Will Be Removed to Hilltop
by October, 1882.

ARRANGEMENTS for the removal OF the
School Of Foreign Service of George
town University from its present loca-
ton, occupied for IL years at sixth
and E streets, to newer and more COM
modious quarters on the university
campus, Thirty and 0 streets,
were announced today by DR.. w. Cole
man NevilS S. j., president OF George
town.
These plans are in furtherance, he
said of the policy of eventually CEN
tering all the university activities at
! the Hilltop. The policy was inaugu-
rated two years ago by establishing on
Reservoir road the new medical and
dental departments. Removal of the
Foreign Service School would leave
only the law department in the down.
town section.
The first step in this latest program
of reorganization involves the transfer
of the graduate department in foreign
service to the Healy Building, the
largest class hall at the college. This
will be dene Immediately, DR.. Nevis
announced. so that the change might
become effective when the academic
year reopenS in october.
Expect Transfer by 1892.
For the time being the undergraduate
department will continue to be con-
Quoted in the downtown building.
Later, the president said, it is planned
to transfer all the undergraduates to
new and separate quarters in an appro-
pirate building forming unit of the
quadrangle now being developed on the
campus. This transfer Is expected to
be completed in October, 1882" he said
so that the complete reorganization of
the School of Foreign Service and its
entrance on a wider sphere Of activity
will be accomplished before the close
of the Washington Eicentennial year."
The Healy Building, combined dor
mitory and class hall, has been desig-
mated as the eventual center of all
graduate work for the entire univer-
sity. Erection of Copley Hall during
the past year as the first unit of the
new quadrangle has made this possible
through additional dormitory facilities.
The new arrangements for the vari-
Gus graduate departments and the
School of Foreign Service are being
pressed at this time, DR.. Nevis ex-
planned, as a suitable contribution by
Georgetown to the Nationwide prep
arations for the Bicentennial of the
Birth OF George Washington.
Wealth Of Historical Data.
One Of the chief reasons for the
transfer of all graduate work to the
Hilltop, DR.. Nevis explained, is on ac-
count Of the wealth of historical data,
documents, early Americana, Colonial
records and ether prime sources of the
political history of the United States
preserved in the archives, libraries and
museums of the university. The
archives contain also a rare collection
OF Washington documents and sigma
lures. These are now being assembled
in connection with the Bicentennial.
The founder Of Georgetown, John Car
roll, was a friend of washington and
was named with his cousin, Charles
Carroll, Benjamin Franklin and Samuel
Chase as the first diplomatic mission
sent out by the new Congress in 1876
There are also records of Washington's
first visit to the institution in George
town.
The transfer Of the school also will
permit a further development of the
late afternoon and evening courses.
THE presence in Washington of
large group of well qualified and serious
minded students of more advanced
age who cannot devote their full time
to academic work has always merited
the special consideration of the author
tiles of Georgetown University" DR..
Nevis said
The wider scope of activity in the
new building, he explained would also
permit the school to proceed to the
execution of its plans for the forma-
ton OF Georgetown Institute of In
tenational Relations and the publica-
ton OF Foreign Service Review.
