President Hibben of Princeton University in his annual report to the Board of Trustees, advocates making Princeton a "National University." Under the head of "Princeton National University' he proposes important changes to submerge the "tendencies toward sectionalism and separation in education," which he feels are too prevalent in American colleges. Although about 80 percent of Princeton's students come from states other than New Jersey, President Hibben believes the enrolment should be more representative of the entire nation. To this end he plans countrywide competitive scholarships which will also provide for the increased traveling expenses for those coming from distant parts of the country.

It is President Hibben's opinion that. "In a National University the students should be much concerned with the nation's problems, the nation's needs, conversant with the history of the past with the possibilities and the dangers of the future as well, grounded in the knowledge of those forces which tend to conserve and those forces which tend to destroy its source of power. A National University is not only a protest but a safeguard against educational sectionalism and separation."
