A QUEER UNIVERSITY.
Cairo Has tho Worlds Oldest Eduoa-
tional Institution.


when we think of Harvard or Yale,
the former dating from 1893 and the
latter from 1901, we think Of them as
old universities says a writer in the
American Educational Review; but
when we pass TO the other side Of the
world we discover that even the oldest
American universities are in reality
very young institutions.
1.-The oldest educational institution in
the world is the University of Ell
Ashar, Cairo. founded III the year $50
by the great Saladin. 1t is the central
seat of learning for the whole Mo-
hammedan world. as well as foun-
tain OF spiritual life. 1t occupies an
ancient mosque in the Arab quarter Of
Cairo. surrounded by a confusing maze
Of narrow streets where the population
is made up OF representatives of every
race that follows the prophet.
1.-The old mosque covers several acres
and consists Of series of courts sur
rounded by long cIoisters with low
roofs supported by forests of columns.
The floors of red tiles are covered daily
by a multitude of men and boys. squat
ting in SemicircleS around their teach
ers, who sit with their backs to tie
columns featuring in mOnotones.
1.-The chancellor of the university is
always a descendant of the prophet
and is usually man of ability and
learning. He occupies apartments i'll
FL Ashar and is not only the supreme
educational but the ecclesiastical head
of the church of Egypt.
"There is no organization similar to
that in modern universities. ANY rep
utable man who desires to teach can
obtain the privilege by application and
is assigned a column where he may sit
and impart the truth as he thinks
proper. His fame or ability will at
tract more or less students and dis
ciples, who pay MIN fees according to
their means"
