can complains that the beautiful park oil
the State University is common COW
pasture, and calls for change in lis
manag cmcnt. 1t saws that the young
shade trees, planted at a gicat cost, are
bruised, bent over and broken down, and
the ground kept in filthy condition,
shameful to those who have the park
under their control. Last July the con-
troll OF the grounds passed from the trus.
tees over to the faculty, for the express
purpose, as it was alleged, Of more
careful supervision and preservation OF
the park. The responsibility now lies
at Tie door Of the Faculty. 1t is rassn.
strange that men of liberal views and
scientific taste should permit for an hour
such things to pass before their eyes
The case is patent to our citizens as ell
as to the students of the University
How can Faculty command respect
or expect from the pupils obedience to
the rules and regulations OF the Univer.

gard those obligations which they owe
to the Unsyersity and the State. fifth,
