also. For lower grade
OF work with a less number OF pupils,
the College has used more money how
much more IL is impossible ior an out
slider to tell.
As a matter Of fact, the University
instead OF rolling loo wealth and luxury,
has been crampcd ON every hand by
lack OF means. ! do not know OF an
institution IN America where so small a
corps OF instructors Is doing a work Of
so varied and excellent character Tor
so large q number Of students, with so
small means.
As for Prof Sinboms arguments
against the economy Of union. the only
part Of his article relevant to the qucs'
ton at issue, some of them are exceed
ingly pucfIlc and sophiaical. Jnivcr-
sites get the best men they can for the
salaries they can Afford TO pay. The
President OF the University Of Utah viii
not receive a dollar more salary because
OF uniting the College with The Univcr'
sity, his salary will IN the future as IN
the past depend on circumstances. The
idea that University presidents salaries
are fixed at a certain rate like miners
wages, while College presidents salaries
are fixed at a lower rate like shoyelcfs'
wags Is absurlly false.
Prot. Sanborns remarks about libra.

or ignorance that Is shameful In a man
occupying bis position.
AS to the relative cost OF instruction in
larger and smaller institutions, venture
to assert without fear OF successful con
lradicton that for the same grades Of
work the instruction IS much cheaper Ia
the larger. Loo the larger institutions a
larger proportion OF the teaching Is done
by tutors OF instructors whose salaries
are a half or third that Of the prolus.
