A sd. ooo-sTUDENT COLLEGE

A college of 10000 students is
in prospect, according to former
Secretary of War Baker, who re-
Gently told the Johns Hopkins
alumni that he had seen the plans.
Such a college would be huge in
deed, measured by those already
in existence, and would equal the
population OF considerable city.
Columbia University, one Of the
largest colleges in the matter of
attendance, has less than 10000
students, whose numbers are sup
posed to be greater than they
otherwise would be owing to the
desire of students from the in
terror to secure the educational
advantage of residence in New
York in addition to what Column
bia offers them. Why the Univer-
sity of California has as many as
1880 students is less readily
explained. The University of Min
nesota has about 5000 students
and Wisconsin about 5000. Har-
ward has only 6,300 and Yale only

No Adequate Memorial.
Monticello. the home of Thomas
Jefferson, designed by him and thus,
It Is said, representing intimately his
life and his ideals, has been chosen
as the most fitting memorial to one
of Americas great leaders. To him
as yet, no adequate memorial has
been given by the American people.
The beautiful mansion is of the
Doris order of architecture and has
been said by an eminent Frenchman
to be Infinitely superior to any of
the houses in America from point of
taste and convenience, and deserves
to be ranked with the most pleasant
mansions of France and England"
The building has heavy cornices
and massive balustrades. 1t has pro-
jecting porticos east and west. The
interior is in the Ionic style. From
the north terrace the view Is superb.
Here Jefferson and his guests were
accustomed to sit in the summer eve

assembled more patriotism, wisdom
and learning than in any other spot
in America" The estate contains $50
acres.

GIRLS HAND REBUILT
TO MAKE HER A PIANIST

BALTIMORE, Sept. 4.-The max
ing Of what is practically a new
hand for Elizabeth Matthiesen,
fourteen-year-old musical genius,
that she may realize her ambition
to become an artistic at the piano,
is the unusual feat surgeons have
performed at Johns Hopkins Hospi-
tai.
Elizabeth is the daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. Frederick w. Matthiesen.
She fell against a stove and burned
both hands when learning to walk.
The left hand responded to treat
ment, but the right hand gave
indication Of becoming a closed fist.
Surgeons decided to try to return
the hand to use by plastic surgery.
Small bits Of flesh were removed
from the girls leg and grated to
the hand, which was then fitted
with a plaster cast to remold it to
normal shape. Surgeons today
said that the cast was doing its
work and that the girl would be
able to leave the hospital shortly.
