The students of such a university as this would Have the advantages of observation and’ experience in the departments of government and branches " thereof. / It would also offer opportunities for work- ers in the government departments and others to Be trained for the consular, diplomatic and other services. v The opening of such a university would immedi- ately necessitate the establishment of a department of education with the head of the department.a o member of the president’s cabinet.
