 the housing, and for the service of all who desire to fit themselves for useful careers?
 The foremost task of Alabama is to meet this situation. A democracy owes it's youth the fullest measure of oppor- tunity by which they may profit. Their gain is the states gain in terms of leadership in a life of increasing com plexity. The university has no passion for numbers as such. It does, however, welcome the opportunity for Overex- banding usefulness to the state which its increased responsibilities bring. For nearly a century it has touched young lives and enriched them to the eternal good of the state. It is now faced with the challenge to perform on a larger scale this same great task. Will the state whose servant the university is refuse it the privilege of accepting this challenge? No American common wealth has ever had a finer or more appealing or more vital opportunity than that which now presents itself to Alabama. For the sake of our future prosperity and for the sake of civiliza- tion itself we cannot afford to turn a deaf ear to this supreme call.
 Have State Pride
 There is natural desire on the part of ambitious young men and young women throughout Alabama to attend their own state university. This is true of every American commonwealth. The University of Alabama, located in a community of exceptional cultural, social, moral and religious environment, has all of the advantages and none of the disadvantages of a community that is either distinctly urban or distinctly rural. Its long and honorable history makes a necessary and logical appeal to the imagination of youth. Its tra- ditions and standards are impelling. It is affectionately known as the Cap stone," a designation that attests the loyalty and the confidence of it's friends. The broader vision and experience that come to student is an institution of many separate schools and departments gives inspiration to him and fits him for larger service. This is quite as true of young women as it is of young men. We live in a, new day of vast diversity of interests, and women of spirit and ambition are now demand ing equal opportunities with men.
 Perhaps there are we'll meaning peo- pie who will suggest, as a remedy for reducing the number of students ad- mitted, an artificial standard. To this the obvious answer is CD that the na- tional 15-unit standard is already being enforced; (2) that the work of the uni

south of Washington, with the single exception of the University of Texas. We have more students than the Univer- sity of Virginia, which a decade ago was three times as large. It is a tremend- ous responsibility. It is also a tremend- ous opportunity. The university will become precisely what the state is will ing to make it. Conversely the state will, in it's larger intellectual, social, economic and spiritual life, become largely what the university is enabled to make it. There is no escape from this fact. What is our ideal? What kind of civilization do we desire to build? Shall we be penny wise and pound fool ish ?" That is the great outstanding question of the hour. There is DO ques- tion that education is the foremost task of our civilization and the most worthy object of our philanthropy. There is no question that the material prosperity of a commonwealth is directly related to its educational facilities. We can not wisely disregard the facts of, history and of common experience. If we desire to build really great state, there is only one way to do it. Let us not deceive ourselves. The economic status of the AS American common wealths bears intimate relationship to their educational policies. That is lit- erally true. Surely we shall be selling our birthright for mass of pottage if we heed the voice of the reactionary and of the selfish individualist, while we turn a deaf ear to the pleading cry of wisdom and experience.
 I have taken the liberty of present ing this great matter to you as the legal ly constituted guardian of the Univer- sity of Alabama. Most of you were trained here. All of you are patriotic citizens of Alabama, devoted to her service and loyal to her traditions. appeal to you for your counsel and for your help.
 Respectfully submitted.

Holcombe, Jr., for mer sheriff of Mobile county and one of the defendants acquitted in the re- cent rum ring case here.
 Investigations here disclosed infor- nation to the effect that HolcOmbe, complainant against Boyles and re- garded as the principal witness for the prosecution. has gone to New York, supposedly to attend the democratic na- tional convention, which is scheduled to open next Tuesday. It is considered doubtful that the county solicitors of flee will attempt to proceed with the trial unless Holcombe is available as witness.
