PROTESTS AGAINST
CARNEGIE FUNDS

The following letter by Judge Low
Journal:
Pendleton, July 31.-Board of Re-
gents, State University, Eugene, Ore.
Gentlemen:-The recent visit to the
state of the president of the so-called
Carnegie Foundation for he Ad-
vancement of Learning, indicates that
your body has taken seriously senate
joint resolution No. 12, passed by the
last legislature, and has applied there
under to have your institution placed
upon the list of beneficiaries of Mr..
Carnegie.
As a private citizen of the state,
yet vitality interested in it's good name,
and hopeful of its future, 1 desire to
place myself on record in protest of
placing the commonwealth or any
of its institutions in the category of
either cycophant or mendicant.
1 want to see the young men and
women of the state trained under
teachers who are free, whose discus
sion of civic problems will not be fet-
tered by golden promises, whose lips
shall not be sealed by visions of
pension from alien sources. The state
is able to maintain its educational
system, and to pay it's instructors
reasonable salaries. Let it do that,
and maintain the courage of teachers
and the independence Of it's schools.
SO far as the joint resolution above
referred to is concerned I have at
least charity enough to believe that
the legislature acted without apprc-
citation of its significance. 1t is one
of those apparently harmless things
which some interested party present.
ed to the committee, and it took its
course without much thought of dis
cusson on the part of anybody upon
the floor of either branch.
In any event it's terms are such
that it Is not mandatory upon your
body. The discretion is still in you
and | am sure that upon considera-
ton you will hesitate to act upon it,
and will at least pass it over to the
next legislature for full and free dis
cussion
To my mind the situation is a
grave one. Not only is the independ-
ence Of our scheme of education in
| jeopardy, but the whole future Of the
state as touching the character of
teachers and of teaching, and the at
titude of educated men and women Of
the future upon civic and industrial
| questions, is at stake.
It matters not what other states
have done or may do. Let Oregon
maintain her dignity, her independ-
ence, and assure to her youth in the
highest institution of her educational
system a curriculum and a faculty
courageous, free and untrammelled.
