Augustus Van Wyck.
Comptroller Grout said that in working
out the idea OF public university inBrook-
Ign no had looked further than the scheme
either Of the City College or the Normal
College, OF both combined. and had dreamed
'of a real public university, a group OF
schools Of many kinds. into which such
private Brooklyn institutions ne the Poly
technic, the Adelphi. the Packer Institute
aud even the Pratt Institute and the Long
Island Hospital Medical College might
possibly be combined with the BROOKLYN
Institute and the Brooklyn Public Library
a great public university, TO be located on
what is now called Institute Park. but what
when it was reser I'd from sale, was named
University Park
Mr. Grout said ne Legislature should
be asked TO pass an act to authorize public
university in Brooklyn, the trustees 10 he
appointed by the Mayor, with authority
TO the city by its Board OF Estimate and
Apportionment 10 locate It's site, and also
TO make such appropriation as the Board
OF Estimate might see fit for buildings and
maintenance, and with authority to make
agreements OF consolidation with other
educational institutions.
Addresses supporting the Comptroler's
Idea were made by Andrew Mclean, editor
OF the Brooklyn Citizen; President Alex
ander E. Orr Of the Rapid Transit Com
mission, Ir. 81. Clair McKelway Of the
State Board Of Regents and editor Of the
Brooklyn Fogle. OK Mayors David A. Boody

dent Teton, Prof Hooper Of the Institute
of Arts and Sciences, Prof. Atkinson Of
the Polytechnic Institute. Park Commits
soner Kennedy, Thomas +, Peters, editor
Of the BROOKLYN Times, and State Senator
Patrick H. McCarTen.
! am in favor of anything that means
the uphuilding Of Brooklyn said Senator
Mc(arren. I'm one Of the pioneers Of
that idea
Also autonomy suggested Comptroller
Circuit, which caused laughter
Senator McCarren said he would do all
IN ms power as e legislator 10 aid in carry
ing out the plan.

was positive that the Board ~ Regents
would approve tho idea

boldt, when he learned that the crew
sought assistance, declined to aid
them, saying he had no time to lose,
and he did not want to be fined by the
Canadian custom officers for aiding an
American bottom in Canadian waters.

few OF the operatives in the starching

turbances were frequent. Girls still
at work were kicked and beaten as
they entered or left the factory and
several men had their clothing torn
of. Police and deputy sheriffs were
overpowsred and there was talk OF
calling upon the Governor for aid
The strike was against alleged cuts in
