AN ISsTrTCTIoS-wHAT METHODIST cLERGYMES
HERE SAY OF THE PROPOSED ESTERPRIsE-No
DEFINITE PLAN YET ANNOUNCER.
A STAR reporter called on Bishop Hurst last
evening at his residence on Iowa circle. In
reply to the reporters inquiries as to whether
he wished to say anything further with refer
ence to the proposed Methodist university to
be founded in this city the bishop said: II do
not know that there is anything more to say on
the subject than has already been said in THE
STAR. The fact that we are discussing the pro-
ject of great university here has already been
made public. Further than that we have not
gone and as yet there is nothing definite that
has been done other than the selection of a
possible site. think that Washington is an
ideal strategic point for the location of uni
versity in our church. There is room for such an
seats Of learning established already here, it is
true, but they have their work to do and we
VIII have ours and can see no reason why
they should conflict at all The whole matter
as 1t now stands has been pretty thoroughly
discussed, and cannot think of ANYTHING new
to say about it. One thing can saw, however.
Is that we are greatly gratifed by the enthus-
asm and interest that has been aroused, both
here and elsewhere. The proposition appears
to have met with the hearty approval of every
oho anu ILLS TACT IL OF ltSe1 OF the greatest as
sistance and encouragement to US all. Still,
good wishes alone will not endow university.
and the financial question is already one of
vital importance. l feel quite sure, however
OF encouragement in this line as well, and 1
have no doubt that substantial aid will be
forthcoming in good time. As it is now have
every reason to think that before long the
scheme may be put in successful operation In
month from now our plans will probably be
so far advanced that something definite and of
real interest can be said ON the subject"
REV. MR.. RICHARDSON'S VIEWS.
Rev. E. Richardson of the Anacostia NJ. E.
church said to STAR reporter: II am heartily
in favor of the undertaking and have no doubt
OF its ultimate success. 1t will be a Protestant
rather than Methodist institution. The first
thousand dollars was contributed by a Baptist
and all orthodox churches will second the effort
begun through Bishop Hurst. Our nearest
Methodist schools that can be dignified with
the title Of university are the Boston univer-
sity, at Boston; the Wesleyan university, at
Syracuse, and the Northwestern university, at
Evanston, Ill. There is great need for uni
verslty In Washington that shall be u national
pride. The proper way to combat Catholicity
Is In the open field of thought, and such a uni
verslty as is proposed would prove an meal
cuIaDle blessing to our country"
