A NATIONAL UNIVERSITY.
AMERICAN WOMEN TAKING
UP THE PROJECT.
Determined to Push It to a Success.
full Conclusion-Plan of Mrs.
Ellen A. Richardson.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1G.-The oft
agitated question of establishing in the
city of Washington a great national
university on the lines suggested by
President Washington has taken more
definite form than in the past and rep
resentative American women have
taken hold of the project with deter
mination to push it to a successful con-
clusion is possible.
They have started out in a practical
manner by seeking to raise the first
$3.50. 900 necessary for the erection of
an administration building to form the
nucleus Of the university and hope to
lay the cornerstone on February 22
1899
Their purpose in the interim is to urge
the matter continuously on the atten-
ton of the women all over the coun-
try. They intend likewise to interest
all the school children in the work. AS
a first step for awakening interest in
the undertaking they will assemble in
convention in Washington on Decem-
Der 18th. to decide on ways and means
fo1 arousing public sentiment.
Among those who have initiated the
movement to fulfill Washingtons wish
are Mrs Phoebe Hearst of California
Mrs. Ellen a. Richardson of Boston,
Mrs Clara A. Anthony, Mrs. Rachael
Howland, Miss Louis z. Thicker and
Mrs Edmund Anthony, Jr., of Massa-
chusetts; Mrs. l. S. Boyd Of Georgia,
Mrs. W. A. Roebling of New Jersey.
Mrs. j. X. Goodloe of Kentucky, Mrs
H H Adams of Connecticut, Mrs. c.
S. Brice of Ohio, Mrs. Eugene Hale.
Mrs David Starr Jordan, DR.. Charlotte
Blake Brown, Mrs. F. S. Hubbard and
Miss Caroline Jackson of California
Mrs. Ellen A Richardson of Boston,
chief organizer of the movement writ
ing to George H. HarTies of this city,
of the plan thus far formed, says:
The patriotic ladies of America are
TO build the Administration building
and they propose to make the 22d of
February. 1898, the nations first Offer
ing day for this purpose, asking no
large contribution, begging nothing
Americas s 70000.000 people must build
this great monument. If the 1900. 600
children in the public schools in Amer
lea would give an offering of a penny
each on Washington's birthday they
would raise a sum sufficient to erect the
building and endow it. Let us then join
hands and have an American Univer-
sity, American sciences, American ideas
for American citizens"
Mrs. Richardson further stated that
she has arranged with the proper au-
thorities that the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing shall produce certificates
which will be given to those who con-
tribute.

1t is quite true that this word is in
