The MORRILL, and HATCH FUND.
Important Opinion Relative to the Division
Of the Fund from Director A. O. True,
of q. s. Agricultural Expert
-,ouA C&n4,o,
ment StatiOn,

President G. II. Jordan, of the Las
Cruces Agricultural college, has re-
ceived the following opinion relative to
the division of the Morrill, and Hatch
funds, from Hon. A. G. True, director
of the United States experiment stations
department of agriculture:
81 have just received your letter OF
February 3, written on behalf of the
board of regents of the New Mexico
College of Agriculture and the Me-
chanic arts and agricultural expert
ment station, in which you ask for the
opinion of the department or certain
points regarding the disposition of the
Nationa! funds given to this institution.
''As regards the proposed division OF
the Morrill, and Hatch funds between
your institution and any others in New
Mexico | have to state that this depart
ment has always been absolutely op-
posed to the division of these funds en-
cept in the case of the case of the sepa-
rate colored institutions provided for in
the Morrill, act. Our opposition to such
division is stronger now than ever be-
fore, since every added year of expert
ence shows more clearly the folly of the
maintenance of a number of weak in
situations in any one state or territory
with these funds. The Morrill, and
Hatch funds kept together are by no
means sufficient for the proper mainten-
nee of a first.class college Of agricul-
ture and mechanic arts and agricultural
experiment station. Instead of dividing
these funds the territory of New Mex
leo should do what it can to supple
ment them in order that this institution
may be as strong as practicable and put
upon a sound and enduring basis.
Every attempt made by a state or ter
ritory to divide these funds or to do
anything which indicates a vacillating
policy regarding the institutions re-
ceiving the benefits of the Morrill, and
Hatch acts is regarded by us as a seri-
Gus menace to the continuance OF appro.
priations by congress for this purpose.
| We should regard it as particularly un-
fortunate if New Mexico should move
in the wrong direction at this time
when the question of permanence OF
the Morrill, fund Is to come before con-
gress owing to the insuficiency of the
funds arising from the sale Of public
lands from which the Morrill, fund has
hitherto been derived.
GAS regards the salaries paid to the
officers of the New Mexico college and
station, l have to state that, as far as
my information goes, they are not
larger than those generally paid by SINH.
lar institutions elsewhere. 1t is very
unwise for any institution to reduce the
salaries of its officers below the amount
commonly paid for similar services in
other states and territories. As a mat
ter of fact the salaries of competent
officers in our institutions of higher edu
cation are rising rather than falling,
and if any institution reduces salaries
below the general level it is very likely
to lose the services of it's best officers
