sity students to do things right.
Members of the committee, you miss
ed half Of your life in not seeing the
dignified and elevated shirt tail parade
conducted 10y our students upon the
arrival home from Colorado of con.
quering Maddox and his. football
heroes. 1t was a sight to make the
blood of heroes boil. You see our
University students possess energy
and snap. When they see fit, they
call mass meetings and roast the pro.
fessors, they smash furniture, dismiss
examination, engage in rushes, throw
cabbages at amateur prep perform
ances and conduct themselves as be-
comes a university student body.
| have already said that differ from
Henry Drummond and Pres. Love in
their position that Love Is the great
est thing in all the world In my
opinion the word that transmutes
baser metals into gold is economy.
Yes sir economy is the watchword
Prof. Joe Merrill has told me time and
time again that the Agricultural Col
lege could not be attacked in any
other way. you know l draw the
Presidents salary over at the Univer-
sity but Joe furnishes the gray matter
and does the managing.) Joe says
on the quiet that the Agricultural
College is all right, that if it was in
Salt Lake it would be all o. X. Let
me again stuff into your ears that
economy Is the watchword.
! will now explain what an Agricul-
tural College should be when it becomes
a part of the University. First and fore
most it should mean the drawing an
nually of forty thousand dollars from
the federal government. Secondly, an
agricultural course on paper but never
in reality. Thirdly, there should be
no students in agriculture. They in
crease the expense of the school,
Their presence goes against economy.
In proof of my contention that Agri-
cultural Colleges which are parts of
State Universities do not have STU
dents in agriculture i cite you to
Idaho, Missouri, Nebraska and Cali
fornia. In these states they are onto
their job. They draw from the gov
ernment each year forty thousand
dollars and spend fifteen thousand in
experimentation. The remaining
twenty-five thousand is spert in the
classical and literary courses. The
professors are never troubled with the
vulgar duties Of teaching agriculture.
They are above having students in
agriculture.
When my co-laborer in consolidation
Prof. Josh Paul presided over the
agricultural College he only had from
,hree to seven students in the course
n agriculture. DR.. Jim Tanner dur
ng mis- administration raised the
number to eleven. William Jasper
Kerr with his usual obtuseness and
ack of horse sense has increased the
number to two hundred. Two hun
ired students in agriculture is enough
% bankrupt any State in the far east,
ct alone Utah.
They now employ eight or ten men
n giving courses at Logan. If the
Agricultural College was at Salt Lake
Ne wouldn't need but two men. We
Would need Director Of the station in
order to hoodwink the governorment
INTO giving us the forty Thousand. We
would employ an agronomist to do
some palayering about dry farming.
We might decide to mount Captain
Bill Jardine, the instructor in agrono-
my, on wheels and trundle him down
10 University Bench. You see we
need him in the football push. Judge
Billie King and Major Dickie Young
could pass the hat around among the
alumni and raise enough shekles to
pay Capt. Bill's registration fee. Then
we would assign him a course along
side of one of Representative Stookey's
1855 dollar kindergartners. Then /,
Joseph Torquemada Kingsbury, could
certify that Captain Bill was a genu-
inc, regular, proper bona-fde student
OF the U. Of U.
Right here want TO repudiate ut
terly the sarcastic insinuations hurled
at the head of Representative Stookey
by the Logan Algerines because he
classed infants, ''mewling and puking
in their nurses arms, as University
students" The following reasons con-
clusively establish Brother Stookey's
position. Prof. Stewart, assisted by
principal Mcknight, Prof, Bennion
and Senator Bennion, has carried on a
research investigation in which he has
demonstrated that a three-year-old
infant in Salt Lake is as far advanced
in intellect, morals and manners as
an adult i'm northern or southern
