only subjects given or offered IN the
Agricultural college and not given or
offered in the University Of Utah are
agriculture and kindred subjects, and
the greater part OF domestic science
and art; and that the only subjects
given or offered IN the University OF
Utah and not given or offered In the
Agricultural college are training school
work, some subjects in the mining en-
cheering course, Greek some Latin,
some courses I'm the department of
education one course In sociology and
a few other subjects OF minor import
ance.
"Three-fourths at least OF the work
done In one institution Is duplicated IN
the other, We have found that II col
lege courses In agricultural and kim
dred subjects, leading to a degree, and
college courses I'm civil engineering and
mechanical engineering, leading to de-
grees, In these courses be given or Of
fered IN the Agricultural college, then
II is absolutely necessary to duplicate
the larger part Of the work OF the
University For instance, the agrl-
cultural course leading to degree OF
b. s. in agriculture at the Agricultural
college, Includes studies nearly all OF
which are also given, not only In our
versity. In any agricultural course,
leading to a degree in agriculture. two
thirds or more OF the work is ordinary
University work. BY looking over the
course In domestic science we find the
same TO be true. In the course in COM
merce nearly all the subjects are uni
versity subjects, the specific subjects
dealing actually with commerce being
economic and law subjects. In all
the engineering courses offered In the
Agricultural college, except n part OF
the subject called irrigation, the sub
iects are ordinary university subjects,
Therefore, as stated, we have found
three fourths, If not more, Of all the
educational work done IN one Of
these institutions Is done In the
that OF all the students I'm the
two institutions comparatively few are
doing college work.
80 small are the classes IN the So
phomore, Junior and senior year In the
two Institutions that In most Instances
two or more times the number of stu
dents IN both institutions could be
taught by one Instructor at the same
time, and thus save thousands of doll
lars In the item of salaries alone We
also find that not only the salaries OF
several instructors could be saved by
consolidation, but one set OF expensive
apparatus, one set OF expensive ma
chlnery for engineering, one set Of ex-
pensive books needed In higher educa-
tion, one set OF scientific magazines
and one set OF laboratory facilities, The
management Of the two institutions, II
consolidated, would cost far less each
than is now .he case one administra-
tlon. one president, one secretary and
one treasurer would suffice for the two
Institutions II the management was
conferred In one. our state has in our
opinion, expended vast sums OF money
unnecessarily for higher education
through maintaining the University OF
Utah and the Agricultural college sep
arately and should these two higher
education institutions still remain sep
arate and be maintained separately as
they have heretofore then the appro-
prIatons which viii have to he made
will grow year by year larger ana larg-
