begins another of its important features
for the current year-the "reminiscences
of Daniel O, Gilman, who for twenty
five years was president Johns Hopkins
University. President Gilman created
new type of university in America,
and one which has proved its success
by the great number of scholars and
distinguished men which it has already
produced by its exact methods of study.
"Ihe Launching of University" tells
the story of the conception of the idea,
and the first steps in gathering togeth
err the remarkable group of professors
who at the very start gave the univer.
sity prestige among men of learning.
President Gilman has an universal gift
for telling an incident with humor aud
dlrectness. This first paper is filled
with good stories of such men as Hux-
ley, George Peabody, Rowland, the
great scientist, Sylvester, etc Two
more papers will continue, in this most
entertaining manner, to describe tue
growth of the university idea, and the
connection of great men with some
thing that has not been done in recent
times.
