JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY,

The author Of the modest little PAM
phlet that gives Retrospect of Twenty
Years of the life and work of the ia
nous university, founded by the gen
er0sity of Johns Hopkins, might be ex-
cused if he had INDUCED in something
more than a simple account of the ori-
gin and purposes of the foundation and
the work it has accomplished. When
one compares this unpretentious mar
rative with the laudatory publications
put forth by institutions that have fol-
lowed the path blazed by the Johns Hop
&ins and initiated the methods there
initiated, one feels that the writer of
this has erred on the side Of modesty
if he has erred at all. When Johns

decided that the time had come when
there should be established in this
country a real university and that the
distinction between such a school and
the college and seminary should be re-
lieved Of the confusion into which II
had fallen by the appropriation of the
ambitious name by schools whose mar
row scope made it ludicrous.
The writer states the distinction

them wider range of more thorough

He explains that the necessity Of keep

laws. The governor recommends the
establishment Of a board Of concilia-

preventing strikes when possible He
recommends the Legislature to memo

Woilu MS wealth OF NATIONS that
fatty denied the ideas Of trade and
government held by the practical men
of business and the statesmen who re-
Elected their views in legislation. 1t
took seventy years for the economic
truths of Adam Smith to find Judgment
In English policy. When recurring
financiers to the conviction that their
banking system was out Of harmony
with economic laws, Peel undertook,
with the advice Of the most prominent
bankers and business men, to revise
the framework Of the national bank,
and their common opinion that the
limited was incorporated in the act
limiting the credit issues to Els, 900, 900,
and requiring all issues in excess to
have gold reserve equal to them.
1t was the closet philosophers of the
day, men like Mill, Tooke and others
who had been making finance a sub
ject Of study, who objected to this fast
and-hard limitation, and predicted that
the act would be found unavoidable in
the first serious panic that would oc-
cur, because of this inelasticity. The
men OF the closet were right, and the
men of affairs were wrong; for when
the panic Of 1847 came three years after
the enactment of the new system, the act
was suspended to permit additional is
sues to meet the stringency. Again, in
1857, and again in 1866, the financial
measure of the statesmen and bankers
failed to meet the emergency it was
designed for, and suspensions Of the
restriction became absolutely neces-
sary. The men Of the closet proved
themselves better learned in the laws
Of finance than did the men who made
finance their occupation.
In our own country we have had the
same experience. There was a bitter
complaint made in 1890 by the ''practi-
car statesmen and business men that
there was not college in the country
where their peculiar theory Of econom-
political economy all over the land
were poisoning the minds of youth
with the heresies Of free trade Their
cry arose for professors who would
teach their doctrine, but we recall only
one response to the demand In the
matter Of the currency, the party COM
ing into power again has formulated
the present system against the advice
of every eminent student Of the laws
which underlie the science Of money
But this prejudice in political circles
against what Marshall Jewell termed
the literary fellers'' is not surprising
when one considers how general it is
in other matters. Any doctor will tell
you how the quack succeeds and how
the remedies of some old woman or
some mythical Indian doctor are taken
and his thrown out OF the window.
Wisconsin legislators years ago
thought that law was a simple matter
and provided good moral character"
as the only qualification for admission
to the bar. On a larger scale we have
just had the dismal spectacle of several
million voters setting their approval!
upon as hare Drained a scheme of cur
rency as ever disordered brains
evolved, with every student of finance
against them.
