AS part of its publicity plans, the
Boise chamber of commerce has had
prepared series of articles, each
dealing with one of the educational
institutions of the state. The article
on "The University of Idaho," is re-
leased for publication today.
The University of Idaho
The scope and facilities of a great
university, together with the loyalties
and personal contacts of small col
lege, such is the University of Idaho
at Moscow. 1t has been founded and
developed upon the principle of SER
vice to the commonwealth, and there
d
men more unselfishly devoted to their
task than is the university staff. Pro-
fessOrS take keen interest in their
students, administrative officers di-
rect their careers out into life, and
the students themselves live simply
and democratically in spite of their
widely varied interests.
Back in 1889, when far-seeing men
established the University of idaho
on i,otr +lD Of
the new state, they gave it a f1exibil-
ity which would enable it to develop
as the needs and resources of the state
should justify. There was the basic
college of letters and science, with
instruction in the application of the
sciences to practical arts and indus
tries, such as agriculture, engineer
ing, mining and commerce. They pro-
vided that as time went on and the
young state grew, these arts and in
dustries might be developed into dis
tincts schools or colleges of-the uni
versity. Professional schools also
We're to be created as the need arose.
According to this program the uni
versity has gradually grown and ex-
under the guidance of admin
of large wisdom and wide
vision, until it has reached it's pres
ent scope 1t has not been over-pro
noted Right now there are many
earnest and well-intentioned citizens
Urging the creation of various live de-
Dartments into additional colleges to
what we have already. Each year
Idaho students go into other states
where there are such colleges. When
he time is fully ripe and conditions
we shall no doubt develop
hem We must be conservative with
public money.
The University of Idaho in it's pres
mt organization embodies seven sep
rate schools and colleges, sharing
he same campus and so coordinated
hat they have many facilities in COM
mon. Some of these colleges offer
diversity of courses with
II themselves. The college of agri-
culture indeed includes the work of
he state experiment station and sub
station farms and the agricultural
extension division. The summer
school, while most closely related to
he school of education, provides op-
1ortunity to pursue courses offered
n other colleges of the university.
These main divisions, with their en-
during the present college
hey offer for specialization, are as
