Tho National Association of Stato
Unlvorsltles at a .meeting hold ro
contly in Washington, adoptod a roc
ommondation mado by a Joint com
mlttoo of tho association and of tho
National Educational Association
that a national unlvorBlty bo estab
lished by act of congrosd In tho
District of tColumbla.to bo support
ed by tho goyornmont' and to sorvo
ogos maintained by tho statos. This
action will load to tho bringing be
foro tho presont Congress a bill em
bodying this rccommondatlon.
Tho Mowing argumonts aro ad
vanced In favor of tho ostabllshmont
of a national unlvorslty:
l.fSuch a unlvorslty Is noodod to
comploto and to crown tho education
al system of tho United Statos,
2. Such a university is noodod' to
supplement tho rosources of oxistlng
Institutions and to offer opportunities
for moro advanced Investigation, and
rosoarch than aro now offorod by tho
unlvorsltles of tho country.
3. Such a unlvorslty was urgod by
Washington, and has boon urged by
many omlnont statosmon slnco tho
deslrablo and necessary.
4. A national university Is neded In
ordor to co-ordlnato tho scientific
fwnrlr nnw hnlntr rarrlnrt on In thn
sovoral govornmont dopartmdnts at
Washington, and to put that work at
,tho disposal of advanced and ado

qualoly trained studonts. '
It is woll understood that thoso con
nected with prlvato educational Insti
tutions wll) do all in their power to
opposo tho establishing of such a
unlvorslty. In 1001' a commlttoo ap
pointed by tho" National Educational
association brought boforo that body
at a mooting in Detroit a report
which was unfavorable to a national
university. Only qlevon, men of tho
,committo of fourteen signed tho 're
port Of 'thoso olovpn, sovon wero
'presidents of, or connected In some
way with prlvato institutions.
President James B. Angoll of Michi
gan, who was on this same, committee,
refused to sign'thd report because it
was not in accordancerwJth his views.
Previous to this Detroit meeting ho
had writton an article "which present
ed tho probablo attltudo of. the prin
cipal universities of tho country to
ward tho project to establish a na
tional university.
