SOCIETY DIRECTORY,
An Authentic Statement.
Moscow, Idaho, June II, 1897

Moscow, Idaho, june IL, 1897
20 the Peope OF the State of Idaho: !.
Inasmuch as statements detrimental
ia the government of the University Of
Idaho have been widely cirulated, and
si:h statements being injurious to the
6resteg Of the ipstution and to the reputa-
ton of the Faculty thereof, we deem it
advisable to make the following state
taent:
The university was organized in 1892,
since which time it has had steady and
healthy growth. After taking into con-
5iieration the conditions and surround
ings, and having examined its methods
Of work, we are of the opinion that the
Uniyersity is a success, This success is
due, in a great measure, to the splendid
ability and untiring industry OF the res.
peeetiye members Of the Faculty, and to
aens more than To President Gault,
Upon the advent of this Board we found
ourselves confronted with the lamentable
Condition of lack of harmony in the
Faculty. Charges were made against the
President and sundry members OF the
Faculty such as pernicious political act
iyity, incompetency, and charges equally
serious and dishonorable. We have patti
emily and honestly investigated the
charges called to our attention and found
these charges had no foundation in fact,
or were too trivial for notice.
For the past four years the charge has
been freely and frequently made that
the University was being conducted on
political lines to advance the interests
And ambitions Of the late chief executive
81 the state and the party then in power.
We express no opinion as to the truth or
falsity Of these statements. We simply de-
aire to state that our investigations have
JAILED to reveal any sufficient evidence
that any schemes of partisanship were
participated in by any member OF the
Faculty. The University of Idaho cannot
be made a political machine while we
aFe in control.
In concTusion, we wish to say to the
aeonle of Moscow. that situated in your
beautiful town YOU have splendid in
Eititution of learning; that while it is the
State University, you, in its immediate
uicinity. reap the greatest benefits from
It'd existence. 1t is equipped with q fine
iibrary. NECESSARY scientific apparatus,
ana 4 conscientious industrious and COM
netent Faculty. each member OF which is
thriving to make the institution better
and more useful to you and to the state.

or state may be justly proud; and this
