s 10 STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1928. THE EVENING HARVARDCROLP SYSTEM ENDOWED $3,000,000 Given Anony- mously to Establish Small | Colleges. By the Assoclated Press. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., November 9.— A $3,000,000 fund, given to Harvard anonymously, is expected to make possi- ble the establishment of a number of small colleges within the university | resembling the colleges of Oxford and | Cambridge. The fund will be used to build and endow a group of dormitories, dining halls and common rooms to accommo- date from 200 to 300 students. Eventually it is hoped to change the existing system into a collection of con- venient-sized colleges, each of which would be a separate educational as well as_social unit. Under this plan Harvard College would be only the name given to this collection. The college would, however, award degrees and conduct uniform examinations. In making public the gift President Lowell said: “For a generation there has been much discussion of the policy of break- ing up our large colleges into smaller social units in order to secure at the same time the advantages of the large and small institutions. Many men here have felt that this must come if we were to confer the greatest benefit upon our undergraduates. | “The present plan involves no change in the method of teaching, and, in fact, our tutorial system lends itself to it perfectly.” President Lowell emphasized that the Oxford and Cambridge plans were not being imitated, but rather adapted to American needs.

NEW YORK, November 9.—Clara Jacobo, once & mill worker in Lawrence, Mass., stepped up last night into that golden world toward which she had struggled for nearly 15 years—the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House. She made her debut in “Il Trovatore,” whose tuneful arias she could sing at an age when most children are learn- sung with Giovanni Martinelli the old familiar “Miserere”—which she used to sing all by herself as a child, both so- prano and tenor—there could be no doubt in the minds of her old friends from Lawrence that she was a success. From ,an inconspicuous seat in the gallery, a sturdy little old man, with drooping gray mustaches, listened in- tently to every note uttered by the new dramatic soprano of the Metrosolitan Opera Company. Later he went back stage, "%’apn!" shouted a chorus of Italian voices, and he was dragged up to a 5 \ Eye Care Under Changing Conditions One iota of change in the organism of the eye requires countless ages.

Angelo Jacobo, born in Naples, once a grocer in Lawrence and now a comber in a woolen mill, forgot then all the English he had ever known. He could speak only Italian—and not much of that. Dr. N. F. De Cesare, childhood friend of Clara Jacobo, who had come from Lawrence in a delegation headed by Mayor and Mrs. Michael A. Landers, tried to explain how he feit. “He took that seat away up in the gallery,” Dr. De Cesare said, “because he was afraid he might get emotional and he didn't want to disturb those around him, In the gallery, he thought, it might not matter so much. “You see, Clara’s mother—who be- lieved in her long before he did and persuaded nim finally to let her zo to Italy to study—died only a short time after Clara went away. And tonight he's heartbroken because the can’t be here. “When once he made up his mind to help Clara become a great singer, Mr. Jacobo went all the way, ull right. He’s been a wonderful father to her and to all his children,” ST e The largest diamond mine in the world is at Kimberly, South Africa.
