AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES.
WHEN SOME OF THEM WERE
FIRST FOUNDED.
Number of Graduates From the Older
Required to Give instruction.

A glance at some college statistics
shows many interesting things in con-
nection with the subject Harvard is
the mother of American colleges, haV-
ing been founded in 1886, and located at
Cambridge in 1887. Its government is
practically the same today as it was in
1850, when the legislature granted the
college charter creating a corporate
body, which had charge of the college,
and consisted of a president, five fell
lows and a treasurer. Now the cor
poration consists of a president and
fellows of Harvard college," and thirty
HVe oVerseers. The oVerseers are elect
ed by the alumni Of the university.
Next TO Harvard in age is William
and Mary, at Williamsburg, Va. the
college of the south, which was found
ed in 1898. The charter for Yale was
given at Saybrooke in 1901, and the col
lege was removed to New Haven, where
it has since remained, in 1717. The UNI
versity of Pennsylvania was founded in
l74O. Princeton in 1746 and Washing
ton and Lee university, at Lexington,
Va, in 1749; Brown was founded in
1854; and Columbia in 1884,. Other col
leges founded in the last century are
Bowdoin 1894; Dartmouth, 1863; Dick
inson 1888; Georgetown university,
1883; GreenVille and Tusculum college,
1884; Hampton Sidney college, 1875;
Rutgers, 1(6b; st, johns college, An
napols, 1888; Union college, Schenec-
tady, 1895; University of Georgia, 1885;
University of North Carolina, 1888; Uni
versity of Tennessee, 1894; Washington
( college, Chestertown, Md, 1888; and
| Washington college, Tennessee, 1895;
Williams college, in Massachusetts,
was founded in 1893.
The college graduates of the coun-
try make pretty good part Of the
| population, and Harvard takes the lead
with a total of 22,2S7 graduates. Yale
/ has sent out into the world 1880 men
and Columbia 1881 Princeton has
| graduated Z, 500 students Dartmouth,
| S,5O4; Brown 1900; Bowdoin, 4619; AM
herst, 4,OO0i and Washington university
! 3,436
The number Of instructors employed
| by the various colleges is interesting
| when compared with the number of
| students, and one concludes that the
! chances for individual instruction are
greater as a general thing in the small
er colleges. Harvard has 1894 instruct
ors, which gives an average of about
nine pupils to each. Yale, with $500
! students, has 245 teachers, while the
! University of Michigan, with 3.15O has
| 1857 instructors. The Catholic Universi-
| ty at Washington has 100 students.
| with 80 professors, and the AndoVer
| Theological Seminary has eight teach
ers to So pupils. James Hopkins aver
ages one teacher for five students. Chi
cago University has 2,132 students and
| IT'S instructors, and the University of
Pennsylvania has 245 instructors for
$500 students.

Mark Twain has discovered that his
jumping Frog" story, founded on an in
cident which really happened in Angels
Camp, Calveras county, in 1919, is two
thouand years old Here is a transla-
ton of the Greek version, which is well
worth quoting in full, the coincidence Is
so singular:
An Athenian once fell in with a
Boeotian, who was sitting by the road
side looking at a frog. Seeing the other
approach the Boeotian said his was
remarkable frog, and asked If he would
agree to start a contest Of frogs. on con-
dition that he whose frog jumped far
thest should receive a large sum OF
money The Athenian replied that he
would II the other would fetch HIM a
frog. for the lake was near To this he
agreed, and when he was gone the Athe-
MAN took the frog, and, opening its
mouth, poured some stones into its stom-
ach, so that ii did indeed seem larger
than before. but could not jump. The
Boeotian soon returned with the other
frog, and the contest began. The second
frog first was pinched ard jumped mod
erately; then they pinched the Boaetian
frog. And he gathered himself up FOR
leap, and used the utmost effort. bat
he could not move mis- body the least.
So the Athenian departed with the
money When he was gone the Boeotian.
wondering what was the matter with the
frog lifted him up and examined him.
And being turned upside down. he opened
ais mouth and Yomited out stones.
