denies that he and Former Senator
Edwin Taylor. now a regent of the

OF thought Of hindering the progress
of that school or the State university
in the bill introduced recently. which
defined specifically the fields of the
two institutions The bin presented
by Senator Cooke was prepared by
himself and Mr- Taylor. It prohibits
the State university from establish
ing certain courses connected in

and also it prohibits the Agricultural
college from encroaching upon the
distinctly scholastic field of the uni

In his interview Senator Cooke
said:
There is a general misuuderstand-
ing IN the state regarding the attitude
of ex-senator Edwin Taylor and nv
self toward the Agricultural college
and the university. The intent of tn .
bill introduced was to plainly define
the field in which each school is to

was not prompted by any u1-feeIing
or il-wil toward either institution.
We desire to go on record that
no one has deeper interest or a.
