The Cost Of Universities.

In those good old times of thirty
years ago. two or three hundred tnou-
sand dollars was thought a great en-
dowUent for a university. and twenty
thousand dollars a sufficient endow-
ment for professorship. To found an
institution and call it university. in
these DAYS. with an income OF less than
a quarter of a million OF dollars a year.
is a broad farce. Even with that sum
many of the most important spheres Of
university activity must be neglected.
Twice the amount is not more than
adequate. and Harvard University.
which has an income OF more than twice
that amount. is at this moment showing
cogeht reasons for demanding more.
And the tendency is ever toward a
greater expenditure. This IS neither
to be scolded az nor whined over. just
as the material demands OF this won
derful time have created vast hotels.
steamships and railway systems. SO the
moral aud intellectual demands are
creating great universities a leading
professor has become a parsonage;
various institutions compete Tor him.
