THE PLAN FOR COOPER UNION.
MR. HEWITT SAYS HIS PROPOSITION TO OC-
CUPY COLUMBIA'S OLD SITE Is MERE
IY 4 SUGGESTION

The report OF the trustees OF Cooper Union. re-
Gently submitted by the secretary ex-Mayor Ahram
s. Hewitt seems 10 show that the present field Of
usefulness occupied by that institution is capable
OF much extension. well as how great is the
public service being rendered by the benefac-
ton of the famous philanthropist. To the end
that the field of action OF Cooper Union be ex-
tended Mr. Hewitt suggests that the site now oc-
cupied by Columbia University be purchased for
the Union when the college takes up It's new
home Morningside Heights. As yet, the sug-
gestion Is a vague ntimaton OF a possibility. and
in Mr.. Hewitts mind II has gone no further.
Referring TO the subject Mr.. Hewitt said to a
Tribune reporter yesterday: Cooper Union every
day turns away applicants for admission to It's vari-
departments. 1t is Obliged to turn away three
for every it accommodates. simply because II
has not the room with which to accommodate them.
Ii occurred 70 me that II we could get hold of the
Columbia site when IT is vacated 1t would suit our
purpose very well indeed. Everything about It that
makes It undesirable for the purposes OF a college
makes 1t desirable for u.s. Its central location. In
the midst Of various railroad lines. in the heart OF
the city. accessible alike the West Side and to
the East Side where live many OF the artisans
and working people desire TO reach-all these
things make the site admirably adapted TO our
needs. 1t is n great chance for the people who are
able 10 do il to come forward AMI help us thus 10
enlarge work TO meet the demands that are
daily being made upon US I,he eNpen:es Of Cooper
Sc 900. and it would be very bad business policy TO
allow this TO happen again.
THE endowment OF Cooper tnion first and last.
has been about 81 00 and excepting about 10000.
every penny OF II has come from Mr.. Coopcr's fam
fly. or course the running expenses have amounted
to very much more.
II have not spoken TO any Of the Columbia College
authorities with regard to acquiring their site be-
tween Forty-nnth and Fftieth SITS. nor 10 anybody
else But II seeing TO me admirable idea II the
people OF the city VIII furnish the money for II.
understand that President Low values the property
at about $l.GO(C0 which seems TO me fair price.
But this Is only suggestion. 1t has taken no
definite form whatever"
William c. Schermerhorn, chairman Of the board
of trustees OF Columbia and the gver OF Schermcr-
horn Hall. building on the new site at Morning
side Heights. declined to DISCUSS the subject send
Ing word the reporter that IL all TO
