dowment Of national university at
Washington:
1.-THE gegeral discussion which has been
carried on during the last twenty-five
years In relation to the establishment of
a national university I'm Washington had
eliminated IN a magnificent plan and en-
dowment BY Mr.. Andrew Carnegie.
For number OF years the university y
idea held sway. but about two years ago
the matter was taken up by the Washing
ton Academy of Sciences and this body,

ton Memorial association formulated a
plan definitely which differed radically
from the university plan contemplated in
the earlier years

ate with universities, colleges and indi-
viduals IN securing TO properly qualihed
persons opportunities for advanced study
and research.
DIR Daniel &. Gilman. until lately presi-
dent Of Johns Hopkins university, was
elected director OF the Institution.
When Mr. Carnegie came 10 consider
the question of endowing national uni

Carnegies plan not only embraces all the
proposed activities OF the institution, but
goes far beyond these.
