vision for the instruction needed to
qualify students for important posts
in the service of state or nation. The
proposition for endowment fund Of
s.. 900. 900. as we'll as for buildings and
site, puts the project in concrete shape.
1t is not the purpose of this article
to discuss the relation of the group OF
universities that is growing up In
university, or the possibility OF such
an institution supplementtng their
work. The fact which stands out Is
that the failure of the government to
make provision for utilizing the oppor-
tunities for higher study and research
which the National Capital offers has
not been overlooked and that higher
education has not been neglected, al
though it has been left to institutions
depending on private and denomina-
tional endowment. The National Capt.
tai today is living university. and TINS
fact receives more appreciation abroad
than il does at home.
The foreign mind, with the tendency
to place the state initiative above ind1-
vidual initiative, simply does not com
prehend why there is no government
university at the seat OF government
in the United States. In the old world
veIopment of higher education is taken
as a matter of course. just as in the
United States the public school system
is taken as function Of municipal
and state authority.
In the new world the same relation
is assumed, except in the United States.
During the recent pan American con-
gress in Washington. in the glow of
enthusiasm. which the gathering de-
yeloped. there were even suggestions OF
an international institution of higher
learning. or pan-American University
at Washington. The exchange of pro-
fessors and an interchange of students
is the practical expression of this. as
piration.
In the Latin American countries of
the western hemisphere the idea of
state institutions grew naturally out of
the Spanish and Portuguese colonial
systems. Some of the institutions of
learning, which have survived in these
Latin American countries are about
the most worthy monuments of the
colonial policy of the old world in the
new world. Various of these countries
have provisions in their constitutions
for higher education.
