the need for more buildings. Alfred c.
Kennedy, president Of the board. said
Monday morning:
"The reason the ballots are separately
placed is that In this state women are

It know that when a university protes-
sor or a college graduate enters politics he
will be fighting for civic righteousness. He
knows that every man who falls below bis
highest harms not only himself, but low
ers the standard OF his country; that every
man who values wealth more than honesty
rank more than character, amusement
more than improvement ease more than
reform, 20 that extent falls short OF the
perfect citizen. 1 would consider Il a
crime against the state TO silence uni

government. They are American citizens
before they are university professors. Many
Of these men have made OF political, social
