GREAT COLLEGE
IS NEEDED HERE
John Barrett So Tells Grad
yates of Bliss Electrical
School.
LAUDS PRESIDENT WILSON
Suggestion Is Made that the Govern
ment Build and Conduct School
of Learning.

President Wilson, Secretary of Stat,
Bryan, and the general makeup of tht
present administration were Iauded a.
the best set of officials the United States
has enjoyed in the past score OF year,
by Sohn Barrett, Director General of tbs
Psn-Americsn Union at the commence
ment exercises of the Bliss Electrical
School at Carroll Institute Hall las
night.
Where can you find in any natior
higher types OF manhood than President
Woodrow Wilson and Secretary or State
William Jennings Bryan asked Mr.
Barrett Are they not an inspiration to
young men going out into the world
Study their lives from their earliest
childhood to the present and you will
find that they have been dependable
honest and cheerful 1t is a magnificent
thing that the general direction of ouI
government and the administration OF
our foreign affairs are in the hands OF
two such men as President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan"
Mr.. Barrett declared that nations, after
ALL were men. and that the character,
the influence. and the policies of nations
are shaped by the character the infiu-
ences. and policies of individual men
He added that there is confidence over
the world in government Just in the
degree that there is confidence in the
men who are directing its affairs.
Great University Needed.
The City of Washington's advantages
as a place for colossal university.
where students from all over the world
would come, was pointed out by Mr.
Barrett.
Washington is unique among the caud-
tails of the world" asserted Mr.. Barrett
: IL is solely the Capital, and not a mighty.
material, and commercial center and en-
trepot. where fashion. society, the all
mighty dollar, and the mad rush Of
worldly competition act as deterrents upon
the young men and women trying to get
an education Washington has the ideal
atmosphere and condition of life for a
great educational center
This thought prompts me to express
the hope that one OF the notable fea-
lures of Washington in the future is
to be that OF the location and devel-
opment here Of all classes OF educational
nstitutions-technical,' professional, COL
legiate, academical. and others-which
Will provide the ambitious young Amer
lean men and women with every and
any kind Of schooling he or she re-
quires for success in life
In this connection, IL seems to be in
eVitahle that there must be established
mere presently. and the sooner the bet
ter, great national university, to which
the graduates of colleges all over the
United States and the world and also tha
students OF lesser institutions can come
TO round out their education and Sc
cure that special trai.sSg which the
governmental facilitiesSof Washington
provide"
