ards, its equipment and it's prestige.
The university, which started its
existence with thirty nine students
and several teachers, now has a stu
dent body of more than 5000 and a
faculty of approximately 400. In
stead OF being merely the national
university of which Washington
dreamed, it has assumed an interna-
tional scope; for its student body
is composed of representatives from
all cornors Of the globe as we'll as
from every State of the Union.
Donates Stock.
President Washington was so
much interested in his plan for a
higher educational institution at the
seat of government that in 1890 he
sent a. message to Congress on the
subject. Five years later he Of
fered to give fifty shares of Poto-
mac Company stock, then valued at
$4,000, as an endowment for a ma
tional university to be erected dur
ing his lifetime,
The national university was no,
started during Washington's life
time, but his dream never became
dtmmed, and when he died in 1893
he left this item in his will: -
give the fifty shares which l hold
in the Potomac Company toward
the endowment of a university, to
be established within the limits of
the District OF Columbia, under the
auspices of the general government,
II that government should incline to
extend fostering hand toward it"
President Madison was as enthu.
siastiC as Washington for the es-
tablishment- of a great university
here and he dwelt on the subject in
message to Congress in 1910.
In the. meantime, George Wash
ington's S22,2O0 bequest had gone
up in smoke; for the Potomac Com
pany failed and the nifty shares of
stock became worthless.
Rice Started Move.
In 1917 the Rev. Luther Rice, a
Baptist missionary. conceived the
ington. In 1919 Rice purchased
nearly forty-seven acres of land be-
tween what are now Fourteenth and
Fifteenth streets northwest, and
running from the Boundary, now
Florida avenue, for about half a
mile nOrthward. The price paid for
this site. now worth millions of dol
lars, was $1,000.
A charter was granted by Con-
gress and approved by President
Monroe February l. 1921.
The university is coeducational
and has been for many years. In
1884, after prolonged consideration,
a bare majority of the~faculty OF the
medical school favored the admls-
sion of women to the medical school
The first woman graduate, Mrs
Clara Bliss Hines, now Mrs. Finley,
received her diploma in 1887. The
Corcoran Scientific School, now the
Engineering College, has admitted
women since its founding. in 1884.
