Lawrence, kas., April 29- Ambas-
sador Bryce paid special tribute TO
The universities OF this country here
today at The Kansas state uni

with greater pleasure than the con-
tinued advance OF the American col
leges and universities.
The last thirty years, Mr.. Bryce
said, had been the establishment ana
development by he state legislatures
uf large number Of state inatitu-
tons OF higher education, 70 which
annually liberal grants OF money were
rIade. This witnessed 10 the enlighi-
ened wisdom and zeal OF the state az
thorities, who rightly thought that
nothing better could be done for the
youth of ihe state than to place be-
fore them the amplest facilities Tor
prosecuting every kind of study The
appreciation Of such facilities was
shown, he said, by the large and coIr
stantly increasing attendance not only
AT the universities and technlcal COZ
leges supported by the states, but also
st the colleges Of private fonndat ion
Mr.. Bryce said he loved the Ameri-
can universities: he admired the ga ri
estaegs which the teachers threw into
tlseir work, often insufsisseat,y re-
Enumerated. He expected great results
from the diffusion Of knowledge
among all classes Of the people, and
believed that many men or natural
sifts who might otherwise have been
left without adequate training wouln
he thus enabled not only 10 succeed
An life but also TO render admirapie
ssrgice TO the community as writers
and teachers and workers for thf
rublic good. There was, he believed
no other country in the world III Which
20 large proportion of the young
men and women were not recelYint

Mere IN the United States. The am
bassador expressed the opinion ina

Nould be required, ard that what wa,
not now needed was o develop the el
ajciency OF these institutions by 10
c.easing the teaching staff, and d.
