ASSERTS NEED OF
U. S. UNIVERSITIES
Many Reasons Why College Should Be
Established In Washington—Its Soope
and Effect Upon National Affairs.
Both Government and People Would
Benefit by Its Influenoe.
New York.—Several bills are now be
fore congress providing for tbe estab
lishment of a national university. Tbe
National Association of State Universi
ties has for many years urged such a
measure, but there has been little gen
eral discussion of tbe project. This
seeming lack of popular Interest Is
due, according to those most closely
Identified with tbe movement, to tbe
fact that there has been no definite
concrete statement of what a national
university means nor of its scope and
Its effect upon national affairs.
Chancellor Elmer Ellsworth Brown,
of New York university, formerly com
missioner of education at Washington,
one of the foremost exponents of the
project, said:
“X believe tbe time has come when
there should be a general agitation

gr.ltmt KLLSWOBTB BBOWH.
for tbe establishment of a national uni
versity—not a nebulous. Inchoate, in
tangible federation of our state univer
sities and not even this combined with
tbe various scientific bureaus of our
government, but an actual, physical
entity. We should have lands and
buildings, a board of government, a
strong teaching force, classrooms and
students and a fund sufficient to main
tain the highest kind of research.
“Tbe economic demand for such a
university is obvious and the field for
Its operations no less apparent The
great growth in usefulness of our state
universities and the very trend of the
growth of our private universities show
It Not so many years ago our private
foundations were the Intellectual homes
of scholars, either in embryo or fully
developed. They taught the three pro
fessions—ministry, law and medicine—
and acknowledged no other callings or
lines of work as entitled to that name.
“Today they have developed from
scholastic Institutions Into educational
institutions and have created a num
ber of professions. For I hold that any
field In which scientific knowledge Is
applied to the public welfare is a pro
fession. Instead of treating only with
books they treat with facts, applying
the results of scientific research to
every phase of economics, finance,
commerce and Industry, indeed, 1 do
not call to mind any phase of our in
dustrial life which they do not touch.
"The idea of a national university is
not new. It was strongly advocated
by Washington, who' bequeathed cer
tain shares of stock as a nucleus for its
endowment. Our governmental organ
ization Is and has been for many years
working toward that result We have
no Isolated bureaus, nor could have as
a national proposition. Tbe reports on
the observations and Investigations of
the different stations established by tbe
government all over the United States
are concentrated at Washington, each
In the bureau which has Jurisdiction
over It Tbe result is that all the In
formation gathered by Isolated stations
of any one tic, '.11116111 baa a place of
concentration where the whole of the
findings can he compared and the net
result or conclusion arrived at.
"But without co-ordinating this Infor
mation with economic conditions In
other fields no adequate diagnosis of a
condition of error cod be made and no
prescription for Its correction can be
written. Since It Is Impossible. In these
lays of Interstate commerce and even
of International commerce, for any
community to live a life of Isolation,
since the lines of one Industry touch
and affect so many others. It must be
apparent that there Is great and press
ing need for a central Institution.
“But not only results of the activities
of government departments should find
such centralization. Here also should
come the findings of state and private
nnlverslties, both In this country and
abroad, on any and every subject af
fecting our national life.”
