pare the way. The men VINO nave siHe"
The subject thoughtful consideration nave
reached tho definite conclusion "hie"
has now become with them positive
conviction, that such a university as tnes
have IN mind is Inevitable. They do not
axnact to build 1t in a day or year,
but tho time has come to prepare ioi A.
They arc now engaged In ouuln'1s hia
maturing plan. and their lml1'eo'ate
3nurnose in a substantial way Is 10 Pto-
,idn a suitable site. It seems TO them
s,r,ost nroyidential that Major Lewis

chased and kept intact suitaple pooS

ideal site for such AN institutions It ID
the purpose of the pioneers to secure
this site if possible, and otier 1t 10 me
various colleges as a permanent nome.
In this way the foundation OF the Uni
yersity OF { Richmond VIII be laid. SO TO
speak. and the work of building the so-
pcrstructure will be a matter for future
consideration and development.
The New York World, in an article on
college building, points out that of the TOUR
largest colleges in the country, three arc
in or near the great cities OF Boston, Chi
cgo and New York, and onc-Michigan
University-ls less than forty miles from
Detroit Even In Michigan University
there is talk of removing the medical
school 10 Detroit, Just as the medical
school of Cornell Is in New York City.
The city location is desirable, because u
supplies students and because the poor
student, working his way, fares better
in city than in q village, where there
is nothing for him to do Moreover, the
Ieducauonal advantages OF city to tho
studea, arc so apparent that they need
not to be pointed out. Experience after
ii all is the best teacher, and experience
has shown that those colleges which are
most prosperous in all respects are those
which are located at or near the great
est centres OF population. Richmond Il
natural educational centre, and TIT
University Of Richmond is a foreson,
conclusion. But tho sooner 1t comes tn
better. and 1t is our business to spee'

nigh MS dangerous MS man who has
tho slnnllpOX
Virginia's Aristocracy.

Mr.. Philip a. Bruce contributes to
the Gcntlcman's Magazine OF London
an article on the "social Life OF Eng
lands First Colony" In which he says
that the early settlers In virginia
moro nearly resembled the parent stock
of tho Mother Country than those OF
any other Colony; that In Virginia
was to be found from the beginning
a representative class of Englishmen,
and that In Virginia was the true
English aristocrncy. This, he declared,
was due primarily to the fact that tho
people OF Virginia were drawn, not
l,he the people of New England from,
ono section OF tho English community,
hut from all sections. Had they been
drawn from one section" says Mr..
Bruce. "a, section that conformed to
an nustere religious faith and sup.
ported narrow social system. tho
people OF Virginia would have grown,
under the influence OF their remote sit
uation, moro intense In these special
much out of sympathy with the Eng
lsl1 people ut large. 1t was for this
reason that tho Puritanism OF New
England far surpassed in vigor and
f1rmness the Puritanism Of old Eng
land The virginians, on the other
hand, were types OF Englishmen in
general, and were therefore loyal to
the monarchy, faithful to the Angels
can Church, and true to oil the hearty
and generous customs and habits OF
their English forefathers. The isolated
situation OF the Colony and the soclud-
ed life of the plantations only con-
firmed these inherited traits
He calls over long list Of names
to show that among the first settlers
were to be found many representatives
of Englands best families-of her gem
try, her wealth and her literature.
In the course Of his entertaining
article Mr.. Bruce also gives a fasci-
mating sketch of country life In yir-
GINA in the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries, and traces the origin Of our
hospitality. which has passed into
proverb. AS an evidence of the love
which Virglnlans bore the Mother
Country. and Of the close ties that
bound them to their English cousins,
and as proof of their loyal feeling. he
points to the names Of Virginia coun-
ties given in Colonial days, practically
all Of which are Of English origin.
Moreover, he tells his English readers
that nowhere else In America does
there survive a i population, SO thor
oughly English in descent as that
which inhabits the older parts Of Vir-
ginia to-day. This, he says, Is due
to the fact that the purity Of the
English blood of the original settlers
has not been adulterated by that large
continental immigration which has
made tho people Of all the Northern
States composite people.
Mr. Bruce's paper will probably be
n revelation to many Of his Englist
readers, and will enhance their inter.
esq in our jamestown celebration.
