The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1876-02-21
For the Dispatch.
The Untversity-A Plea for the Pend
ing Bill.

ing Bill.
Messrs. Editors / have read with int
rest every communication that has appeared
in your columns on the pending bill for the
relief Of the University. Many have spoken
and much has been we'll said concerning it.
All, if I remember Alright, have warmly
favored an increased appropriation but
most oppose it if coupled with free tuition
to Virginia students above eighteen. As
without this condition The Legislature would
scarcely grant it, the opposition Of the COL
eges is virtually pro hac rice hostility to
the University, and it May as we'll be so re.
cogniZed at once. Like the representatives
Of the colleges, favor an increased appro-
priation, without conditions; but, unlike
them, if cannot get this | want it linked
with proViso that will satisfy the tax
PAYERS, and thus secure the needed relief.
The opposition on the part OF the colleges
to free tuition at the State University is I'm.
reasonable. The teachers of private schools,
though the public free schools diminish their
earnings, do not protest against taxation to
support them. The beads Of high.schoos,
like Hanover Academy, Norwood, and Belle
vue, do not grumble because SO many scholar
ships at the Military Institute and so many
more at the Agricultural College are free.
They think the State may do as it will with
its own, and are willing to take their chances.
Why, then, this cry for protection from the
colleges? They are private corporations
under denominational control, not response
bic to the Legislature, aud certainly without
more right to demand its countenance than
the institutions above named. al the pro.
lection they should ask Is afforded By the
proposed examination on entrance. With
that the prosperity of the University will
foster rather than impair that Of the colleges.
In Germany the cheapening of higher educa-
ton has helped the gymnasia, and in Vir.
ginia an analogous result will follow.
Effort has been made to represent free tui-
ton in the University as degrading to the
beneficiary. So obvious an absrudity scarce
ly needs refutation; but to show that with
out tuition fees there is enough for the stu.
dent yet to pay to save his sslf'respect, 1t
may be mentioned that the naturalization fee
alone is $50, which Is more than the entire
academic charge at a Prussian university,
with its liberal subsidy from Government.
Give US the annuity of $50, 900 and free
tuition. The sequel will demonstrate the
act to have been the Wisest of the present
session. l.. III. b.
Many Of our readers will recognize the
above initials as those OF l.. NJ. Blachford,
late president of the Virginia Educational
Association, and now, as then, principal Of
one Of the largest high.schools in this State.

WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY
l. . February Is, 1915. 9.
At a meeting of the trustees of Washing
ton and Lee University, held this day, the
following paper was adopted--Vlz.: s@aE
The attention of This Board having been
called to the bill now pending before the
General Assembly of Virgins, proposing to
appropriate annually $4,000 TO the Univer-
sity OF Virginia upon condition that 1t shall
educate free OF tuition-fees in the academic
schools all Virginia students over the age Of
eighteen years, we desire most. earnestly to
protest against the. passage of such mea.
sure as unjust and injurious to the other In
sstitutions In the State, founded by private
enterprise and endowed by private funds,
and dependent in large degree for their effs
cheney and success upon the: patronage OF
their students.
The proposed measure leaves the UniYer.

RESOLVED. That our senator and delegates,

BEv. DouGLAs's letter was prematurely
construed to be an attack upon the Southern
Pacific railway. 1t was promptly printed
at somebody's expense and placed upon the
desks of the members Of the Virginia Legis'
lature. Who paid for this2 1t is not i'm
portant. But still it is worth the inquiry.

SILVER A DRUG.-Tre genius Of greed is
turning up lis nose ut silver ; it is now a
drug. Nothing but gold comes anywhere
near his purity and ineorruptibity. The
thinkers in Congress propose to make silver q
legal tender to The amount Of $4,000; but
then the making Of any sum of silver legal
teuder Is quite offensive 10 the golden aris'
tocracy. Such snohbery as silver! Why, it
is not 10 be thought Of.

dation must come to land which deSrades
Its noblest occupation.
Those points contain the answer to every
proposition of our respected correspondent
which looks to the practicability and endu-
rability Of mixture OF two distinct races
one inferior to the other--aud which must
be kept socially distinct, yet which are po-
officially equal. The world never behsld
such a social condition having any sign of
permanence. It's endurance is impossible.
IN the samples we have had in the West In.
dies the facts have been clearly against the
idea OF the capability of the determination
OF distinct races, and wherever on earth it is
attempted the social evils and political dis.
turbsnces and degradations are conspicuous.
1t Is not for man to explain the designs OF
Heaven !; but he may draw differences from
the laws OF nature as to what policy is best
for the welfare of man. May he not infer
that man best displays bis respect for the
will OF Heaven by respecting its clearly
manifested laws? Now, men Of very differ.
ent natures We find placed on earth BY Crea.
ton. Each type, as far as we know, was
placed In its own land separated from the
other and we know that whenever they have
met they haYcfought. The superior have en-.
slayed the inferior types, end wherever this
has been done calamity has followed. The AZ
rioan was enslayed and brought hither. ca,
]amity such as the world never saw before
has fallen upon this land. ASH slave. be was
controlled and forced to labor. The social
distinction which Is erdained by nature was
maintained more efrcsualy under IA state Of
slavery than il can DO under any other con.
