for the establishment of a national uni
versity-not a nebulous, inchoate. in
tangible federation of our state univer-
stiles and not even this combined with
the various scientific bureaus of our
government. but an actual, physical
entity. We should have lands and
buildings, board OF government, a
strong teaching force. classrooms and
students and fund sufficient to main
tain the highest kind of research.
The economic demand for such a
university is obvious and the field for
its operations no less apparent. The
great growth in usefulness of our state
universities and the very trend of the
growth of our private universities show
1t. Not so many years ago our private
foundations were the intellectual homes
of scholars. either in embryo or fully
developed They taught the three pro
fessions-ministry, law and medicine
and acknowledged no other callings or
lines of work as entitled to that name
To-day they have developed from
scholastic institutions into educational
institutions and have created a num-
Der of professions. For hold that any
field in which scientific knowledge is
applied to the public welfare is a pro-
fession. Instead of treating only with
books they treat with facts, applying
the results Of scientific research to
every phase of economics. finance,
commerce and industry. Indeed, do
not call to mind any phase of our in
dustrial life which they do not touch
1.-The idea of national university is
not new. 1t was strongly advocated
by Washington. who bequeathed GER
tain shares of stock as a nucleus for its
endowment Our governmental organ
tzation is and has been for many years
working toward that result. We have
no isolated bureaus, nor could have as
national proposition. The reports on
the observations and investigations of
the different stations established by the
government all over the United States
are concentrated at Washington, each
In the bureau which has jurisdiction
over it. The result is that all the in
formation gathered by isolated stations
of any one department has place OF
concentration where the whole of the
findings can be compared and the ne;
result or conclusion arrived at.
But without co-ordinating this infoY
nation with economic conditions il
other fields no adequate diagnosis of
condition of error can be made and Il.
prescription for its correction can b.
written. Since it is impossible, in these
days of interstate commerce and even
of international commerce, for any
community to live n life of isolation.
! since the lines of one industry touch
! and affect 50 many others. it must be
apparent that there is great and press
ing need for a central institution
But not only results of the activities
of government departments should find
such Capitalization. Here also should
come the findings of state and private
universities. both in this country and
abroad. on any and every subject az

New York, June 23.-In settling the
tangled financial affairs of H. B. Hol-
Inns & Co.. bankrupt brokers, in the
United States district court there was
revealed an exceptional phase of the
friendship that the late J. p. Morgan
and the present William Vanderbilt
held for Mr.. Hollins.
On request Judge Hand ordered that
the name of Mr.. Vanderbilt and the
estate of j. P. Morgan be stricken
from the list of creditors. The Van
derbilt claim was for $546,596 and the
Morgan estate claim for $309,S5
These large loans are to be regarded
as purely personal transactions be-
tween friends and not to be included
in the schedules of the firms liabil-
ties.
Some day Mr.. Hollins may be able
to pay them back, but if he does not
that will be charged to profit and loss
account of good fellowship. Through
this generosity Mr.. Hollins finds him
