Explains Idea.
Explaining his concept Of a
university CITY," DR.. Marvin said
the area he outlined is unde-
veloped. He said the university
city could include buildings of
foreign nations, with dormitories,
meeting places and libraries.
'"They should be maintained as
educational centers by the nations
building them." he said. This
city, In our Nations Capital,
| should be as a part Of the uni
versity, a place of training leaders
in national affairs and common
understanding Of world problems.
