To The Salt Lake Herald
In justice to the many readers of your
valuable paper, the friends of the state
and its higher educational Institutions,
deem it but duty TO make a brief reply
to my unknown friend from Logan whose
article appeared in your columns OF
March 20 pUrpOrting to answer an inter
view with me in relation to certain state
mentS made on the floor of the house of
representatives with respect to the rela-
tive cost per capita of students in the
University of Utah and the Agricultural
college.
In answer to his statement that had
given the University of Utah credit with
money intended for buildings and equip
ment and had not done with the Agri-
cultural college when, he says. / knew a
considerable portion of the Agricultural
1 colleges appropriation would be used for
new buildings and equipment have this
to say. that in the case of the University
of Utah certain amounts were asked from
the state and granted for general main
tenance, and other amounts for other eN-
pressed purposes, such as buildings, etc;
and with the Agricultural college also
Sl33, G95 was asked for general ma1ntc-
nance and other amounts for other pur-
poses, such as building. etc. SlJ6000 WAS
granted for general maintenance, but only
/ SIS. 900 for other purposes Conseduently
the basis for these figures and as the
| $50. 900 received by the Agricultural col
; lege from the United States government
( belongs with the general maintenance
! fund. and perhaps, strictly speaking,
list then in this article, but Will con-
! slider them under another heading
Now, as to the number of students to
! which each of t3e institutions in question
/ is entitled. my former statement in rcla-
| ton to the number of students accredited
TO the University Of Utah is what my
/ frieLH from Logan took exception TO. 50
