A CALAMITY TO TEXAS EDUCATIONAL
INTERESTS.

IN -.
The state of Texas stands amazed.
shocked. nj the course of Governor Fergu-
son in vetoing the appropriations for the
support of the Texas University and of the
next two fiscal years. The fact that the
governors act most probably will result IN
closing these institutions for the next two
wears makes this one of the most drastic
and ut the same time one of the most IN
ldefensible acts ever committed by a gov
Iernor of this state.
There may be some grounds for the gov
errors quarrel with the existing manage
ment of the university. The Herald l. not
sufficiently posted on the subject TO dis
Icuss the merits of the difference which
threatens such unhappy results. But II
cannot be denied that it would he a calam-
Iitv 10 the educational interests of Texas
for ;he university to be closed for two
years-or for even one year or for any
considerable part of a year.

students who should have the advantage Of

ing two years. The injury will extend far
beyond these two years also. The result
will he to d%isorganize the work of the
schools. scattering and losing forever the
members of the faculty. who have made
such an enviable record for the Texas Uni
~versity and State Medical College-both Of
which rank high among American institu-
Itions of learning. II would require years
To rebuild them.
The people of Texas should lose no time
in taking steps to prevent the actual sus-
pension of the university. The governor
should be induced. if possible, 10 authorize
deficiency appropriations for the support
Of both branches. If this fail, the people
of the state should adopt the suggestion
made in Sundays Galveston News-raisc

ton to operate the university during the

doubtedly would make an appropriation 10
