THE PROGRESS OF SCIENCE 



TWO GREAT UNIVERSITY 

 PRESIDENTS 

 The development of the American 

 university during the last quarter of 

 the nineteenth century is perhaps the 

 most important chapter in our recent 

 history. In this remarkable movement 

 two institutions have led, and their 

 prominence is personified in two great 



educational leaders, President Eliot, of 

 Harvard, and President Gilman, of the 

 Johns Hopkins. The oldest of our uni- 

 versities, with its high traditions, its 

 faculty of eminent scholars and its 

 alumni throughout the country, and 

 the youngest of our universities, unen- 

 tangled by precedents and engagements, 

 free to plan its work and choose its 



President Chari.es W. Eliot.
