 cated on Potomac Heights.

- Washington. May 27.-President Wilson and two members of his cabi- net, Secretaries Bryan and Daniels, participated today in the formal open ing of. the American university, the new national Methodist Episcopal school. located on the Potomac Heights overlooking the nations capital. The national character of the occasion was ftIfther emphasized by the participa- ton 1of the Marine band in the exer- cises and the addresses of Bishop John William Hamilton of Boston mad Bish- opf William Frazer Mcdowell of Chi cago.
 Bishop Earl Cranston of Washington presided at the ceremonies, held on the university campus, and attended by thousands of educators and churchmen from all parts of the. United States. The late President Mckinley and Col onei Roosevelt laid cornerstones of buildings for the university, which was projected 25 years ago by Bishop Hurst and was formally opened for the first time today.
 Scholarship. it seems to me-" said President Wilson in his address, Ifs the mastery, the exact mastery and comprehension of great bodies of knowledge; and the comprehension is more difficult than the mastery. 1t is much easier to acquire than it is to impart- and yet all knowledge is dead which is not interpreted. The vision of the scholar is worth more to the world than his industry"
