STATE UNIVERSITY.
A PLEASANT CHAT WITH PROF. WILLIAM P
WILEY
In Regard to the Past and Future Of That lnsttu-
hun-Ths School Is ALI Right in Spite Of the
Efforts Made to Destroy Its Efficiency.
A Good Place to Send Boys.

Prof. w. P. Wiley, of the State uni
versity, was circulating quite actlVely
about town yesterday. In answer 10
the REGISTER reporters inquiry ne
said:
Il am looking up some OF the boys
which Wheeling is hAbitually sendlng
out OF the State TO be educated else,
where. l want to suggest to them ana
their parents that there ought 10 De
little matter of State pride In having
them educated at home, In their own
University, and in company with the
boys with whom they will probably DC
associated hereafter in business.
Besides" he continued, "the time IS
coming, if it is Lot here now, when a
diploma from the State University VIII
be passport for young man to all
avenues OF business and the PROFESSIONS
III there were better facilities IN
other States than at our own University
for getting an education the young men
Of West Virginia could not be blamed
for going abroad, but that is not so, and
If they would take the pains TO lnvestl-
gate the West Virginia University they
would say So"
VIII the recent disturbance affect the
attendance next year? asked the REGIS
TER inquirer.
ITO some extent, probably. A uni
versity is very sensitive kind OF lnstl-
tuition, and if the public get the I'M
preston that anything is wrong with
the machinery, it affects il unfayora-
bly,. However, the recent breeze ought
to De regarded as among the things that
were. The University will so right
along as though nothing had happened.
Prof. Reynolds is at the helm and he Is
as abundanty able TO run II as any
man who can be found. He will have
the hearty support Of every member OF
the faculty TO make his administration
a success. The alumni Of this Uniyersi-
", TOO, all over the State, are rolling
up their sleeves to help"
"The fact is" said Prof. Wiley. "the
little friction that existed In the Univer-
sity heretofore never affected the work
one bit. Nobody could have discovered
that ANYTHING was out Of whack. In
deed, the whole fight was In the news
papers and among the goSsip-mongers
throughout the State. II was not In the
University. u would have required a
New York detective to have discovered
it there. Nevertheless the public were
made TO believe that everybody in the
University was standing on his head
with his heels In the air That's a mis-
take. We are all too amiable, too
proper, too dignifed for that, my friend.
We are not kickers."
Is everything quiet about the Uni
versity now?
Calm, cool and comfortable. As the
summer girl would say, It's perfectly
beautiful And besides, remember our
society, aud all its oId-time associa-
tions."
