Significant Facts Relative to
Implications II, Engineering
tBy the state Board of Education

In order that the members of the
legislature may have some idea as to
what needless duplication means In
dollars and cents, continued thru the
years, consider these figures relative to
the engineering department at the
university since 1905. the boards con-
tention being that, inasmuch as the
state had in 1905 at Ames a college of
engineering which has proved itself
and which had a large student body
(51O with distinguished body OF
alumni. many of whom had become
most eminent in their profession. the
state of Iowa should not have dupii-
Gated at the university this department
of higher education.
What il Has Cost-Salaries.
During the eight years from 1905,
when the School Of Applied Science
was actually established at the uni
versity, to 1912 inclusive, the total at
tendance was 1,615, an average of 202
students per year: and there has been
expended in salaries alone in the en-
gineering department at the university
the sum of s213,39s.92. These figures
take no account Of anything but the
distirctively engineering salaries. Nc
charge is made for physics. or mathe-
MATES. for English. for chemistry, for
modern languages. or for any of the
other collateral studies. AT Ames dur
ing the same period the total attend
ance was 1914, an average OF 61S. and
the amount expended for salaries was

1864 ,701.sS. Now If it had cost Is per
cent more. to take care of the univer-
sity's 2O2 students at Ames-and the
faculty assures us this is liberal es-
innate Of what the increased cost
would have been--the state would have
saved in salaries alone the sum OF
$15S,6S9.64. t5;3 -A.E& 'sut, Ns
interest and Other Charges.
1t would at the same time have saved
the interest ON the plant and equip
ment at the university, an average of
at least $S,000-per year. or $4,000 for
the eight years; also the cost OF heat
ing, janitor service, water and other
up-keep charges. which would average,
not including light, $4,000 per annum.
or $4,000 more. making grand total
of s210,6S9.64, an average Of s33,S35 per
year.
Shall This Waste Be Perpetuated?
The plans for engineering at the
university. from the beginning have
been very elaborate. For many years
they have been printing in the catalogs
cut of the main building Of the COM
pleted plant, designed to cover the ma
jor portion of city block near the
business district The additional ground
alone will cost approximately $4,000
and conservative estimate of the cost
of the proposed plant completed and
equipped is little short of million
dollars. When the department is SO
equipped. the salary roll will not be
less than $4,000 per annum.
The question for legislators to de-
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1913-02-26


termine 10 whether they wish to sane
ton this sort Of thing. Few depart
ments OF higher education are more
expensive than engineering. The sal
aries average higher than In other de-
partments. because engineers fitted to
hold faculty positions can command
large fees for their services IN the
commercial world. The equipment 'oi
engineering departments is not only
very expensive, but it Is constantly 60
ing out Of date. Everybody knows that
the up-to-date apparatus OF TODAY IL
on the scrap heap tomorrow.
The boards position Is that the state
OF Iowa needs but one engineering col
lege. and that that one ought to be
first class and thoroughly up-to- date;
and when the state has provided this
it has done its whole duty.
TIE Facts Summarized.
A study Of the statistics of these
two engineering colleges from the date
Of the founding Of the College of APP
piled Science at the university shows:
First-That approximately 80 pc,
cent of all ofathe engineering students
are enrolled at .Ames, and thatrAmes
would therefore seem to be the natura
place for engineering in Iowa.
Second-.That the decrease from the
high point in engineering attendance In
1907 has been twice as great (32.5 pei
cent? at Iowa as at Ames Q6.9 pei
cent?; and that the same differences
in favor of Ames exist in all divi-
sions-civil, electrical, mechanical and
mining.
Third-That if the 1Ss Iowa students
were at Ames, the enrolment would be
increased only 2s.s per cent, and would
total 753. or only forty-nine more than
the high water mark at Ames in 1907
when the buildings were fewer and tho
equipment less: and that therefore the
major portion of the sum expended II
salaries at Iowa could be saved by con
centrating engineering at Ames.
Fourth-That the attendance has in
creased and decreased thruout the
years uniformly. tho not in the same
ration. thus showing that both institu-

!. FIfthAThat the salary Cost per stu

UP to the Legislature.
Shall this waste be continued and in
creased? The waste Is not only In
money, but 1t is In effort as we'll. As
distinguished Iowa educator has put 1t.
..Why should the state spend its
greatest educational energy at the
points Of greatest competition rather
than at the points of greatest need?'
The demands Of the institutions are
many and urgent. We can not ade-
quately meet them If We waste a cent
It is for the legislature to decide
whether or not these expensive dupli-
cations shall be perpetuated and In
creased. The board has voted to put
stop to them at once.
The folly Of this sort Of thing seems
too apparent to call for argument. 1t
would be just as sensible and just az
defensible for the state to maintain
two colleges of medicine. two colleges
of law. two colleges Of dentistry. or two
colleges Of pharmacy as to maintain
two colleges of engineering. Yes. and

receiving a heavy mail, owing to the
prominence given the case in the
newspapers, most of them begging for
letters.
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Newett are
also receiving many letters, giving ad-
vice as how the case should be con-
Quoted. Tomorrow is a holiday and
the case goes over until Saturday. Mr..
Roosevelt is considering an invitation
to address the veterans here Memorial

Charles Willis Thompson of New

correspondent, and since 1908 political
writer for a New York newspaper,
was called to the stand.
Andrew w. Avery, of Ironton, o., a
former coal miner and later locomo-

made with the plaintiff up Lookout
mountain at Chattanooga, Tenn, in
October, 1902. He testified the colonel
had not been drinking and was not
under the influence of liquor when he
addressed the Locomotive Firemen's
convention at Huntington.
The witness said as a member Of

Senator Simmons declined to discuss

to get away from any possible further
legal complications. The party is SUPP
