CORNER STONE 70 BE LAID WEDNESDAY Program of Exercises Arranged for the Significant Occasion. SOME INTERESTING HISTORY ——_.—_— .. Next Wednesday afternoon the corner stone of the hall of history of the Ameri- can University will be laid with ceremony appropriate to the significance of the event. Arrangements for the ceremonies were not completed until this morning, when the vice chancellor of the university, Rev. Samuel L. Beller, Ph, D., gave out the offi- cial program, as follows: Presiding officer, Mr. John E. Andrews of New York, presi- dent of the board of trustees; singing, “America,” led by C. Burlew and Dr. Gib- son; responsive reading of the 33d Psalm, led by the Rev. Randolph H. McKim, D.D., rector of Epiphany P. E. Church; hymn, read by Rev. Samuel L.

C. McCabe of Fort Worth, Tex. The President Not to Be There. President Cleveland had been invited toe lay the corner stone, but sent his regrets, stating that he had already accepted an in- vitation to be present at Princeton Wednes- day and Thursday. Mr. Wm. M. Poindexter, the architect, has the corner stone now ready fcr use. It is of granite, weighing five and a half tons, and its dimensions are 5x5x3 feet. A small receptable has been carved out of it, in which will be placed a copper box containing the usual coins, documents and papers. The laying of the corner stone will be according to the ritual of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and will be performed by the senior bishop of the church, Bishop Thomas Bowman, D. D. Concluding exercises by the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the District of Columbia according to their impressive rites. ‘The Board of Trustees. The laying of the corner stone will be preceded tomorrow by a meeting of the board’ of trustees af the Arlington Hotel, which will be followed by a lunch. The board of trustees contains representatives of the Methodist,Baptist, Presbyterian, Protestant Episcopal and Corgregational churches. The chancellor is Bishop John F. Hurst. The vice chancellor is Rev. Dr. Samuel L. Beiler, and the registrar is the Rev. Dr. Albert Osborn. The other members of the board are: Bishop Thomas Bowman, St. Louis; J. M. Buckley, D. D., New York city, Michael Burnham, D.D., St. Louis; Julian 8. Carr, Durham, N. 3 J. A. M. Chapman, D. D., Philadelphia; Bishop C. H. Fowler, Buffalo; H. N.

The hail of history will te the first of the group. of university buildings to be erected and will be a strikingly beautiful struc- ture of Ionic. architecture, built of pure white marble. It will occupy one of the highest emimences in the vicinity of Wash- ington and present au imposing sppearance from all dircctions. Other Structures to Be Erected. In addition to the hall of history six other buildings have been arranged for, and among these will be the administration group containing the administration hall, the library and the chapel. The first of these six buildings is the hall of science, wherein will be studied mathematics,chem- istry, physics and biology. In the hall of philosophy will be pursued the study of metaphysics, philosophy, archaeology, the- ism, preparative religion, psychology, logic, ethics, sociology, economics and civics. Then there will be the hall of law, the hall of history for American, European, Medi- terranean and oriental history, the hall of languages and literature, for oriental and Semitic, Greek, Latin, Germanic and En- glish languages, and the hall of medicine. The American University is planned as a post-graduate institution, so as to obviate the necessity of attending foreign universi- ties for higher education. So far money has been raised only in sufficient amount to erect and endow the hall of history and the hall of languages. The latter building is the gift of General J. Watts de Peyster of Tivoli, N. ¥., ani it is expected that work will commence on this building within the next six months. When the halle of history and languages are completed the university will be open- ed for students. It is nct believed, how- ever, that this event will occur before the fali of 1898. When it does only those will be permitted to matriculate who have ob- tained degrees from other institutions or desire to pursue advanced courses of study. Generous Donati: te the Fand. Gen. de Peyster is a member of the old de Peyster family of New York, and is a jJearned man. In addition he has made a gitt of a bronze statue of heroic size now being made in Paris. It will be placed in frent of the building which is to bear his name. A lady in New York, whose name has rever been made public, a couple of years ago presented the trustees with $100,- 000 in valuable interest-bearing securities, which sum has been made the basis of the erdowment of the hall of history. Another very important gift is that of Dr. John Peet of Greenville, Pa. He is one of the most expert makers of telescopes in the world, and is completing one for the uni- versity which will be the largest of its kind ever made. It will have a diameter of ten feet, a length of 60 feet and will weigh nearly 100 tons. Hart A. y of Toronto, Canada, who died last February, left $50,000 to the university; the late Ed- win C. Weeks of New York city has left © bequest of $250,000; Willard Ives of Wa- tertown, N. Y., gave valuable real estate to the Institution. There are many smaller gifts, but for the most part these who have given to the university have not allowed their names to go befcre the public. Asbury Hell will bs erected from a furd which is now reaciing large proportions through contributions from the ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church. It is to be a meniorial of Francis Asbury, the first bishop of the Methodist Church. A fund has been started for each building and some of them have grown so that the au- thorities expect to see every projected building tr. operation within the next ten years.
