4 SET ORDER OF THINGS.
At the meeting Of the Board Of Ten4teos-
Of the Industrial University, last week The
changes made IRE 70 radical from the
,%gan< of the past two years that, no donht,
the people will be Interested to know Of
them, as we'll rs something oil the causes aud
rcasors tha: led thereto.
The press both agricultural and general,
the people and the General Assembly, are
unitcd in condemnation Of the course hithcr-
to pursucd In regard to the management Of
this institution, ard the Trustees have ahoTn
CERTAIN appreciation OF the Situation In
making so many important changes.
That they have not come tnlly
up to public expectation maY be true, but
they have shown that they desire to make
the Institution useful. The ability Of their
net man IS an executive officer had been
called In question sud themselves chssged
With neglect Of duty. Their acts now ehow
that they h4ve had new light On the subject;
that 10 the Trustees Is delegated the power
10 manage the institution that il cannot be
placed In the hands Of one man 10 use It at
Ills will, AID to say what 1t may or may
not be.
One Of the most Important changes IS to take
the bookkeeping out Ct the hands ot the Re-.
gent aud place 1t under tho control Of the
Finance Committee. This was not done tor
any want OF confidence In his integrity, but
simply for the want Of a thorough kuowl-
| edge Of business. The books, rs they now
stand, lack that system Of detail 50 essential
10 full understanding Of the business trans
| acted. The endowment fnud. which Con-
| Esess says shall Only be paid for instruction,
| with u, elc exception, has been thrown into
The general fund anG thus used; no separate
account has been kept With |. 10 shoT the
asnouut or in VI hat msuner it has been dis
hursed. The same msy be said Of each de-
par,ment, where The want Of system Is
equally apparent.
| The put,iic ore entitled to something more
than 70 be told tpat the disaurktng oIfcer is
h"nest they want to Know that be is capa-
hlt. The great trouble with the Regent Is
his Persistent Efforts 10 manage ererythltg
and every ybody, from The Governor, who ap-
points The Trustefs, to Ihe man who sweeps
The rooms. No one must hare tue least dis
clctiop, or, pcrchancc, ht might 1ose the po.
ary meeting Of the Executive Committee he
vas directed 10 hare l $50 circulars printed
containing terms ~ d course OF study. these
have not as }et appeared,tor only one officer
could te entrusted with this duty. A proof
sheet Of part Of It came 10 hand, nad it turcs
out to be new thing altogether. The com-
rnlttec supposed that l 500 circulars could
have beeu printed In week. bnt /. has
taEeE over two months and they are not out
yet. his Is about fair sample ot the way
and is ample proof that these changes have
