title of dean of the graduate school,
together with un appropriation of $2.
600 to be used in studying graduate
systems of Instruction In various uni
versities. leun West went to Europe
for a year, returned and published a
sumptuous little volume containing an
elaliorate and highly Illustrated scheme
for a graduate college. It was never
seen by the faculty. The hook was
sent by Dean West to likely contrib
utors among the alumni.
In December of lOOti Mrs: J. A.
Thompson Swann. dying, left $250,000
for the beginning of a graduate college.
Among the conditions of the gift was
the provision that the new college
should be located upon grounds of the
university.
In the spring of 1900, through the in
fluence of Dean West. Mr. William C
Proctor of Cincinnati offered $500.00(1
for the graduate college on condition
that mother half million dollars he
raised. Mr. Proctor's letter seemed to
imply that the money must be used in
carrying out the scheme formulated by
Deun West. It also condemned the site
chosen for the graduate college by the
trustees. In bis second letter address
ed to President Wilson Mr. Proctoi
tiniued two locations which alone would
be acceptable to him.
So loug as Dean West's scheme fot
a graduate school was a paper plan
only, it had received no special ezami
nation. But when these two bequestt
made Its realization possible the plan
was given scrutiny. It was apparent
to many of the trustees and faculty
that Dean West's elaborate plan was
not one to which they were prepared
to commit themselves definitely. A
special committee of five, appointed by
the president of the board of trustees
reported against the unconditional ac
ceptnnce of Mr. Proctor's gift.
Mr. Proctor's answer was a with
draw a I of his offer.
The withdrawal naturally mused
sensation aud brought down upon till
head of President Wilson all the vial;
of wrath that had not been already
emptied upon him. It was inconceiv

to a Ian number tif the alumni and U

the majority of the trustees, the pas
sinuate outcry against them showu by
some PrlT wt OH la of general repute
for Intelligence aud conscience doe:
seem Inexplicable. It was a perfectly
clear case. President Wilson and tin
trustees were no doubt inliuitely oblig
ed to Mr. Proctor; they were eager t
accept his gift, but they simply i-onlc

Furthermore, the particular plat

President Wilson had his ow n plan foi

The fact of the mutter Is he didn't
want a hundred nice youug gentlemen

their essential soundness. They were
caught in the toils of a vicious sys
tem, but they furnished the best of
msterlnl for the development of a true
American university along democratic
Hues. Throughout the graduate school
controversy they were ardent Wilson
men. though, of course, powerless to
Influence the result.
Mr. Wilson never permitted himself
to approach or suggest personalities

ARTESIAN WELLS
4st as great caverns or reservoirs,
deep dow.i In the earth, which If
tapped by the drill furnish the tre
mendous flows of water which char
acterize seine cf our largest artesian
w Ms -several hundred thousand, and
even in some cases half a nullum
gallons a day. It is true that artes
ian waters are stored up in under
ground reservoirs, but they arc not
of this character. Most artesian wa
ter supplies oorvist simply of water
filled strata of sandstone or other
porous ro-k material, thiouuh wh'eh
the wa'er very .slowly percolates, cot-
fined from above and below by other
strata of Impervious rock or clay.
Through this inclosed layer of por
ous rock the water works its way
with Infinite slowness, following the
dip or slant of the rock, and where
tapped coming to the .surface, if the
surface at this point be below the
source of the supply. Coarse sand
stone Is capable of holding a great
quantity of water, as much as six
quarts per cubic foot: but the rate of
its movement through this rock Is so
slaw as to be almost inappreciable.
To Illustrate how slowly the water
travels: Many artesian, or flowing
wells, are found along the Potomac
river at Colonial Heoch and other
points in Virginia, about 60 miles
south of Washington. This water Is
obtained by drilling Into a sandstone
formation whlh extends along the Po
tomac Valley and Into Maryland and
outrops near Frederick. Maryland,
some 50 miles north of Washington.
It takes about 100 years for the wa
ter of this "subterranean river" tj
flow that distance; that is, the
rains falling upon the exposed por
tions of the porous rocks near Fred
erick sink in and move southward at
the rate of about one mile a year.
The water issuing from t he wells at
Colonial Beach today fell as rain on

to work it must be fed. During the non-growing
seasons certain chemical changes take place
which make the fertility in the soil available
for next season's crop. But this process adds
no plant food t the soil. Unless plant food is

and sizes. There are low machines which are
not too low, but can be used in mud and deep
snow, or in sloppy barnyards. They are made
with either endless or reverse aprons. Frames
are made of steel, braced and trussed like a steel

to machines of large capacity. The rear axle
is placed well under the box, where it carries
over 70 percent of the load, insuring plenty of
tractive power. Beaters are of large diameter
