Norwich Bulletin: The Storrs school bill (which was favorably reported on by the agricultural committee of the legisla- ture on Thursday is exciting sharp dis I cussion among the newspapers of the state, and the papers favoring Yale in dulge in calling the Storrs school "a fledgling," {" Ia miserable institution" ," and Ian institution which cannot justify it's ownexistence. The animus of this whole matter lies in the fact that these abusive writers are alumni of Yale. They are jealous lest their alma mater shall be de- prived of little of the money which she has been receiving from the United States government for the past thirty years, by the friends of this plebeian institution {; but they should bear in mind that neither the farmers or the legislators are robbers or violators of contracts, and that they are not more prejudiced or one sided in their views than are the Yale partisans. The projectors of this bill believe that the Storrs school more fully meets the idea of the governments purpose, which the congressional appropriation has an- tnnally been made to carry out, than does the Yale "Sheff." The farmers may be mistake but the government of the United States will see that its purpose is not defeated by "a weakling school in Mansfield" or its friends. The idea that there is anything vicious or unprincipled about the matter is nonsense. The Storrs school is an eastern Connecticut institu- tion, and one in which the farmers take some pride. It was instituted to give farmers sons a practical as we'll as theo- retical agricultural education. It is pat termed after the agricultural schools of other states, and is constantly increasing it's value and importance. It merits the support rather than the slurs of the friends of Yale, and when 'sthat dear old queenly institution of national fame and large en- dowments finds that she has not been distressed by her losses, we hope hel alumni will not stand in row to taunt 8 worthy eastern Connecticut institution, but lend hand to make this s'weakling'' strong, and to do all they can to help ii to position where it's existence will be justified and it's work, like Yale's, be it's glory.
