1916. But these things have been
eliminated from the Constitution for
almost half century
. OUR CONSTITUTION DOES Mt DEMAND
THE EXISTENCE OR SUPPORT OF THE
UNIVERSITY.
Every word that is in the Constitu-
ton about the University Is in Chap
ter TX, Sections &, !, and ii. and is
as follows:
"SECTIoN 6 The General Assembly
shall have power to provide for the
election of Trustees of the University
of North Carolina, in whom, when
chosen, shall be vested all the priv
leges, rights, franchises, and eudow-
ment thereof, in any wise granted to
or conferred upon he Trustees of
said University; and the General
Assembly may (notlce, it only says,
moU make such provisions, laws,
and regulations from time to time
as may be necessary and eX-
pedlent for the maintenance and
management Of said University"
There is no demand for the exist
ence or support of The University in
this section There are only three
things done by this section. IL
Power is conferred on the Genera
!, Assembly to elect trustees. CD Ger
tain privileges, rights, franchises
etc, are vested in said trustees whe1
chosen. (O Authority is conferred
| on the General Assembly in it's DIS
, erection, to make, or to refuse K
make, such provisions, laws and reg
ulations as may be necessary aud ex
0 pedient for the maintenance anc
management of the Univel sity. Thi!
is all.

e THE UNIVERSITY Is NOT THE HEAD o
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.
O DR.. Winston says: "The Universit
is The head Of the public school sys
tenn"
t The Doctor is mistaken. There
Il no truth and not even the shadow {
e truth in the statement.
y 1t is true that the Candy Constitu
y ton" of 1869 made the University tn
head of the public school system, bu
g the amendments to the Constitution
e submitted to the people by the Genera
Assembly of 1928, and ratified b
about 10000 majority. on the frs
Thursday in August of 1873, completed
e and forever separated the Universit
is from the public school system. (Se
chapter 53. laws 1872, and chapter s
laws 1928.
: The University is, therefore, no NOR
t the head of the public school system
t or in any way connected with it, ther

DR.. Winston has been told, by til
executive committee, of the board {
trustees of the University, about til
folly of this statement. His motiy
e for making it, just at the time, is NJ
= hard to find. But the man who no
