McCORMICK AS REGENT Senator from Illinois Named Re- gent of Famous Research In- stitution by Vice-President. Senator Medill McCormick of Iili- nois, at the suggestion of Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, has been appointed by the vice president a re- gent of the Smithsonian institution.

Although Smithson never has vis- ited the United States, and so far as is known had no American friends. when he died it was discovered that | he had made the American govern- | ment residuary legatee in his will, with a provision that his estate should be used for the establishment of an institution of study and scien- tific research in Washington, to be known as the Smithsonian institu- tion. The American government ac- cepted the bequest and the institu- tion was started here in the early forties.
