MODERN UNIVERSITY PLANS.

The saying that a university must grow, 3nd
cannot be made, has fallen into discredt. In
the United States and in other countries We
have in the last halfcentury seen more than
one or two universities, fairly entitled TO he
called great, created de novo in the course of
a few years. They do not in all respects COM
pare with the ancient seats Of learning which
have slowly grown up through centuries; but
In some respects they not only rival but sur
pass them. They do, at any rate an nvalu-
able work and arc entitled to the most serious
and respectful consideration in the academic
world. And they are Of especial and unique
value in that they show. as nothing else does or
can do The trend Of modern educational thought
aud the manner in which modern social needs
are to be met by scholarship.
Note for example. the latest undertaking Of
the kind Its scene is Birmingham. the Eng
lish Midland metropolis long noted for its prac-
teal industries. and not unknown as a centre
Of thought and intellectual culture. II is pro-
posed to establish there a great teaching uni
versity, into which some existing colleges will
be absorbed, but which. in general plan and in
the bulk Of It's details and appliances. will be
entirely new It's object. stated by Mr..
Chamberlain. who is at the head Of the enter
prise. is to create In Birmingham great
school OF universal learnng-an institution
which shall provide for the intellectual cultiva-
ton of the mind In the broadest possible sense.
II will be interesting to observe just what is
the Birmingham ideal Of such an institution
