MR.. BRYCE'S WARNING
Dangers Attending Specialization
in Education.

Baltimore, Feb. 22.--The dangers tina,
lurk in the modern tendency toward spe-
cialization in education were pointed out
to tie students Of johns Hopkins Univer-
sity to-day by James Bryce. Ambassador
from Great Britain. The ambassador was
among the speakers at the university's an
nual celebration of Commemoration LAY.
MIR. 13ryce declared that specialization
was inevitable because of the far-reacnlng
nature Of modern scientific Investigations
but warned his hearers that narroWness OF
view might result from too close application
TO a special branch of study. He said IN
part:
The uroblem which to-day confronts us
in all universities is how TO find time both
for these specialized studies. which nave
become so much more absorbing, ana aIso
eral field of human knowledge which is nee
essary in order 10 make the university
graduate truly educated and cultivated
man. ~
Devotion to any special study. whether
in the sphere OF natural science or not,
tends TO narrow the mind and prevents the
faculties from attaining their highest de-
velopment. Most Of the great men 10
whom the progress Of science Is due were
not trained as specialists, but had minds
that ranged far and wide over the field OF
knowledge.
The honorary degree Of LII. d. was con-
ferrcd upon the ambassador R. Brent
Keyser, president of the board Of trustees,
announced that the actual construction Of
the new university buildings at Homewood
would be commenced this summer. Nearly
