edge of the laws Of Louisiana that is better 10 hav
those who destiue themselves to the practice of the leg
profession educated in Louisiana where they receive
appropriate explanation ofour laws and system Of ur
prudence That the same reasons apply to the Medic'
College That faculties of sciences and letters in
4 short period will produce scholars, educated in Loui
lana equal any Of the graduates Of the northern Tn
| versties. l.
That all the expense necessary Tor the ESTABLISH
lnent OF said University, has been already made by th
State and many individuals have made donations for th
support Of said University which able to suppol
itself without gr expense the part Of the State
consequently the motive of economy (Which Is sigf
one in the opinion Of the undersiyned cannot ettn
invoked for the destruction OF the said institution
would be act of vandalism to destroy what has bet
done under the Constitution Of 1S45 towards the cutu
sf elevated scierce and letters in Louisiana.
The undersigned is of opinion that the abolition Of tt
Superintendent of the Public Schools would have bad
feet upon all our system Of public education as it vi
leave the whole system which must be uniform and gel
