world: but with the good wishes Of
everybody in the land.
The dedication today is the fruition Of
more than twenty years of devoted labor
on the part of those interested In the
work and is a partial realization of the
dreams of Bishop Hurst, whose service
and residence in this city endeared him
to large part. of the people of WASH
ington 1t is interesting to take glance
back through the years in the matter or
this institution. and in a report to the
committee on universities of the WASH
ington Board of Trade for 1891 the chair
man of that committee wrote:
II have the honor to report that the
various movements for the establishment
of high grade universities at Washington
are rapidly taking shape The Catholics
of the United States have already started
an institution of learning which will be
their leading university of the world and
will cost s10,O0O,OOO or more before it is
completed.
Under the auspices of the Methodists
of the United States another national
university on a similar grand scale has
been projected and will soon be opened.
"A we'll directed movement is under
way to enlarge the plan and the scope
of Columbian University into a truly ma
tional institution.
I'm addition to these movements two
bills have been introduced in Congress
providing for non-sectarian national
university, one by Senator Edmunds OF
Vermont and the other by Representa-
tive O'Neill of Pennsylvania"
In 1895 the progress on the Methodist
University was sketched by Samuel L..
Beiler, vice chancellor, to the chairman
of the Board of Trade committee on uni
versities in these words.
Since your last annual meeting the
last payment of $4,000 has been made on
the site. which is now held by unincum-
bered title by the trustees Last year
1Sa4) there was received S20O,0OO in diff
ferent forms for endowment. There has
also been a popular subscription of
$4,000 for special hall in the univer-
sity. This year has been devoted to the
matter of building. One hundred and
fifty thousand dollars has been secured
for the hall of history A large gift is
assured from a gentleman in New York
which enables the trustees to begin the
erection of the hall of languages, which
will cost the same as the hall of history:
Plans are now being perfected by archi-
tects and It is hoped that. excavations
will be begun the latter part of this
month or early in December 81 '-.-
Throughout all the years since the nine
ties work has gone forward on the uni
versity project. The Methodist Univer-
sity will profit by the availability and as
sets of the National Capital as univer-
sity city. The libraries, museums. OBJ
servatories and scientific Institutions at
Washington are facilities at the hand of
university which could not be dupli
Gated for any sum of money and con-
stitute facilities beyond the possibility of
creation by any privately endowed insti-
tuition of learning.

The Morgan Art Collection.

At the time of the death of ]. P Nor
gan there was conjecture as to the dis
position Of the art collection on which
that financier spent much time and
money Since his death there have been
recurring newspaper stories having for
their text the dispersal Of the large art
estate. These statements that have come
from anonymous though apparently well

more numerous. positive and detailed

Mr.. Wilson and One Term.

Speaker Clark said in an address IN Ne"

Presidents for six years and hold them
to one term. AS it is now President

There. are democrats who think that
strict reading of the Baltimore platform
takes Mr. Wilson out of the equation for
1916 But Mr. Clark is not of the num-
ber In his speech in the House on the
canal tolls question he expressed the
opinion that success in office will mean
a second term for Mr.. Wilson: and that
opinion is shared by many republicans as
well democrats.
OF course Mr. Wilson could greatly
strengthen the sentiment in favor of one
term by straightout statement with
drawing his name for consideration in
connection with 1916 Such a statement
could be framed SO as to make it impos-
sible for the friends of the President to
use his name in any of their plans for the
future.
But he Is human. party obligations are
unchanged by anything said at Baltimore
on the one-term matter, and the political
world wags as usual Mr.. Wilson, more

GENERAL LOCKWOOD
BRITISH WAR HERO
HaS seen Serving Constantly Since
Entering the Army in
1876

| LONDON, -Gener,l S;r
| itorace Lockwood Smith-Dorricn, hero
or the historic retreat Of the English
| from Belgium, has long been known
as one OF the best fighting officers
IN the British army. From his entry
into the service in 1876 down to and
through the Boer war, he saw almost
constant service in the field, extend
ing from Zululard to the northwest
frontier Of India.
Educated at Harrow, he Joined
when Is years old the Sherwood For
esters. At the disastrous battle of
lsandula, in 1879 he was one OF thc
ofllcers, who by his athletic powers
as runner and swimmer, escapcd the
Zulu warriors, and lived to take part
IN the battle of Ulundim, when Cete-
Wayo was finally disposed OF. He
mentioned in dispatches, and since
then honOrs have fallen fast upon
him.
General Smith-Dorrien was in the
Egyptian campaign Of 1882, in which
year re raised and commanded
corps Of mounted infantry, and in
1898, with his mounted infantry did
good work at Suakin, Returning to
Egypt in 1898, he took part in the
Nile expedition, and was present at
the battle Of Khartoum, and in the
subsequent operations in the Scum
dan.
In the Boer war General Smith
Dorrien was mainly instrumental IN
bringing about the capture OF Cronie
and his army. BY his attack upon
the Beers on the MOdder river, the
Gordons, the Canadians, and the Roy
al Engineers secured a strong posi-
ton, from which they enfiladed the
cnemy's trenches, and by preventing
them from drawing water, precipl-
tated Conjc's surrender. He after
wards commanded the lines OF com
municatiOn from KOOnStadt to PretOr-
la. His wOlk was three times men
toned IN dispatches and his reward
was the Queens medal with four
clasps and promotion to major gen.
eral for distinguished service in the
field.
