Abstract
THE recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in favour of Mrs. Stamford, and adverse to the Government in its claim for 13,000,000 dollars, means the salvation of the Leland Stamford Junior University, at Palo Alto, California; as Mrs. Stamford will now be able to carry out the munificent plan of endowment, which has been held in abeyance pending the issue of this litigation. The Johns Hopkins University at Baltimore, on the contrary, is seriously crippled by the collapse of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad system, which has just been put into the hands of a receiver. The University held a large amount of the securities of this line.
