The First Universities.

To fix precisely the date of the rise
Of the first universities is impossible
for the reason that they were not
founded, but grew. They were started
by a few able men who had something
they wished to teach and youths
wished to learn. Gradually the free,
voluntary center of learning became
the organized affair we know as the
university. Among the earliest Of
these centers of learning were Saler-
no, Naples and Bologna, Italy being
the first land to experience the literary
revival. We may say that Salerno
university vas fairy established by
the year 1000, the University Of Bo-
logna by 1850 and the University of
Naples by the year 1900. The Uni
versity of Paris, which owes its ex-
tstence to the genius Of Abelard, was
founded about the same time.-New
