Prospect Of Establishing a Center of
the University Association

Prospect Of Establishing Center o1
the University Association.
We are pleased to call attention, in
brief, TO the aims, objects and plans OF
the University association and Worlds
! Congress extension, a branch of which
will probably be established in our city,
The University association is not con-
nected with any one university, but is
rather d federation of the teaching
I powers of the principal universities and
/ colleges throughout the world. Incor-
! porated with the association is the IA
nous Worlds Congress extension, an
| International organization, perfected to
continue the benefits derived from the
! Worlds congresses held during the
Worlds Columbian exposition, Chicago.
All Of the addresses or papers read at
those congresses bearing on the sub
jects presented in the course Of study
as arranged by the University associa-
ton, will be edited and given to the
members. All of the living members of
those congresses throughout the world
will also, from time to. time, contribute
articles on present topics. Notes on
modern discoveries will also be an i'm
portant feature of the course.
The work of the University associa-
ton deserves the earnest attention and
support of thoughtful people, especial
(, ly ministers of the gospel and educat-
ors. AS education is not finished when
we leave school, college or university,
such means of continuous systematic
and suggestive self-culture as that pro-
vided by this association. will be very
helpful to all those who are anxious
enough to pursue systematic study in
the field of history, science, literature
economics, or art. Many of the proni-
nent educators who are at present con-
nected with the principal universities
and colleges of the world, are connected
with this association, and it is endorsed
by over fifty college and university
presidents, and some of the greatest
thinkers of the world. We need only
mention few Of the names to bear
