This industrial city has a daytime population of 35,000, its own police force, and its own courts for the settlement of internal disputes. It is the creation of one man, Builder Bush.

The Graduate School, non-existent in 1879, now enrolls 900 graduates from all parts of the world. The Graduate School of Business Administration, a creation entirely new, has nearly 900. The Graduate School of Education, also quite new, has 300. Almost any one of the graduate departments would make a college about as large as Harvard College was in our day. The College is still the heart of the University, but it no longer dominates...
