one important exception ; the state universities and many of the 

 endowed institutions give no direct training for the ministry. For 

 law, medicine, teaching, engineering of all sorts, mining, agricul- 

 ture, manufacturing, the mechanic arts, and business, the Ameri- 

 can universities, so far as they discern the needs of the country, 

 make the amplest provision w^hich their resources permit. Several 

 of them have lately added architecture to the list of their profes- 

 sional subjects. The training of professional musicians in a large 

 sense has been taken up by a few universities. As soon as for- 

 estry was recognized as a needed profession in the United States, 

 several universities began to provide instruction in that great sub- 

 ject. It is obviously the purpose of the American institutions of 

 learning to train young men for all intellectual callings, making 

 no distinction among them as regards their dignity and service- 

 ableness. * '■' " 



'Tt is obvious that the policy of the American universities now 

 under consideration has had, and is going to have, a strong effect 

 to uplift the relatively new professions, like those of engineering, 

 applied chemistry, architecture, music, mining, forestry, the pub- 

 lic service, transportation and large scale manufacturing. These 

 are highly intellectual occupations not yet universally recognized 

 as on a level with divinity, law and medicine. The American 

 universities will, in a few generations, put them all in their higher 

 grades absolutely on a level with the older callings." * "^ *
