inquiring whether the faculty of tn
university is receiving students from
other states and territories, and OF

cases have already presented them
selves-one from Illinois and ont
from New Mexico-and that in thu
absence of any prohibition by the
board of regents or the law of the
state, these two students have beer
received; but feeling great doubt
whether it has been the Intention Of

free tuition to the whole of the United

memorandum on the subject for the
board of regents, requesting that at
the approaching meeting of the board
this general question may be fully
