President Kerr on Union.

According to the University plan for
uniting the two institutions, the subStitu-
ton of instructors for professors in GER
tain subjects, ana of a high school prin-
cipdl for a cOlleSe president. would in
crease the total saving to only SO, 500.
BY this same plan, a professor of do
nestle science. and at least three pro-
fessOrS in agriculture would be required
al the University, the salaries aggregat-
ing from Sc. 400 to 1920. At Logan di-
rector of workshops would have to be
the professor of mechanical engineering
With the necessity of additional lnstruc-
tion in the high school. the cost of in
struction would thus be higher than at
present.
All the equipment the college now has,
and the additional equipment asked for
in agriculture. domestic science and arts.
and commerce. would have TO be teIJ
there and a duplicate of this equipment
would be required for the University.
The following additional outlay would
be imperative:
Woman's building and agricultural
building. aggregating Sl23, 900.
Farm buildings, $4,000 to $4,000
Farm lands, expensive and difficult TO
obtain.
If the Agricultural college at Logan is
discontinued, the land there will be for
feited by the state to Cache county and
Logan City, involving a financial Joss OF
$3.50, 600
A most careful consideration oc the en-
tire question, however, in all its phases
iustifies the conclusion that the union OF
the Agricultural college and the Univer-
sitv of Utah in accordance with the plans
proposed by President kingSburY. Is bOtn
