Now America will have a “uni \ersiLy” comparable with the famous research colleges of Europe. ’Phis unuMial plan ol Johns Ilopkms is not a new idea, the se (iiicsiered monasteries of the Middle Ages accomplished an identi cal purpose.

A group of savants \crscd in theory but divorced from the busi ness and engineering woild.
