and both solons and students enjoyed it.
The senators and representatives were
Immediately ushered to chapel hall,
where they were called upon for
speeches, while the Slxi-u-mah yell fairly
raised the hair on their heads.
Senator Brewer, an alumnus, was the
first to speak. He was cheered wildly as
he recalled some of the events of his
university life and the victories of the
1900 football team. Representative J. F..
Jacobson said, when his turn came, that
he did not have the advanta ges that the
students at the university were having,
but if they, succeeded as we'll as he had
done they would be great some day.
Lieut.. Gov. Lyndon A. Smith said he had
aided the university as much as he could
land and Daugherty on the university
committee and Senator Brewer On the
finance committee.

of the Minnesota Educational association
appeared upon the scene and spoke in
favor of a college of pedagogy. Among
others DR.. D. D. Kiehle spoke for the
college He said in part:
This call for a college of pedagogy
comes from the high schools of the state
and not from the university. For years
Individual opinions of men interested in
secondary education have been expressed
in favor of more generous provision 1or
instruction in the art of teaching by the
university. 1t is now for the representa-
tiyeS of education and their representa-
tiyes in legislature to take such action
as the interests of the state demand.
On the part of the university, we can
say that we are in hearty sympathy with
the view that the leaning of the uniVer-'
sity should be directed in practical way
to the welfare of society. The depart
ment of pedagogy represents the view
that there is no end in which it can be
more Serviceable than the education OF
the youth of the state. There is. be-
Sides this special condition in Minnesota
That we are at great cost establishing
centers of higher education in every thrlv-
ing town of the state. These schools
supply the largest majority of our youth
the best and all the fitting for life they
ever get in school. 1t is not difficult to
see that these schools require the best
professional preparation for their teach
erS that the university can AFFORD. Ehey
are not to be temporary maSeshifts for
men who are on the way to more lu-
crative calling
After visiting the university. the solons
left for the state agricultural college,
where they were entertained by Presi-
dent Northrop and Prof. Tucker. s
