ARE PRIDE OF SWITZERLAND.
Small Cantons Support Many Schools
of Great Reputation.
Geneva is only one of the universi-
ties of little Switzerland, according to
Charles F. Thwing, in Harper's Maga-
zine. Basel, founded in 1640; Laus-
anne, founded as an academy in 1537,
and as a university in 18980; Zurich,
founded in 1832; Bern, founded In
1834; Freiburg, founded in 188%—have
each secured a high educational place,
though In its historic impressiveness
Geneva is unique. But Geneva and
her five companions are noble illus:
trations of the spirit and power of
democracy. Their support is derived
largely from the cantons in which
they are located.
Although the constitution of 1848
authorized the federal government to
erect and to maintain a polytechnic
school and university, the university
has not been established, The can-
tons support their universities with a
willingness which is as great as ob-
tains in the state of the American
union touching their respective state
universities. The University of Zu-
rich is maintained by a common-
wealth of only 50,000 people, and with
