Three Universities at Washington TO
Unite.
Washington. March IA plan has
been suggested 10 unite the Columbian.
American and National universities OF
the District Of Columbia TO form the
nucleus of q great university at the
capital. city. The trustees of the Amer
lean university, with its endowment OF
over S2000 coo. and its wide tract Of
ground in the northwestern suburbs,
have discussed the project. Bishop Nc
Cabe. head Of the university, has spo-
ken favorably Of the idea. President
Needham of the Columbian university
and a number of other officers of that
Institution have expressed a Willingness
TO meet the American university people
and consider the project. The National
university officers are favora bic. 1t is
entirely probable that within the next
few months such meeting Of the diff
ferent interests Will be had.
1t is suggested by friends of the COM
bination plan that merger would re-
tain at least one Of the strong features
of each of the chief institutions and
would give much greater financial
strength. The union plan chiefly, how
ever. is for the establishment of real
university post graduate work.
