Professors of Columbia and Harvard and

rieS and laboratories of several great COM
munities offer to students exceptional tacll-
tiles, many of which are by no means du-
plicated in governmental departments. We
must remember that, eXacting as the teach
ing profession is. the research instinct is
normally strong among scholars. Facilities
offered in New York or Boston tempt the
studious just as the resources of Washing
ton are tempting. Moreover. utilization at

The University Outlook.

Out OF the present agitation. Washington
seems likely to secure university of dis
tinct Importance, devoted in the main to
graduate study of highly specialized char
acter. That in number of students mag
nitude of private equipment it will be Oh
a footing with longer established institu-
tons Of learning. may be doubted. Its OPP
portunity will lie in pushing the development
of facilities which cannot be duplicate d
elsewhere. In certain branches of study 1t
may easily outrank all other American uni
versities in such subjects, indeed, as diplo-
macy, International law, American history
since 1900, meteorology and the application
of the physical sciences to agriculture, 1t
seemingly must lead all others.
The ambitious university at Washington
will not need a large acreage. with an array
of museums and libraries. because these
the government has established. Indeed, ac-
cording to report, the university will be re-
located on a tract rather less than ten acres
land enough no doubt, for such headquar-
tiers as are necessary where students do
much of their work outside. Harvard Uni
versity now occupies, exclusive OF lands
held for investment purposes, o42 acres. The
Harvard Medical School alone occupies site
of twelve acres. Yale has an acreage some
what smaller than that of Harvard. and
Columbia, situated in the metropolis. covers
a tract of nearly thirty-five acres. Chicago
