during basis, whose sons are educated
iu ideas and principles foreign TO
those which form its substrata, or by
teachers who are not in sympathy
with its peculiar views and institu-
tions. Fully impressed with . convic-
ton of the truth of this theory, We
cordially support the proportion Of
Prof. Boyd, and trust that aour
people win come the aid OF the Uni;
versity, and make it what it, ought to
be, the pride of the State and. an honor
to its name. The. proposition of
superintendent Boyd, and which will
bring the advantages of the Uneversi-
tt within the means of hundreds OF
our people, is as follows:
For every e10O donated for the gen
eral purposes of tho University, the
donor shall have . receipt with four
coupons attached, each good for all
fees of tuition one session; und only
one of the coupons to DO used in. any
one session. A gift it is. yet one for
which the public-spirited man of little
means is richly repaid. His 500 now
paid the University, educstes his son,
and at the end OF four years, he has
saved 1920 for the annual tuition is
$50 But where is the gain to the
University We hope to increase the
number of cadets 80 much, that the in
creased amounts paid for board, and
other fees, now footing $500 for each
cadet per annuln, will more than make
up the loss incurred on tuition. 1t
would look strange if we could not
find at least two hundred persons in
Louisiana who would donate elOO each
tor the relief Of the institution, on
these terms. And apart from the $780,
QUO thus donated, what moral weight
in favor of the University would be
two hundred cadets thus promised, as
it were, and partly secured for four
yearsi -
In its effort to educate and main
tain tor the State o large number of
beneficiary cadets the University has
become burdened with debt. and it
makes this appeal to the people for re-
lief. u ~ 2 E..,, s.,f,.f.- --,t-..l I'LL.
Such is the proposition, and such
the object of the appeal.
Independent of the heavy drain
upon the University funds necessary
for the maintenance and eflucution of
beneficiary cadets, the University has
had to suffer a heavy discount on the
warrants issued by the State, and
which has added materially to 6nan-
cial embarrassment. z
We do most earnestly hope that
this appeal may be literally respond
cd to, and the University be establish
