...signified his intention to found and endow a university in this city, which ambitious scheme shall not fall behind Yale or Harvard. It has been hinted about town for several weeks that Mr. Clark had in contemplation some great gift for the city, but the public did not learn what it really is until to-day, when a petition was filed in the legislature, asking for a special act of incorporation for the Clark University.
