The Johns Hopkins University

When the Johns Hopkins University applied
to the Legislature for an appropriation the
ADVOCATE opposed it, and remarked that if
aid was once granted ii would become a per
manent expenditure, although it was declared
that the assistance was only needed for two
years.
When the General Assembly meets in Jan
uary the University, in all probability, will
again be an applicant for State appropria-
ton. If so the Legislature should demand
strong reasons for the outlay. With faculty
of l6s and AN enrolment of about $50 stu
dents, it would appear that the institution IS
quite top. heavy. 1t is difficult to imagine
what necessary work there is for los teachers
and lecturers.
