The New Student's Reference Work/American Institution

American Institution, an institution founded at Washington, D. C., in 1891, with the design of providing advanced instruction for graduates of other colleges, and subsequently placed under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal Church, with John F, Hurst, D. D., LL. D., as its first chancellor. Its working organization is as yet hardly planned out, though its purposed scope is large and important as a post graduate university and of coeducational character.
