better understanding now Of how this
development is to be brought about.
Governor Stewart said tina he had
been glad of the opportunity to get
acquainted with the work and the con-
ditions and the people at the mi
versity. He added that this was not a
speech-makfng trip but that 1t was
a tour of careful inspection. He felt,
he said, hat he and his associates had
benefited by the trip and that he was
more tha ever convinced of the
great possibilities which the univer-
sity possesses.
And I want to say" said the gov
ernor in closing. that you need not
fear that the university will not get
a square deal, There will BIT no state
institution which will receive more
favorable consideration thar the uni
versity. We know your needs now
better than we did before. Just as
far as the resources and revenues
will permit, we will meet the institu-
TONS demands"
Secretary Anderson said that the
impression had gone out through the
state that the people of Missoula had
not done as much as they should for
the university. He said that he be-
lieved the visit had been beneficial to
the officers and that it would be for
the good of the university. The uni
versity has magnificent possibilities
and 1t seems to me that the greatest
asset which it possesses right now is
the fact that, as it's head. the uni
Versity has a great educator and a
splendid administrator. who is making
the people of the state understand the
university and who is stirring things
up. ! believe we should have a uni
versity here of which the people of
the state will be proud. one of the
really great universities rf the coun-
try. And we are In thorough sym
pathy with your desire to make it So"
Attorney General Kelly spoke
briefly, repeating the assurance which
the governor had given. THE mem
bers of the state board OF education
and of the state board of examiners
are thoroughly friendly to the uni
versity,' said Mr.. Kelly, land we
hope to help you in the ]furtherance
of the plans which you have for the
institution. We want you to get
everything which is coming to You.
We propose to see that the university
gets all the funds to which 1t is en-
titled, considering the revenues Of the
state and the demands which are
made upon them"
