Stokex Urge Endowment. A letter was today received from Dr. Anson Phel former sec- retary of Yale v, emphasiz ing the importance of raising the building and endowment fund. Two Years ago Dr. Stokes made an exhaus- tive study of the higher educational situation in Washington. His letter follows, in part: “It has long semed to me a na- tional humiliation that we did not have at the Capital of the Natfon an undenominational institution of high- eor learning adequately equipped and endowed. I do not overlook the ex- cellent work being done in their re- spective fields by exisiting {nstitu- tions under the control of various churches, but I feel that there is a need of a university which will have; no connection with anv one relig- ious body, and which will be broad er in its scope, constituency, control and resources than any which has heretofore existed. “Two years ako, shorty after I re tired from my position at Yale Uni versity, I made a survey of the high. er educational situation in Washing: ton and was convinced, as the re- sult of the investigation then made that George Washington University ‘was the only institution which had the charter, board of trustees, and local interest to provide a satisfac- tory nucleus for a great independent university really national in scope, and laying speclal emphasis on ad- vanced work in economics, law and the other social sciences, as well as those physical and natural sciences in which the government bureaus are specially strong, in addition to continuing its important educational work for government employes.” G.W. U. HEAD SPEAKS BEFORE ARTS CLUB President Lewis Outlines Plans of University to Broaden Cultural Force, . The Arts Club held a George Wash- ington University night last evening, when William Mather Lewis, presi- dent of the university, and Mrs. Lewis were guests of honor at a dinner at which Prof. and Mrs. Mitchell Car- roll were hosts. Following the din- ner members of the club and guests ‘were addressed by President Lewis on the subject of the university and its ‘humanities. . He said that the higher purpoge of the modern university is to make for better lives, to develop the ctltural spirit and to make men and women more capable of rendering valuable service to society rather than merely to gain greater profits. He indlcated the development of plans at George Washington for the adoption of oul- tural courses beyond those already established at that Institution and ex- pressed the hope that in the near future the enlarged equipment of the university would permit more valu- able vork along these lines, rof. Carroll in introducing Presi- dent Lewis called attention to the long career of George Washington Uni- wversity and declared ‘that the present chief executive of the institution had been “discovered” at the psycholog- ical time in view of the movement toward university expansoin. Prof. Paul Kaufman of the American Uni- versity followed President Lewis ‘with remarks upon the unity of pur- pose of the two institutions and the close relations that exist between them, — ALUMNI TO ACT.

UTILIIES QUESTION 10 BE CONSIDERED Deduction of Amounts in De- preciation Reserves Sub- ject for Hearing. A question of depreciation which may have an effect on the rates now {charged by the various public service companies in the District will be taken up at a hearing in the board room of the District building at 10:30 o'clock Monday, March 3, the Utilities Commission announced today. The question is: Should the amounts in the deprecia- tion reserves of the companies be deducted from the fair value in as- certdining the base upon which rates are to be fixed? In other words, if the commission should decide that a_company’'s de- preciation resérve should be sub. from the value, it would leave a lower value on which to fix rates to yield a reasonable return, Not New Issue. This is not a new issue in utility rate cases, but it is the first time the commission has called a public hear- ing for the purpose of settling It definitely. In many rate hearlngs in the past this point has been raised, but, be- cause the entire question of deprecia- tion rules was undetermined, the commission has never been able to take a definite stand on the matter. The commission, at its meeting yes terday afternoon, discussed the finan- cial condition of the street railway and electric light companles, as shown in the fisures for the year 1923, tc determine whether rate hear- ings' should be held at this time. it decided, however, to dispose of this issue of how the depreciation re- serve should be treated before going into rates. Ham Prepares Opposition. William ¥. Ham, president of the Washington Railway and Electric and the Potomac Electric Power companies, made it known today that he would op- pose any rule designed to deduct the depreclation fund from the fair value. “Under the law,” said Mr. Ham, company is entitled to a reasonable re. turn on the value of its property, and that value is riot affected by the method of bookkeeping.” BISHOP RANKS WILSON _ WITH LENIN OF KUSSIA Chancellor of Episcopal College at Geneva Names “Four Greatest Men of Century.” By the Associated Press.
