State College and the State Normal
school. the board to consist of three
persons on salary and to have an Of
flee at the state capitol, and to have
all the duties and responsibilities OF
the present boards OF trustees and re-
gents of these state institutions. The
bill was considered and reported ia
vora bly, and then sent to second COM
mittee from which 1t was reported TO
the house with the recommendation
that It be referred to the Thirtieth
general assembly with favorable In
dorsement and to be introduced early
In the session so as to have 1t acted on
in time for discussion on the floor. The
bill had many friends at that time
and 1t had been much urged
by persons interested in the affairs OF
the state. But the persons who were
most enthusiastic in favor Of the meas
ure in the last legislature were not re-
turned to the legislature again, and the
bill has not been revived. The COM

to the standard and reputation of the
state. They are behind now. And to
develop them properly there must be
the college spirit, which can in no way
be better cultivated than by calling
into the control Of these institutions
representative men OF the state and es-
pecially alumni OF the colleges and unit

tempt to deprive the educational In
stitutions of this helpful assistance OF
men whose hearts are bound up In the
educational work of the state. We
could gain nothing by putting the three
educational institutions on dead level
of equality or attempting to direct their
management as one institution, AMI

Yes" said Mr.. Temple. 1T is the
practical way of providing for the sup
