 The institution will be thoroughly distinctive both as to its faculty, its curriculum. it's method of teaching and its student body. The subjects which will he taught will be those in which Mir. Wilson was most interest ed: Government. history, economies, international relations and cognate subjects as backbone. with such other subjects as are necessary to make a well-rounded education. but always with the subjects broadly chased as the "humanities" taking the forefront. Languages will be taught not as mental calesthenics. but as means of getting first hand at the literature of the world. Sciences will be taught from the standpoint of their history and general understanding of them rather than in an attempt to make scientists of the students. There will be no attempt 10 emulate the ex- pensive laboratory equipment of Ger man scientific universities.
 Method of Instruction
 The method of instruction will be preceptorial, following closely the methods followed at Cambridge and Oxford; that is to say, an attempt will be made to give the student a broad general knowledge of his sub ject by lectures. explanations, reading and so forth.
 Usually four years will be required for a student to finish the course of instruction provided. However, in the case of any student who can finish his course efficiently in a shorter time, every effort will be made to enable hin, to do so.
 Initially the student body will not be large. Nor is there any intention on the part of any one connected with the institution to vie with the larger universities and colleges in the mat ter of the numerical strength of It's student body. Approximately 200 stu dent will be the limit under the pres- ent plans. These 200, however, will be elected and each will be required to pass suitable mental tests, in addi- ton to giving satisfactory evidences of preparation and high character.
 Faculty members will be chosen. after their scholarly qualifications have been considered. for their knowl- edge of any agreement with the prin- ciples of Woodrow Wilson and their
