The German Emperor has made
considerable gifts to the new Ger
manic Museum at Harvard University.
and the Chinese Government has
promised TO provide the department
of Chinese at Columbia University
with rare manuscripts, books. and
other facilities for study. These two

not going TO be necessary in the fu-
ture for Americans to spend long
years in study abroad, as was the case
not much more than twenty-five years
ago.
The change is for the better. There
is no gain in crossing the ocean and
eNpatriating ones self for term of
years TO get something which can be
found at home. Of course. travel is
part of the education of every really
I well-educated person, but this does
not mean that il is necessary to spend
