that at least ten large Western uni

and I have no doubt that they will be
admitted to financial aid from the
foundation.
"The others I visited which fell
short. do not care to name, but it is
fair to say that they were not SO
much deficient in the college course
as in those of such university branches
as medicine. law. etc. and since these
courses really give universities their
claim to e1at title, the foundation in
sists that they be kept at an equal
grade with the regular college stan
dard.''
There is little doubt that DR.. Prlt'
chett's verdict will be promptly rati-
fed by the trustees with note OF
encouragement to the rejected insti-
tutions. however. by way Of promises
to give them all teachers pensions as
soon as they shall have raised the
standards of their special schools.

recently criticized him for refusing
to admit Syracuse to It's benefits be
