York World, who baa provided the aum of $2,000,000 for the purpose of establish ing a school of Journalism at Columbia university. New York city. It Is the Idea of Mr. Pulitzer that Columbia shall conduct a school of Journalism which will bold toward tbe university a relation similar to that of other pro fessional schools as the Jaw school, the school of medicine and tbe school of mines and like them be national la . SCOpe. -, A , t ; i Mr, Pulitzer, outlining tbe purposes of his Rift, states that In tbe new " ' JOSEPH FTJUTZKB. L'-' school students purposing to enter up on the career of Journalism, will find accessible at Columbia courses of study that will for tbe profession of Journal . ism be equivalent to what other profes sional schools supply for other profes sions, while young men already -4t work on newspapers and desiring to advance themselves more rapidly by tbe cultivation ef their aptitudes may find In these courses a valuable assist- . ance. Mr. Pulitzer' believes that this course of Instruction will be an advan tage to students Immediately and to the press of the; whole country ulti mately. -. . i . : t .. An Important feature of the organi zation .of the school of journalism, .which will be the first Institution jof tbe kind to the world," will be an advisory board, to be nominated by the donor, This board will aid in devising a plan and course of instruction that, it is hoped will meet every requirement on the scholastic as well as the more prac tical side of the newspaper business. The trustees ''Of Columbia have al ready received $1,000,000 of the dona tion, and , tbe erection of a suituble building to t accommodate the a new '-school- will be begun at once. A site has been selected and it is hoped that the building may be pushed to comple tion so that Jt will be ready-for occu ' pancy -in the fall of. 1904. - The est! mated cost .of tbe building, fully equipped and furnished, will be about $500,000.- If at the end of three years the school of Journalism la in success ful operation Mr. Pulitzer will give to Columbia an additional $1,000,000, the Income of half of which will be de voted to the maintenance of the school, and the income of the remaining $500,- KICHOL18 MTKBAT BOXER.

Mr, Pulitzer bud found his true calling. .-" From reporter be rose to managing editor, chief editorial writer and part owner. He also took an interest In politics and went to the state legisla ture. He Joined the Greeley movement and v worked so unceasingly in that cause that his health broke down and he was compelled to take a long Jour ney to Europe. Coming back to Amer lea, he bought the St. Louis Dispatch and united it with the Evening Post under the title of the Post-Dispatch There was a great rattling of dry bones, the Post-Dispatch became a trium ptannt success and Mr. Pulitzer had a national reputation as a Journalist. On May 10, 1883. he boucht the New York World, then In a moribund eondi tion. from Jay Gould. In six years it had become one of the most successful newspapers In the world. When the World building was erected It was the best equipped newspaper office in tbe country, Mr. Pulitzer spent $1,900,000 for the site, building and equipment every dollar paid from the earnings of the paper. He bad won the battle In New York, but gave his sight and health for victory. . Since 3887 he bas worked under the disadvantage of almost total blindness and of a condition of nervous prostra tion that would prevent any man with less, determination from accomplishing anything. Just before the collapse of bis eyesight and bis nervous system be was elected to congress from New York city, But be could not endure tbe enor mous addition to the strain which bis personal appearance in political life meant to a man of his characteristics, and he resigned. Since' then he bas lived in partial retirement, though still directing bis great enterprise. Mr. Pu litzer Is worth a fortune aside from bis newspaper properties. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia college, who will bare much SAMUEL JOHNSOJI Columbia's first president. to do wtth the launching of the school of Journalism, succeeded Seth Low as bend of the uulvei-sity less than two years ago. ?.. He is one of the most widely known and competent American educa tors, and, although only In bis forty-second year, he had decllued.no less than fourteen offers to become the bead of institutions of learning before accept ing his present position. ' v O President Butler was graduated from Columbia in 18S2 and for sixteen years has been a member of the university faculty. At tbe time of bis elevation to the presidency of Columbia : he was dean of the faculty and head of the de partment of education and philosophy . Columbia university, which because of Mr; rulitzcr's glft;wlll be the first institution of learning to establish a achool of Journalism,,, was originally called king's college and was chartered by George- IL In 1754. ' Jd 1784 it took the name Columbia college,. Its first president And for a time Its only in structor was Samuel Johnson.' Since that time, eleven men have been regu larly elected president, and two others have temporarily held the office. , Since its organization Columbia has twice changed its location and jxow oc cupies a fine site of over seventeen acres on Mornlngside heights. - New York city. The buildings surmount an elevation overlooking the Hudson river, but a short distance from the tomb of General Grant , . ' . , In 1S90-91 the college was organized on the basis of a university, and its segregated parts were mode Into a ho mogeneous whole. Each school Is as to its specific work in charjre of its cwn faculty, with a dean at ft bend, while all the university work and the educa tional Interests of the college at larg are committed to a university council consisting of the president, the deans of the gevrrol schools and a deleg.it from ear-h facultv. t - - ( In ISM the lS!ir:a-ies of tbe vario'.i schnols were rom-ei trni-nl into one gen- c r- 1 vo':: Vfi FT. : i n 1 - ,-, .,l WW a . fni!r:ti-es-32S.(l Ki -is jit the nt t - y. i r'y. .

' - Clubman' Good Imagination "I saw t remarkable Instance ot tbe influence of miud and imagination over tbe senses a few evenings ago," said a clubman the other night. "A bowl ing match was in prepress, and tbe team on whose alleys the game was being rolled, as the hosts of the occa sion, bud provided some extra good cigars for tbe visiting team half a dollar apiece. One of the fellows took a cigur, looked at the band on it and then, realizing what a delicious smoke be had In store, began to indulge in the delights of anticipation. He put the cigar In bis mouth, but did not light it at once. Presently bis turn came to bowl. He took tbe cigar from his mouth and placed it on the window ledge. "While he was occupied with his bowling one of the boys replaced his cigar by a 'five center,' taking off the band from the good cigar and putting It on the cheap one. Meanwhile tbe bowler, having finished his trials, turn ed with great guato to light his cigar. The first few puffs brought forth sev eral 'AhsT.of delight, "'Fine smoke, boys, dellciousf he ex claimed. 'I tell you, I haven't had as good a smoke for I don't know how long. Ah! I wish 1 could afford to smoke cigars like this ail the time. I certainly can tell the difference be tween a poor, cheap cigar and a good one. I'd rather smoke a Porto Rican cignr- than the five cent domestic ones In fact, I can t stantl 'em make me sick, you know, in no time at all. But a cl.srar like this well, sny!" "When he had rmoked It down till it burned bis lips the boys told him the facts of the case. " 'I guess the cigars are on me,' he remarked sadly, but not fifty cent ones, You've taught me a good lesson. Let's strike a happy medium and say two for a quarter. They're good enough for anybody.'
