n graduate work at the National Capt.
Opposition Is Strong.

While the establishment Of such a
graduate university might possibly appeal
to your pride as an American. and. while
that dream may some day he realized,
yet IL may easily take generation of
debate to overcome the widespread OPP
position to such a scheme.
But in the movement for such a gov
eminent university the men connected
with the George Washington University
are taking no part whatSoever-either for
or against.
The primary mission and the supreme
ambition OF our university is to serve the
people of the District of Columbia by do
educational needs of its citizens and per-
manent residents, including the vast army
of federal afficials who are brought here
to do the nations work on slender sala-
rfes, and who cannot afford to send their
children away from the city for their ed
ucation. On this point let me call your
special attention to the fourth page of the
Enclosed brief statement.
The point to be kept clearly in mind is
that. even Il such government univer-
sity for graduate work were established
at the National Capital It could not le-
gally receive the Morrill, appropriation.
which is for undergraduate work of a
very special character.
Undergraduate Work Needed.
Hence the proposed government uni
versity could never undertake the prac-
teal undergraduate work in the me-
chanic arts. which Is SO much needed
for the young people living in the Dis
trict, and which the George Washington
University has already begun to do, and
which it would do still better If the
Gallinger bill is passed.
TherefOre we are sure that. as a Wash
ingtonian. you would not wish to see
the Gallinger bill defeated in the inter
est Of a scheme which would benefit only
a comparatively small number of ad-
vanced students who would come tC
Washington temporarily for their post
graduate work.
For these reasons, and on account of
the solid work We are already doing for
the permanent residents and citize..s of
the District. and in view of the still lager
work We are hoping to do for this inn
portant and growing community. We feel
sure that under our new ayd thoroughly
non-sectarian charter NE university
which shares with our beautiful city the
immortal name Of the father Of his coun-
try is more than justified in making a
general appeal to local pride and local
self-interest.
1--WE therefore ask for the vigorous CO.
operation Of all patriotic Washing onlans
in our efforts in behalf of the GallfnSer
bill and in behalf Of the entire work OF
the George Washington University
