The frat aim of the govern- ment officials In charge of the erection of the institution was to make it "home-like," the U.S. Superintendent of Prisons, Mr. Bates, said on a recent visit here. The Governmont holds options on 1,500 acres between Lewisburg. and West Milton and is expected to devote 1,000 acres to the pri- "son" property." In addition to the buildings necessary, there was to be provision for a large farming tract, to give the prisoners em ployment and make the Institution La self-supporting as possible.
In carrying out the home-like atmosphere, the plans called for rooms for the confinement of the prisoners, replacing the cells used In other prisons. The stigma of prison life was to be removed as much as possible without relax. ing to dangerous extent the dis cipline necessary to prevent order.

The document is a Supplication, dated 1456, made by Jamos II. of Scotland to the Borgia Pope, Calixtus III, and in it the King, on behalf of the Rector and the Chan- cellor of the University of Glasgow, pleads that the administration of the University be freed from the supervision of its mother University of Bologna, and that it also be freed from the interference of its older sister University of St. Andrews.
Recalling the conditions of the foundation of Glasgow University by Pope Nicolas V. in 1451, the Supplication, written in medieval Latin and couched in the involved style required by the canon govern- ing auch petitions, complains that the distance between Glasgow and Bologna is too great to make com- munication practicable.
