How Correct the Report Is by Read
iiig it.
The biennial report Of the board of
regents OF the state university is out
1t is yoluminous document and
claims that charges of extravaganza
are unfounded and that there Is a
credit to every fund. Matters which
have occupied so much attention re-
Gently are touched upon very lightly.
The chief reference TO them is in the
following statement:
IA number of changes have taken
place in the faculty during the two
years covered by this report. One by
death and four by resignation in order
to accept better paying positions else
where. Details are given in the pres
ident's report. Two professors have
been removed by the regents after due
elaboration, on the ground OF want OF
hearty cooperation in carrying out
the plans and policy Of the University
as approved and established by the re-
gents and conduct prejudiciai to good
government, and in order TO promote
the welfare OF the school. The charge
has been made in some quarters that
these changes have been prompted by
political considerations. The record
ed vote shows that political lines were
not drawn, and the election OF profess
sors during the two years includes
three whose political Affiliations are
the same as the removed professors,
while the law department. has always
been composed Of gentlemen whose po-
litical affiliations have been with the
same party Neither political nor &C.
clesiastieal associations have been con-
sidered in selecting any number of the
teaching force of the university, or Ia
making removals As far as known,
a very even and fair representation In
the faculty has been given and now
exists as to church and party, and il
any grounds of complaint exist 1t is
because the majority party and the
larger denominations have not pro-
portionate number of professors and
instructors. But such narrow consid-
erations as these ought never to have
weight as against conspicuous merit
and ability.
