supported by the interest and pride
Of loyal citizenship In whom resides
the desire that Idaho shall have a state
university commensurate with her Inn
portance as a state and second to none
among her sister commemorative OF
the west. all Of which are beneficiaries
OF like generous gifts Of lands from
the general government for their main
tenance. There are many potent ar
guments favorlng a strong university
In Idaho, but their development here
would lengthen this communication to
unwarranted limits, Suffice to say that
the reward may find commerce In every
home and become the stability OF our
government. The desire for knowl-
edge Is common, and, in some degree
OF intensity, reaches all classes and
conditions of men. IL Is the business
OF the state TO develop this desire and
facilitate the means OF its gratifca-
ton to the end that the state itself,
which Is but n group OF organized in
diyiduals, may be learned and strong.
The building OF a university Is not the
work of few years nor is II accom-
plished when appropriations are made,
and buildings and equipments placed
All these are involved. but that which
counts in the final analysis Is the char
acter Of the institution. When Idaho
shan have expended money in the
building of an university she wants, as
a product. character for scholarship
and influence which. In comparison. viii
stand, To this end men give their lives
and that which is builded by them
bears the character which their lives
impress. IL Is therefore OF first Inn
portance that men OF character and 1T.
ness be placed In position. Such men
are In demand and command good sala-
ries. Idaho must meet the situation,
as her university grows. Ten years
measure the time since the doors first
opened. They have been years OF
growth, yet the university has reached
but small degree OF its possibilities
As the state develops and our popula-
ton multiplles there Will be demands
for new bulldlngs,e enlarged accommoda-
lions and equipments, new depart
ments. increased facilities for instruc-
ton and added numbers Of trained
men and women 20 the teaching force
The state should be liberal in It's APP
proprlatlons for all these purposes. and,
up to reasonable. but within defined
limits meet the necessities as they
arise. In the report OF the board Of
regents which Is herewith submitted,
a COPY OF which was furnished me by
courtesy Of the president you VIII note
that the board is now asking for an
appropriation az your hands for a new
building. This IL a building which is
doubtless needed. or will be needed, by

STATE UNIVERSITY.

At the head Of our educational sys-
TEN stands the state university an in
stltutlon which By name and intent in
dicates an assemblage of schools with
professors for nstructing students In
the varlou branches Of learning. Its
location is established by statute and
confirmed by the constitution There
have been obstacles In the way Of de-
velopment, not the least Of which has
been a disposition to ignore the uni
verlsty idea and locate some of the coli
leges or departments In other sections
of the state. a resulting lack Of loyal
ly to all the interests Of the university
In a measure retarded its growth and
avoided a moral and material support
essential to It's best interests. Local
and temporary organizations have, at
times, induced criticism OF the loca-
ton, and urged the diversified idea OF
schools and a consequent weakening OF
that which should be the great center
of our educational system, Friends,
less wise and less diplomatic, than
earnest and urgent, have sometimes
antagonized by claiming the institution
as theirs and advocating its support
from community interest and local
pride. Happily these and kindred OPP
posing influences have been largely
relegated, and the university advanced
to the front rank Of state institutions
