and snObbery that he has found corruption the Uni
vesy of Texas than all other departments of the
ment that the University full of dsOyaly; that il is rich
mans school, and that il is robbng the people.
If THESE CHARGES ARE TRUE, THE GOVERNOR
OUGHT IN AL GOOD C0NSCENCE TO HA LAVE SKED
LEGATION IN ORDER THAT THE FACTS MIGHT BE
KNOWN AND THE EVILS CORRECTED.
But what the facts?
He only did ask for investigation, but he did
all in his power to prevent an investigation
Contrast his conduct in this particular with that of the

The Board of Regents of the University said eve beg

The EXStudens Association of the University said to the
Senate "n the of enlightened education in all Of its
