A University for Texas | Nature

ABSTRACT THE Rev. W. H. Sent has been for some time past in Europe, with letters from the late President of the United States, the Governor of Texas, and other distinguished Americans, as

the agent of the Soule University and the Chappell Hill Female College, two literary institutions located at Chappell Hill, Washington county, in the State of Texas. His aim is so to enlarge

and furnish them, especially the University, which has a medical department in Galveston, as to develop a great and permanent centre of learning and science. Consider ing the vastness and

the resources of Texas, its position as bordering on semi-civilised regions beyond, the rapid increase of its population, which includes a large European element, and its growing commercial

relations with Europe, especially with this country, such an enterprise as this must commend itself as one of great importance, and of general interest. Access through your institution Buy
