The corner-stone of the new university building of the Columbian University, at the corner of 15th and H streets, was lald yesterday afternoon, the exercises being simple In character and without display. The building which row occuptes a por- tion of the proposed new building 1s sttll stand- ing, but a part of the corner had been removed, and upon a brick foundation was placed the massive red stone corner- stone. This was 5 fect 2 inches long, 2 feet 8 Inches wide and 10 feet deep. _In the cen- ter a cavity about six inches deep had been hol- lowed out and the stone cover was lifted by means of a rope and tackle. This stone was put in place by workmen under the direction o? Mr. Hutch- ins, and while they were completing their task the audience began to assemble. e members of the board of trustees and over- seers came over from the prepaartory school building in a body, preceded by the treasurer, Mr. R. C. Fox, who carried a small copper box, containing ‘the articles to- be deposited in the corner-stone. The members of the board from pHaltimore were Rey. Dr. Franklin Wilson, Rev. Dr. ‘J. W.M. Williams, Henry Taylor, Engene Lever- ing, James Pollard and George 0. Manning. ‘The members for this city present were Mr. W. W. Cor- coran, Major Powell, Co:m{ssioner Eaton, Messrs, Join 'T.

Welling, President Of the university, mounted the stone, and calling the assembiage to orde:” spoke as follows: We have met to-day to lay the cornerstone of a university edifice, and in the act of doing so 1 am reminded of what a great Roman poet has sald— that among human employments and enjoyments “there is nothing sweeter than to hold well guarded the serene temples which have been founded by the learning of the wise.” And this for other than the reasons cited by Lucretius, but especially for the reason that seats of learning, schools of philosophy, sciools of science and sen. inaries of religion have always and everywhere been so many focal points from which the be: light of civilization has emanated to the remot lands and ages. ‘The masters of the human race are not the military conquerors of the workd or the founders of political empire, but the men who have won new truth for their fellows, and the men who have organized the thought of humanity, not for a day, but for whole generations. The exploits of Alexander the Great have loug since been con- signed to the dust-bin of history, but that epic poem which he placed under his pillow by night Still survives to make the tale of Troy divine a land-mark of culture and a well-spring of intel- lectual inspiration. The shouts of battle and the shock of arms have died away from the fleld of Marathon, but the dialogues of Plato and the debates of the’Academy aro as fresh and vivid to-day as when teacher and pupil sat together under the green follage of the plane trees” The frescoes of Polygnotus have long since vanished from the Porch of Zeno, but the moral philosophy of Zeno Still lives in the’ history of speculation as. the highest scheme of moral conduct which the wit of man has ever been able to devise—the best preparatory schoo! of the Christian ethics. Indeed, So potent and so perennial 13 the office of thé teacher that when the Son of Man came among men as One that serveth, he could find no place of ervice higher than that of the teacher, and claimed for his followers no higher title than that of disciples, learning in the School of truth and rienteousnes ‘ae civilization of the world makes progress by the conservation of {ts intellectual and moral forves, and by the correlation of titose forces into hew forms of intellectual and moral enerzy. And hence tt 1s tobe observed that each stage in’ the onward morch of the human race has been marked by educational institutions, as by so many_mile- stones along the line of the great exodus of man from that ‘worst of all houses of bondage, the bondage of ignorance. The renaissance period of Etirope “expressed itself in the colleges and universities, which plant their roots in the long tract of the middie ages from the 12th to the 15th centuries, and 1f you revert to the history of college four draw the cr: ations in the land from which we les of our race you shall find that entation and stir of the minds of Britain during the reformation ana pre-reformation period, are to-day marked by no Monuments so enduring and significant as the great seats of learning which were then planted at Oxford and Cambridge. ‘The hoary piles and antique spires which there stand to mark the summit points of British learn- inz and culture did not drop from the skies, nor did tuey spring from the ground like exhalations under a summer sun. Then emerzence and the tunes of their emergence mark the presence of great agitation in the British mind, under the throes of which these great educational institu- tions were cast up, to be the sentinels of anew intellectual awakening and the guardians of a growing enlightenment. The very dates of these college foundations translate themselves into a philosophy of education and a history of culture in England, for it 1s of the very essence and function of ‘a great college that it should be at once the embodiment of the highest intellectual wants of man in each age of the world, and that it should at the same time provide for the growth of human knowledge by working on the bounda- Ties of science in every possible direction, so that great university should not only comprise within its curricula the encyclopedia of the best learning Of to-day, but should so pitch its standard of cul- ture that'men may forecast from it the tntellec- tual and moral destinies of tht coming generation, asin ancient Exypt men were able to gauge by the Nilometer not only the depth of the fertll- fzing Waters, but the prospect of the coming har- yest. Tell me what ts taught in your highest Schools, and I will tell you not only the temper of your times, but the drift of your tires. It is because the temper of our times has out- grown the trivium and quadrivium of the middle ages that we have the college and university course of to-day, bristling with a thousand prob- lems which Peter Lombard never dreamed of in his Sentences. It 1s because the drift of the times sets In the direction of physical science, and Decause human soctety, under the pressure of this drift, hag differentiated into a thousand profes- sions and walks which call for the training of the specialist and expert that colleges and universi- es in all parts of the civilized world are adding the sclentific school to thelr educational systems. The school of science is not ar arbitrary creation of college trustees. It is the outgrowth of human wants aud the sign-board of human tendencies. It 4s for this reason that the authorities of the Columbian University, in providing a new habitation for their college ana their law school, have bethought them to provide a training school in which, with retort and crucible, with scalpel and microscope and telescope, the student of sci- ence may learn to unlock the mysteries of nature. ‘This schooi will soon be here, and it will come to stay. The only question which remains for you to decide is whether thts school shall be part apd Parcel of the great scheme of universal culture, !n which alone It holds a fitting and logical place; or whether it shall be divorced from the humanities Of literature, philosophy, and religion, as taught im the academic departinent of our university. It ts precisely two years ago this day that the new departure here solemnized received its formal initiation. It was on the 38th of June, 1881, that a committee of the corporation, consisting’ of the Hey, Franklin Wilson, D.D. loware . ; Eugene Levering, esq.; Wm. F. Mattingly, esq., and the late Hon, Wm. Stickuey, reported ts the corporation that “the original design for which mainly the Columbian college was established in 1822, (viz., the education of the ministry,) can- not bé carried out here,” because elsewhere are better fitted for the rea- son for the existence of this university is the fact that such a vast educational apparatus has been ace ‘able objects.” ‘*Washington,” adds Tapidly becoming not only one of most beautiful cities in the unton, but an intellectual, as well as ‘@ political center, and an attractive home for ultimately looks to “the entire reconstruction of the schools of the university, so that we may offer | ney’s fees in the to the people of every class the privilege of high architecture. id ts paid fc with thee Deon oe S miorigage an for e exce’ of-$1 ‘whish we hope sume: Intend of educa tion, here or elsewhere, will gra from the "University’s ‘shoulders. “The. builaing ttt Will cost $75,000, and the money for this purpose is in the hands of the University treasurer. But one man among living men has thus far taken any Pecuniary stake in our great enterprise. That man, I need not say, 1s William W. Coreoran, the clarum et _ os in the = of our University. To the purchase beautiful site he has already contributed his tens of thousands of dollars with that generous liberality which has made him the benet of our city in a hundred different directions, and which has forever embalmed his name on the bede- Toll of the world’s philanthropists, All the rest, residue and remainder of our money comes to us as a legacy from “the gray forefathers” of the Co- lumbian University—from the proceeds of the last remnant of the land which they purchased sixty- ‘two years ago, and paid for out of the abundance of their poverty. @ dead hand of Rice, and Cone, and Reynolds, and Brown, is reaching out to us to-day, not like the mortmain of ecclesiasti- cal law, fastening its bony grip cn the benefices of Church and College, but scattering gifts of ‘old in our laps, and bidding us enter unto the fruits of their plous labors. Methinks their spirits are present with us at this time, when the old order of the Solters changeth, giving place to the new. In a famillar lyric of the German po:t, Uhiand, you remember that he sings of the pas— senger, who, in crossing a ferry, bethinks him of the two dead friends who sat’by his side when last he made that same Passage, and he bids the ferryman take triple fare—one for himself andtwo for the spirits twain who crossed over with him, though unseen of men. How much shall we drop into the hands of the ferrymian as our tribute to the spirits of the sainted dead who are this day hovering over our heads in the great tfansition epoch through which our University is pasing ? ARTICLES PLACKD IN THB CORNER-STONE. Upon the conclusion of the address Dr. Welling Tead the list of articles which had been placed in the box, after which it was deposited in the cor- ner-stone, First prospectus of the Columbia col- lege; prospectus of the college 1821 and 18%; an appeal of the trustees to the friends of religion and Science In 18%; a history of the Enosinian g0- clety, 1859; an historical statement in behalt of the collegé in 1867; annual historical catalogue, 1868; inaugural exercises and induction of the rosent président of the faculty, 1871; printed re- rt of President Welling, 1872; outline sketch of ne Columbian University, 1873; historical cata- logue of the officers and students of the Columbian University from 1820 to 1 rdinance and by- ws, 1827; laws of the college; annual catalogue the various branches of the university during 1882 to 1883; Washington Evenixa Star, June 2, containing a brief history of the Columbian col- lege; Congressional directory for 1883; programs of commencements in the various departments of the untversity for 1883; programs of the college commencements of 1845 and 1849, and _ copies of Tue Stan, the Republican apd Post. The exer- cises were then brought to a close with prayer, by Rey. Dr. Wilson, of Baltimore. THE BUILDING, Which was thus begun, and has been fully de- scribed in THE Star, will be one of the handsom- est ever erected in this city. It will have a front- age of 121 feet on 15th street, and 64 feet on H ‘street, with an L-shaped addition 40 feet wide, ex- tending the depth of the lot. It is to be four stories high, and will be of brick with courses of terra cotta. The cost of the building will be $75,000. —_—._—_. CLOSING SCHOOL DAYs, The Final Exercises in Several Grades of the Public Schools. ‘The closing exercises of the schools of the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh grades of the white pub- le schools and of the colored schools In the Ste- vens, Miner, John F. Cook, 4th and L streets bulldings were held to-day. The school rooms were thronged with visitors. The children were Gressed in holiday attire, and the profusion of ‘lowers about the school rooms quite transformed the appearance of these busy workshops from what the children are accustomed to when les- Sons are to be prepared and hard problems over- come. A visitor going from one such a scene to another in the magnificent school buildings, Which are scattered throughout the city, would carry away favorable impressions of a school sys- tem which, at the end of a year of study, found the children Sere ath life and vigor and enter- ing into the simple but propriate ‘ciosing exer- elses of the school year with hearty zest. JOINT RXERCISES, In nearly all the divisions the schools of each grade In one bullding united in rendering the pro- gram of the finalexercises. For instance, in the Franklin butlding the four schools of the fitth grade took possession of the large hall from 9 to 11 o'clock, and under the superviston of the teach- ers, Miss°s_'T. C. Roeser, Florence Pile, M, C, Kelly and Edith M. Pittis, presented % este ing program. ‘Then from 11 to 1 o’elock' the four schools of the sixth grade met together with their teachers, Misses A. H. Fuller, A. E. Speake, E. I. McKeon and N. McLean, and entertained a large audience of parents and friends with songs and recitations. In another room the three schools of the geventh grade held their closing exercises under the supervision of the teachers, Mr. E.G. Kimbal, Miss M. C. McGill, and Miss M.'8. Shields. The biog ram in all the schools consisted of rect- tations, dialogues, comppsitions, songs, solos, duets, and choruses.
