in the numbers and character OF
its students, as well as in the attain
ments and regulations of its faculty,
the University of Berlin-the highest
point which any university organlza-
ton has yet reached. The City of
Washington is rapidly becoming a
great metropolis; it is developing the
atmosphere which is to give character
/ 10 the executive, the judicial and
especially the legislative business
of the Nation. What shall that
atmosphere be? Shall it be made by
luxurious miilionaires, anxious only
/ for new fields in which TO display their
wealth? Shall it be an atmosphere of
riotous living. without one thought of
better things? Shall it be redolent
merely of political scheming and stock
iobbing by day. and OF canvas-backs
1 and terrapin by night? In such
future, legislative cynieism and cor
ruption, and eventually, perhaps.
executive and judicial cynicism and
corruption, will be OF course; for they
will present the only means by which
men can adjust their lungs to the nor-
NAL atm osphere. Shall it not rather
be capital where, with the higher
satisfaction and graces of civilized hv-
I ing. there shall be an atmosphere OF
thought upon the highest subjects. OF
work in the most worthy fields, OF de-
votion to the noblest aims9 Such an
atmosphere a great university with the
men and work involved in it would
tend to develop, and in it demagogisu
would wither aud corruption lose the
main element of its support We may
well suppose that some considerations
of this kind passed through the mine
, of him whose great name our capita
bears. and that these were among Inc
thoughts which prompted him to urge
, AGAIN and again, the founding there o
, a university worthy of the nation"
