Few educational institutions have a more interesting history than National University. Its origin may be traced to the suggestion by Pres dent Washington in his eighth annual message to Congress, directing the at tention of that body to the advisa- bility of establishing at the seat of the Government a national uni- versity which would provide for the ssimilation of the principles, opin ions and manners of our countrymen by the common education of a portion of our youth from every quarter. It was not until 1869 tha Wedgewood and a number of assici- ates endeavored to realize the hopes fot establishing such an institution of learning as Washington visualized. Incorporated under the general incor- poration law of the District of Colum- bia, National University came into being. Later, the Congress of the United States by a special act granted a broad charter for the institution to! Arthur McArthur, Richard = Alvey Charles €.
