CARNEGIE HONORED
Formally Installed Rector of St. An.

dress Outlines Plan for Worlds
Industrial as Well as Political Peace.

London, Oct. 22.-Andrew Carnegie
today was formally reinstalled as rec
tor of ST. Andrews University. in the
presence of a large and brilliant assem-
blage.
Carnegie;s rectorial address consisted
of lengthy study of the comparative
growth of nations In the paths of in
dustrial ascendency. with striking
commentary on their future. The
speech was replete with notable statis-
tics and important economic purposes.
Perhaps the most remarkable feature
was the appeal to Emperor William to
use his influence toward the eventual
creation of the United States and Eu-
rope under a form of political and IN
dustrial union. In this way alone, Mr..
Carnegie declared, can Europe conquer
foreign markets or repel the American
invasion France, Germany and Rus-
sia, who had already taken joint action
against Japan, would suffice to ensure a
satisfactory union in Europe.
"The czar' he continued, having
taken the first step toward the peace
of the world in The Hague conference,
the other mighty emperor might some
1ay be impressed with the thought that
1t is due to himself and Germany to
play great part upon the wider stage
of Europe as her deliverer from the in
cubus which opuresses and weakens
her, appalling party seeing fear of war
and ruin between members of her own
body"

Barrett, state superintendent of pub

day evening from a two weeks visit
in the east. While away he took espe-
cial pains to visit a number of col
leges and universities and also the high
schools of New York city, Boston and
other eastern and New England cities.
He is of the opinion that Iowa archi-
tects are fully up-to-date in their
building plans and that many of the
high schools in Iowa are much more
modern and sanitary than those of the
east.
Mr.. Barrett also gave some attention
to the question which is confronting the
Iowa state schools as to the form of
buildings. and whether quadrangle or
some other such plan snail be employ
ed. At Harvard, however, with its
more than seventy buildings. the ques-
ton became much more perplexing. and
even at Yale and at Columbia. there
was little favorably inclined towards
the quadrangle.
