legally transferred to the Latter-day
Saints college, the name of which has
been changed to the Latter-day Saints
university. The new policy Of this in
stitution is to ioe outlined at that time.
and the general feeling is that it viii
be in harmony with the new policy out
lined by the state university people.
The conference to be held at the same
time VIII include Representative from
all the institutions of the state that are
liable to be affected, and a strenuous
effort VIII be made to have a. definite
policy adopted, one that all in the state
viii work to.
Favored by President Paul.
Professor ]. H. Paul. who is at the
head OF the Latter-day Saints univer-
sity, is heartily in favor of the new
arrangement
There is too much waste now in ed
ucational institutions. both of time
and money, for the reason that so
many institutions are duplicating the
work of others I would favor con-
fining the work of the Latter-day
Saints university to theological stud
les and the branches that naturally so
with them and leave all the other work
in the higher branches of learning To
the state university. This would en-
able our institution to teach theology,
the languages. social and political
science and philosophy. i consider that
this would be wise because in the first
place we are not able financially to
carry the fun university work and do
it justice; that would require an en-
dOWment Of S1,0O0009 and then we
would be hardly on a footing with the
state university that is supported by
general taxation. Then when lit is con-
sidered that there are two other insti-
tutiOns in the state processing to do the
same work as our school and all kept
UP by a tax on the people of one
church, the wisdom of a change is very

preparatory course in one OF our state
institutions and then go of east to
take q higher course IA some eastern
colleges In my judgment it would be
better no cut them on sooner IN these
minor institutions and then start them
in our own university This would
build up the university and keep
large amount of money at nome that
now goes out of the state would
favor the retention of the nCrnlal train
ing in the Provo and Logan institu-
tions. but ] would cut 1t out of the Lat
ter4day Saints university, because here
in Salt Lake its retention would sim
ply interfere with the work Of The
state university
Many Institutions Afected-
There are other institutions in the
state that win be affected by this re-
arrangement in addition to the Provo
and Logan institutions The Cedar
Citv normal the Beaver branch Of the
B. Y academy, All Hal0Ws college. the
Salt Lake college. the Sanpete stake
academy at Ephriam and the hi5n
schools at ogden and in salt Lake
There are a number Of high schools IN
the. state that give but one year
course. These would have to be brought
UP to the standard of the high schools
that have regular four year courses
of study.
The meeting of the board Of trustees
of the proposed Brigham Young UNI
versity win be held June II, and ct
that time this whole matter of sys-
tematizing the educational work Of
the state win be taken up at confer
ence of school men, and the impression
is that an agreement win be reached,
although there is opposition TO . a
change I'M some quarters
