ILLINOIS

Editor, Missoulian:-I feel called
upon to answer the communication
from An Illinois Alumnus'' in The
Missoulian of January 20. In that
communication l find the statement
that Illinois is not a consolidated uni
versity.
l am glad this statement has been
made public at this time, but not glad
that il has the signature illinois
Alumnus." I am glad it has been
made because the University of Illinois
is one of the best examples in the
United States of a university grown
great because of consolidation and the
power with both people and legisla-
ture which such consolidation brings.
The University of Illinois was found
ed as the state industrial university.
This name was not changed until the
university was older than the Univer-
Slty of Montana is today. Each Of
the two oldest state normal schools
had the legal title Normal Univer-
sity.' | suppose some people in Mon
ana would claim, therefore, that each
of these oldest normal schools is a
university, for these people say they
SNS NASiA vi Il iii tI Sly
from the official title given to an in
%stitution by the act establishing it.;
but the opinion of such people can
have little weight.
Now as I said, the university was
founded originally as an industrial
university. 1t grew into a real uni
versity after its name was changed.
The first building was the college of
literature and arts; then came the law.
school, followed by the college Of
science, the college of engineering, the
college of agriculture. all of which are
located on the campus of the Univer-
sity of Illinois. The college of medi-
cine at Chicago was for year a sepa-
rate institution having no connection
whatever with the University of Illi-
nois. 1t was known as the College If
'"vsi"iars ard Surgeons of Chicago.
The same may be said in regard to
the school Of dentistry and the school

there is perpendicular; that there
tract of 5000 acres. A faculty meet
ing was called. The results were unan-
imous and instantaneous. A little
group of 1000 students, on their way
from Idaho to the university of Min
n%esota, had stopped off at Bolton to
see a real university. They were
speedily enrolled in the course in
metallurgy, equipped with spades,
each one taking his pick, and not
only worked their way through the
course but also worked their way
through a mountain range. The uni
versity was, at last, on the level. This,
in itself, was a welcome innovation.
The career of the greater university
had begun. The scenery, of course,
was its greatest asset. Hundreds of
learned scholars from the east begged
for positions on our faculty, simply to
view the scenery. In so far as there
We're views and views, it became a
typical American university. The only
degree granted was NJ. S.-Master Of
Scenery.
And the greater university was self
supporting. Every student, by his
manua! labor, supported himself and
one member of the faculty. There
was some embarrassment at first, due
to the fact that a student is supposed
to recite three hours per day, study
six hours, and eat at least seven min
utes. Assuming hat the college stu
dent is a social animal-and no one
will deny that he is an animal, social
or Notwithstanding this, and Civ
ing him a few hours for the festive
turkey-trot, where could he get his
time for manual labor? The faculty
was again equal to the BY
unanimous vote, it abolished sleep;
thus completely solving the vexed
question. About 5000 students who
can find no work on the ranch, busted
themselves busting off the horizon
and polishing the glaciers.
What was done with the old sites?
The deserted Easements in Missoula,
Bozeman, Butte and Dillon were roof
ed over and used for polytechnic high
schools. Everyone admitted that,
while consolidation is good for a uni
vcrsity, it is bad for a high school.
Hence, the pol%ytechnics.

which is more out of the ordinary than
anything which the most imaginative
writer could devise and make plausi-

frame anything more improbable than

it is my belief, after visiting
more than five hundred institu-
tons in North America, that the
quality of instruction in any one
of these institutions of the first
grade does net vary sufficiently to
render the choice of a college on
the ground Of educational advant-
ages a matter Of great moment.
The values which the small college
loses from inferior equipment are
usually offset by the more direct
access of the student to the person
atty of the teacher, and often by
closer friendships with fellow stu

Dealing with the university question, the Posts suggestion has been
that it is best, first of all, to sound public sentiment with respect to
the proposed Consolidation. The proposition took the state fairly by
surprise less than a month ago. Those who advanced it started the
movement for legislation with the slogan that Everybody is for it,
Specifically, the declaration was that Butte is for it, that Missoula,
standing aside would bow cheerfuny to- the will o the people n that
Bozeman would be amiatle-athough, indeed, the representations %
corning Bozeman werea at the outset, nt emphatic.
The truth is that, u to this hour there has been n o reasonably
clear ascertainment o the u of opinion on the subject 1t has been
claimed positively and ron the star that, in Amy event. Butte would
be found willing, under a consolidation scheme. % part with it's school
of mines. Now, it goes without saying that this institution has not
had the place it ought to have in the plans and hopes and ambitions
and prde of the citizens Of Butte. That is the nor strange because,
in the upbulding of a real university in Montana, the opportunity is
to develop within the lifetime of a generation either a great school of
agriculture or a great school of m ines. Butte Ia never revealed an
ambition to go in for a school of mines of distnctvely high rank.
This does not mean that Butte is willing to surrender its branch Of
Montanas university. We know of only n recording of opinion fol
the community; last Monday night the chamber of commerce voted
in favor of a resolution for consolidation, and we are told that the
assent a cordially given. Whether eminent at large in Buttei is
thus reflected, the Pos does not undertake o say but there has been
thus far no formal declaration to the contrary by any organized repre-
sentative body.
It is different with respect to Missoua and Bozeman-we refer not
to own but both The theory with the advocates of consoida-
ton evidently a that it would behoove these two towns o keep
still and be good" else neither of them might expect to have a chance
for the consolidated institution. Manifesty, it is not going to be that
Way-one could hardly nave anticipated that it would be. 1t is this
vigorous editorial talk which appeared in yesterdays edition of The
Missoulian. We commend The reading IF it to those whom the vital
subject interests. 1t is n no n conclusive; in fact, The Muscular
makes distinct assertion that it is not discussing the merits of con-
solidation n that it is dealing n OF viii a theory but with a condition.
For its part, the Post likewise, in its repeated reference to this sub
theory but with a condition-we les the present actual condition of
public opinion. That has been represented by advocates of consoida-
ton to be as good as unanimously for consolidation. We do o accept
that assertion. Meanwhile, how does Butte really feel about it?

WHAT is THE PUBLIC SENTIMENT?

Avery proper question has come up as a result of the dis
cussion of the consolidation question; For some time we
everywhere, is overwhelmingly in favor of the unnamed
plan. Specifically, it had been stated that in Mlssoula the
opinion of the public was ninety per cent in favor of the
proposition. As far as Missoula is concerned, this state
ment has been disproved and it has been made clear that
sentiment here is strongly against the plan, as it has been
put forward.
of the statement as to other places than Missoula. 1t is
fair to doubt that the assertions which have been made are
any more nearly correct as to the outside sentiment than
they were regarding the opinion here at home. What is
tn, sentiment of the state? That is one Of the things
Which we have to discover. We have no assurance yet
that it is for the plan, other than the statement of the men
who are working for that plans adoption.
The Muscular seeks to be perfectly fair in this question
and honest in its discussion. We expect those who do not
agree with us to be equally on the square. There are some
people who are sincere in the belief that the proposed con-
solidation should be made. But these people have no right
to deny to us the privilege of being equally sincere in the
positive belief that the consolidation should not be made.
Because we have ventured to express the opinion that
present conditions are not as they should be at the state
university, we have been accused by members of the faculty
of throwing mud" That is not fair. We maintain that
the people of Missoula have the right to oppose the plan
proposed for consolidation. 1t is neither d%ignified nor
honest to say they are purely selfish because they take this
position. There are many people here who believe that,
under any circumstances, the consolidation OF the schools
would not be wise. And they can give good reasons for
their belief.
We assert our opinion squarely that Missoula sentiment is
against consolidation. We believe, too, that it will be
found that the sentiment of the state is against consolida-
ton. We feel that haste should be made slowly in placing
the state on record. We know of no reliable canvass of
opinion that has been made. Surely there is no depend
ence to be placed upon the letters which are pouring in upon
the members of the legislature. We have shown that these
letters are ready-nade; that they are signed under misrepre-
sentation; that they are written, not by the people who send
them in, but by the publicity bureau which is being operated
by the friends of the consolidation plan: We can show, if
necessary, that some of the letters that have been sent from
Missoula, have not been signed by the men whose names are
appended to them. .
So it is an open question as to what the real sentiment of
Montana is. The following editorial from the Butte Post
is directly to the point; it was published before the Missoula
meeting of Saturday had been held:
