AMERICAN UNIVERSITY
LATE IMPROVEMENTS MADE AT
THE INSTITUTION.
Tribute to the Late Bishop Hurst and
Chaplain Milburn, Respectively
List Of officers.


Gently completed beautiful granolithic
water table. five feet wide, around the en-
tire College of History of the American
University. This will prevent the damp
ness which has sometimes resulted from
the heavy fall and spring rains.
This splendid structure is open to the
public through the day, on application to
the Office Of the superintendent in the frame
building little to the south of the college,
The proper viewpoint from which to see
the beauty of the edifice is from the west
side, where the architectural front Is pre-
sented in all it's chaste and classic strength
Its interior corridors and suites of rooms
in sets of three, for the personal use of the
professors for seminary work and for lee
lures, with the assembly hall ana nprary
and cabinet rooms, furnish a feast for the
eye and mind.
The midsummer issue Of the University
Courier is a memorial number of Bishop
Hurst. 1t contains a full stenograph1c re-
port of the funeral at the Metropolitan
Methodist Church. together with the actAon
Of the trustees on the death of Bishop
Hurst, and also of the funeral OF Chaplain
w H. Milburn, both of whom were trus-
tees of the university. 1t has also trlb-
ute to Bishop Hurst, in verse, by Rev. Al
bert Osborn, registrar of the university.
The list of applicants for entrance upon
some one or more of the postgraduate
courses contempls ted in the work OF the
university continues to grow. In response
to the expression of Impotence at the delay
in opening some Of the departments 1t Is
stated in the resolutions of the general con-
ference of the NJ. E. Church, accepting the
university under it's patronage. it was de-
clared that no department ought to pc
opened for instruction until the assets OF
the university should reach $5OoO.OOO over
and above the existing values of Its real
estate. Toward this goal the chancellor and
his helpers have been working with zeal
and success. The high mark set is thought
by many friends of the institution to work
too great a hardship and 1t is confidently
expected that at its next session in Los An
geles, Cal. in May 1904. the general con-
ference will SO modify its action as to make
the task light one and render the early
opening fthe institution possibility.
