that bo diBOUEHod this plan with JofTor
Bun, Madison, Franklin and othor
thoughtful mon of t hut day. It ifl a
constant surprise to find how brondly
they planned moro than ono hundred
yearn ago the foundations of tbo uni
vorsity. Washington, in writing to Ed
ward Randolph Decomber 15, 17!) I,
HBkcd Randolph's iiBsietunco and that of
Madison's in maturing measures relat
ing to the ondowmont of u national uni
versity. Jefferson, on February 2.'J, 1G95,
in a letter, encouraged and applauded
Washington's wish. Samuel Dlodgott,
author of tho first formnl work on Amer
ican political economy, witb an ourncBt
supporter of tho plan. Washington
said : " The enterprise must not bo for
gotten, and I trust I have not omitted
to take such measures as will at ull
events secure tbo objoct in timo."
In tho noxt group or groat minds wo
find John Quincy AdnmB championing
this wish of Washington's. Ho said :
" In surveying tho city honored by his
name, he would now eeo tho spot on
oarth ho had destined and bequeathed to
tho use and benefit of his country, as a
sito for a university, still bare and bar
ren." So, through tho years since tho
reading of Washington's will, bo mo
thoughtful mind has romombnred, and
mado others remember, this legacy loft
by tho Father of hiB Country.
Twolvo years ago, a group of scholars,
called the Committee of Ono Hundred,
led by Chief Justice Fuller, organized
fur active work. Over a year ago, this
Cummitteo placed the movement in the
hands of Mra. Ellen Richardson, of Bos
ton, who has organizod forty four states
and received into the treasury a goodly
sum for tho work. Thip unanimous re
sponse shows thut in the nation's heart
tbo university is already erected, and
that a reality ot brick and stone will
soon follow. An impetus was givon to
the work last fall, by a visit from Mrs.
Richardson to several of the states. Af
ter meeting Mrs. Richardson and listen
ing to her plea, ono can readily see why
she was chosen for tbo work. Her raro
combination of oxecutivo ability, wo
manly tact, sjft voice, and gentle man
ner won her friends wherever Bho went.
Her plan Is to organize a memorial asso
ciation in every county, if possible, and

DON'T SEND MY BOY WHERE
YOUR GIRL CAN'T GO,
Don't send my boy where your girl can't go,
And say, "There's no danger for boys,
you know,
Because they have their wild oats to sow."
There is no more excuse for my boy to
be low
Than your girl. Then please do not teach
him so
This world old lie is a boy's worst foe
To hell or the kingdom they each must go.
Don't send my boy where your girl can't go.
For a boy or a girl sin is sin, you know
And my baby boy's hands are as clean
and white,
And his heart is as pure as your girl's
tonight.
That which sends a girl to the pits of hell
Will send the soul of my boy there as well.
