MANY ASK SCHOLARSHIPS.
Board Of Governors of St. Johns
To Hold Meeting.

The Board of Governors and Visitors
of st. Johns College at its meeting to-
morrow night will take up the award
of the free scholarships for the coming
school year. It is understood that
while it is only possible TO accommo.
date $50 scholarship students. the
board already has applications from
over 800 youths.
The recent boom in the military de-
partment of tho institution, including
the annual encampment at Tolchester
and the participation in big martial
demonstrations like the Inauguration,
is one of the causes assigned for the
increased popularity of the old school.
The present accommodations for the
students are inadequate and it is as
serted that there should be more build
ings for dormitories on the campus.
In this,connection it has been suggest
ed that there should also be n suifi-
cient number of dwellings on the
green to accommodate the families of
the faculty, as those now living in
town stand ia many cases in danger
of losing their houses or having the
rent raised on them by the landlords.

FOR A STATE UNIVERSITY.
President Fell, of St. Johns Col
lege, Pleased At The
Outlook.
MEETING TO HAVE BEEN HELD,
POSTPONED.
Absence of The Members Of The
Committee Causes a
Delay.

Owing TO the absence of many OF the
committee appointed 20 consider the
plans for the coalition of st. John 5
College. the Maryland Agricultural
and the Maryland University into a
State University. the meeting ar
ranged for yesterday was postponed
until next September.
President Fell, of st. Johns Col
lege, was the Originator of the idea
and TO him belongs the credit of the
fnrtherance of the plans TO accomplish
this end Dr. Fell was in Baltimore
Yesterday to attend the meeting and
gave expression to his optimistic views
of the feasibility of the plans. Or.
Fell said:
1--WE can hardly hope for an imme-
diate carrying out of the idea, but ia
the course of time | expect to see the
three schools merged into one. None
of the schools will lose its identity
aud all will be benefited Thesrecent
action of the faculties of the Mary
land University and the College OF
Physicians and Surgeons in agreeing
that hereafter all candidates for ma
circulation must have college degrees
or do a certain amount Of work pre-
paratory To entering these medical
departments was a step toward the
formation of such a university as is
contemplated.
"There are many young men who
have neither the time, the money nor
opportunity to spend four years at
college to get degree. They must
do this work somewhere, and there is
no better place than in the undergrad
uate department of the university
whose medical school they expect TO
attend. Especially is this true when
provision is made for them TO take
their degree and medical courses in
six wears, which will be one of the
advantages of the proposed university.
This system has been inaugurated
at both Columbia and the University
OF Chicago.
Another advantage will be the
DEVELOPMENT of school of technology
at Maryland Agricultural College on
the high plane of the Boston School
OF Technology = AS Baltimore is the
leading medical center in the United
States. there is no reason why Mary
land should not have q scientific
school which would not give the scien-
tific student the trouble of going far
ther north for his knowledge. +"
