The University Association is the
practical outgrowth Of the Worlds Fair
Congress. In an address bafor. the
National Educational Association at
Saratoga July II. 1892, the president OF
the Worlds Congress Organization.
said:
These Congresses are planned to
constitute world summer university.
In which may be studied the progress
or mankind In all departments of civil
lied life. We have heard much of the
Federation OF Labor and something OF
me federation Of man, but the univer-
sal federation OF the higher institu-
tons OF learning Is q new star in rho
intellectual armament"
Early in the year 1895 Rt, Rev. sam
uel t'a!lows, Episcopal Bishop Of ILL
nOiS. who was chairman Of the general
committee OF the department Of educa-
ton OF the World Congresses, was in
strumental In having the University
Association Incorporated for the pur.
pose of carrying on the Worlds Con-
gress work. Bishop Fallows has had the
cooperation Of the leading minds on
both sides Of the Atlantic in the carry
ing out Of this plan. with the result that
in the United States, and the idea is
being rapidly popmal'ized In Europe.
After the reading circles are formed
a local instructor is appointed to con-
duct class exercises, giving the centre
the full college system. The studies are
simplilied so that persons Of average
scholarship can perSue them by deyoting
