In dlscussing through the columps
OF the newspapers the unlverslty and
Agricultural College questions, those
writing Ia the interest Of ths Uni.
versiiy seem TO think Il necessary TO
hnd some fault with the College In
order TO make out case for the Uni.
voisiiy. do not believe In that Kind
Of Argument II the AgrIcultural Col.
lusc cannot stand on H. recorI and
vAnnol get a fair proportion Of the
public revenues upon fair statement
Of TIE facts W. they exist ani not as ita
icclaimers imagine them 10 be, then IL
ought not TO succeed.
