The University's Danger.

The Journals exposure Of the

board seems to have stirred up a
hornet IS nest. The friends of the uni

marvelously under the fostering care
of the regents who have been men

accept a salaried position, such as the
new bill coutemplates, but have Civ

The proposed bill would abolish this
board and place all the educational in

the prosperity of the university has

pressed by the Pioneer Press, which

the movement is in very definite shape,
