WHAT CARNEGIE DID
An Offer Of Ten Millions For
National University.
TO Be LOCATED At WASHINGTON.
Proposition to EndOw an Institution
For Higher Education Made to
the President-Mntter to lie
Submitted to Congress.

WASHINGTON. Dec 10. - The
Washington Post this morning says
that President Roosevelt has received
a letter from Andrew Carnegie in
which the latter offers TO make Il do
nation of SlOOOO,00O to the United
congress by the president in a special
| message.
| Mr. tarnegie's Gift is for the purpose
| of establishing in Washington uni
versity for higher education. AS far
as his idea has been developed it pro
poses Il gift after the manner of the
beQuest of James Smi1hson. the Eng
lishman, who gave $l,00U.OUU for the
establishment and maintenance Of
what is now known as the Smithso-
nian institution. Smithson desired the
institution founded by him TO be Il fac
tor in "the diffusion of scientific knowl.
edge"
Mr.. Carnegie proposes that the uni
verSity which he is to endow shall be
the greatest institution in the world
ici wv w ''NicPiL'iil VI blhi'l N""N"
tion. He has consulted President Gil
man of Johns Hopkins university,
President Hadley of Yale. President
Eliot of Harvard. exPresidcnt White
Of Cornell and all the leading educators
of the country. They heartily indorse
his plans. The proposed university will
not interfere in the least with the edu-
cational institutions already stahliSh-
ed, but will supplement them, for, ac-
cordng to the present plans, its doors
will be open only to those who desire
to take up Il postgraduate course. Mr..
Carnegie also wants the new uniycr-
sIty TO take the lead in original re-
search, so that the United States can
eventually stand side by side with
Germany, if not excel that nation, in
scientific development.
Mr., Carnege's plan does not pro-
pose national university in the sense
that an appropriation will be asked or
needed The government is simply to
be the trustee of the magnificent en-
dowmrnt, just us it administers the
fund bequeathrd by Smithson.
The amount of money to be given by
Mr.. Carnegie equals the sum of the
present endowment fund of Harvard
and is considerably more than the in
vested fund of Yale With the Catholic
university, the Methodist university
and the proposed Carnegie university,
Washington will be the educational
center of the country.
