OUR STATE UNIVERSITY.

An Explanation of the Recent Reduce
ton of the Number Of Professors and
of the Courses Now Offered.
The Legislature of 1885 passed an
act providing fol the establishment of
an Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege, anv transferred to that college
seventy-fve hundred dollars of income
then used for Agricultural and Me
chanical instruction at the University.
This transfer of funds has made neces-
sary the reduction of the Faculty of
the University, in certain special de-
partments and false impression may
be made in regard to the effect of this
reduction upon the general work of
of the University. The authorities
| deem it proper, therefore, to make u
statement Of the facts.
1t had been demonstrated bv expe-
rience that there was little demand
among our people for instruction in
certain departments of the University,
Notwithstanding their importance, and
the efficiency and zeal manifested by
the professors in charge and it was
evidently the desire of the Legislature
that certain other special studies be
taught at the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College instead of at the Uni
versity. Hence, in the re adjustment
of the work of the University, the au-
thorities have omitted the following
special branches of study: fadagog-
les, Ornithology, Metallurgy Mining
Engineering, Feeding and Breeding
