Those who oppose the consolidation
of the Oregon State university and
the Agricultural college, haven't any
particular objections to the appoint
ment by Governor West Of a commits
sion to investigate and report, but
they believe that that commission
should not consist of people who ia
vor the consolidation, or those who
oppose it, either. The only way in
which the matter could be settled in
satisfactory manner, would be to
refer it to competent educators from
outside the state, who would be en-
tirely impartial in the matter and
could render judgment according to
the best needs of the state. AS the
institutions are now operated, both
are doing good work, but along diff
ferent lines The Corvallis institution
especially is a very strong one, and
the fame of it's work extends far be-
yond the boundaries of Oregon. Stu
dents are there from all sections of
the United States and even from for
eign countries 1t is a great and
growing college and should not be
hampered by consolidating with any
other institution, if such action will
in any manner restrict it's work or
the good it is doing. The Observer,
in company with those who oppose
believe that both insti-
tutions should remain as they are
for the very good reason that both
are working along different lines and
that consolidation would inevitably
result in injuring one or the other.
