Catholic University's Technical
School.

10 the Editor OF The Star:
In your issue of January II President
Needham of the George Washington Uni
versity is quoted as saying that the Cath
Ole University does not maintain a col
lege in the mechanical arts. 1t becomes
my duty to make known that the Catho-
lie University does carry on quite a
varied instruction in the mechanical arts.
This instruction was first undertaken in
1893, when the university established a
archaeological school. with courses in civil.
electrical and mechanical engineering.
The work was successful from the be-
ginning, and its scope was soon broad
ened by the addition of courses I'm chem
zeal engineering. industrial engineering
and metallurgy. Today the equipment OF
the Catholic University in this respect,
its power plant. laboratories and shops.
is the most extensive of the kind in the
District and ranks favorably with that
of much older institutions. The present
enrolment is eighty-seven students.
working under eight instructors. in both
undergraduate and advanced courses.
These students after graduation pass
regularly into the largest engineering and
industrial enterprises of our nation. Some
of our graduates are engaged in giving
instruction in the mechanical arts i'll
other institutions. The public are hereby
invited to come out to the Catholic Uni
versity and examine our draughtins
rooms, laboratories. shops and general
plant. / may add that this year a large
percentage of our student registration is
for the mechanical arts. and that in the
past valuable dissertations have been pre-
pared on these subjects; others are actu-
ally in preparation. Moreover, important
and successful experiments, some of them
epoch making in the mechanical arts,
have been quite recently conducted IN the
laboratories of the university.
These statements are made In the inter-
est of truth and not with any desire TO
affect the interests of the George Wash
ington University.
THOMAS T. SHAHAN.
Rector of the Catholic University
Of America.

characteristic language.
Mr.. Clark recalled that President Grant

that if Grant had landed at San Fran

$4,000 From Venture.

COPENHAGEN. January 1o.-Walter
Lonsdale is the most recent of the former
associates and employees of DR.. Frederick
A. Cook to admit a distrust of the man
whose claim to the discovery of the north
pole was rejected by the University of
Copenhagen. LonSdale was private secre-
tary to United States Minister Egan up
to the time of the arrive here of DIR.
Cook, with whom he then associated him
accompanied the explorer to the United
States, made the typewriter duplicate of
the polar records, and brought the data
here for examination by the university
committee. He has remained loyal to his
employer until now, when he says he is
beginning to doubt him.
Lonsdale states that he received a let
ter from Cook under date of December
"a and mailed from city i'll southern
Spain.
Cook at Sea.
According to this letter, Cook was on
the sea from December IA to "a, and &C
cordingly was not acquainted with the
decision of the examining committee
when the letter was written.
Since the receipt of this letter Lonsdale
says he has heard nothing from Cook,
though he has addressed several tele-
grams to him at point where he
thought the explorer could be reached.
LonSdale estimates that Cook cleared
$4,000 from the exploitation of his arctic
reputation.
