Professor Robert A. Armstrong, act
ing president OF the state university,
who has been attending the Ohio coun-
ty teachers institute. was seen last
night, by an Intelllgencer reporter, and
interviewed as to the outlook for the
university, He was enthusiastic over
It's prospects, and detailed several in
teresting facts regarding the institu-
ton.
This year by the way. the faculty Is
making credltable efforts to place tho
university before the people. Besides
the work of Field Agent waisman
Barbe. every professor Is taking jaunt
through the state, attending teachers
Institutes, and in every way possible,
showing forth the advantages that &c
crue from the school, Such work is
bound to be productive of good
Among other things Professor Arm
strong said last night:
"The outlook for the university Is
promising. The enrolment will DOUBT
less 90 over five hundred for the COM
ing year. The non-partisan board OF
regents showed very progressive splr-
1t In the work they did at their last
meeting. There was nothing partisan
In their action, so far as can see. II Is
certainly well that the highest institu-
ton OF learning Of the state is man
aged by board OF such spirit,
"The division of the chair OF Ancient
Languages so that there are now two
chairs, and the election OF Professor l..
C. Woolery to the chair Of Greek, Is n
good move. The establishment OF sep
arate chairs OF history, OF agriculture,
and pure mathematics will materially
strengthen the university The cadet
corps has been made n part Of the
state National Guard and now the ca.
diets get free uniforms as well as free
books and free tuition.
MANY of the friends OF sectarlan
schools cry ou: against the irreligious
influences OF state schools. The univer-
slty has not been free from such
charges. But the fact Is that the rellg-
lous Influences at the university are OF
the very best. The many churches Of
the town take a special Interest In the
students and the religious spirit among
the students Is very strong. a flourish
ing Y. NJ C. A. includes in Its member
ship the very best and strongest stu
dents ard It's influence Is Inspiring.
1.-THE equipment OF the departments Is
better than ever before, and the very
best work Is being done In the classical,
scientific, practical and professional
courses. The work done is thorough,
the standard In the several departments
is high, and high ideals of attainment
and character are held up before all
students.
at is often a matter OF wonder to me
why young men and women will SO out
Of the state to schools OF much inferior
grade, when our own university offers
such excellent opportunities to them,
free OF tuition"
Professor Armstrong leaves this
morning. on trip down the river, In
the interests Of the university.
