The Library

Last we come to the library with
all it's powers and possibilities for
playing an organic part in the build
ing of q more creative and beautiful
North Carolina. More powerful for
economic recovery than any turbo-
generator in the South is this great
generator of light and power directed
by one of the foremost Librarians in
the country. The streams, which come
running down from the past, bearing
in their currents the intellectual and
spiritual treasures Of the race, are
stored up in this great reservoir
whose release of living waters, trans
ferred into power, energize and liber-
ate the productive power Of every de-
partment Of the University. To cut
down on the central station is to cut
into the life and energies ct de
partments. The savings at the CEN
ter are multiplied into wastes in all
divisions of our life. The library
staff. with two already cut of, is
cut 10 per cent in salaries and 25 per

slows up the service to more than
a thousand students who constantly
use the library, decreases the pos
sible turnover, and impairs efficiency
generally. The book fund, cut this

The Medical Faculty

In a simple building the medical
faculty works away all day long with
its limited number of eighty -one
students chosen for this two year
course from large number Of North
Carolina boys. This medical school
has perhaps been the greatest single
agency in tieing aspiring young doc
tors to their native soil. Deep be-
comes their rootage here in the soil
and traditions of North Carolina.
They go away to finish at the great
clinical medical schools where they
rank among the top men, win choice
terneships, and then come hack more
often to practice in North Carolina.
Think Of cutting the salary of the
man who has for almost thirty years
been the head of school of such
sound and thorough work with all its
wholesome influence in the state to-
day Another professor who by train
ing and personality could have COM
manded practice and income Of
large figures chose rather to teach
others the way of life in manner
that rises above inadequate assistance
and cramped facilities. Among the
other able men in the medical school
is one who has refused offers of al
most twice his salary from three of
the great medical schools of the
country He works all the time,
great teacher and famous among
pharmacologists the world over for
his researches in the kidney. The
results of his work, in a little lab
oratory among adverse conditions,
have been used by American and Euro
pean doctors in treating trench ne
phritis, in protecting kidneys against
damage by anaesthetics, and in build
ing up the kidney against the strains
of pregnancy. These men simply can
not carry on their work with pro-
posed cuts in laboratory supplies and
materials from the present low fig
ure of $1,000 to S3,400, with student
assistants cut from 5000 to $3.50, and
with confscation by the budget Of
80 per cent of the student laboratory
fees for non-laboratory purposes. The
budget confiscates large proportions
Of student. laboratory fees in all de-
partments of the University, mid
stream this year and all next year.
We can but believe that mistake has
been made without knowledge of its
unfairness to the students in direct
confscation of their money for other
purposes than for which it is express
ly paid. Such a practice is inde
fensible on the part Of self-respect
ing state.
Also indefensible is the taking over
in the budget of ten per cent of the
income of the Kenan Fund, the
Ledoux and other fellowships into the
general fund for the state budgetary
ALLEGATION. This shows q reckless and
wasteful disregard of the effects of
such budgeting on the possibility OF
future endowments.

terials for the classification and use

possibility Of donations and endow-
ments so necessary for the enrich
ment of the University above the

priations. 1t is foolish to be penny
wise in a great central station and
short-circuit the power.

IA.
Damage To Schools.
In the School of Commerce the
dean, who has combined the close
personal touch Of a small college and
the advantages Of able specialists in
large university, is dumbfounded
to find that, in addition to the ten per
cent cut, all his assistants in twelve
basic laboratory courses of long
standing have been left out Of the
budget altogether. Without them
courses cannot be given.
l will not here go into the story
Of how a great engineering school has
been laid low by the ruthless figures
Of the budget. The salary cut is
down for II per cent; the Office staff
from 1882 to 81 400 which leaves out
the dean and the assistant dean and
leaves the secretary to run the school
on salary Of s140O. The dean, emf
nent and beloved among American
engineers, carried a heavy admins
trative load this year and overtaxed
his powers, weakened by disease and
he strain Of the year The mechani-
cal engineering department, already
understaffed, is further crippled for
carrying its present overload. The
professor who in electrical engineer
ing has Loyalty carried the work of
two men to bridge gap has his sal
ary cut 10 per cent. The budget pro-
poses to hamper the work of an engi-
neer whose works in the mathematics
Of curves is fundamental to modern
highway engineering; of another who
authority on waterpower and an
other whose Investigations are push
ing forward sanitary engineering
along a whole new frontier-all re-
lated directly to the prosperity and
welfare of North Carolina.
The summer school, oldest in
America and which last summer car
ried the heaviest load in its useful
history, is practically destroyed as
a school of university grade. The
cut in the cost of teaching is II per
cent below the 1880 level which is
already lower than such costs in the
summer school of any university in
the Association of American Univer-
sites. We cannot sincerely continue
this school on a university basis.
The Extension Division, one Of the
most useful agencies of public service
in the state, distinguished in America
for its values to whole state, has
been vitality crippled in it's wide ca
pacities for carrying the manifold
services of the University into the
schools and homes of the people. 1t
has been cut in its appropriation from
$4,000 to $4,000 or 80 per cent.
The Extension Division earns SO per
cent of it's expenses. The cut OF 80
per cent, which includes a cut Of
$4,000 in personal service, cuts down
the earning power of the Division Of
which the budget takes no account
but requires that with SO per cent less
in appropriations the division earn
SO per cent instead Of the customary
SO per cent of its expenditures. The
Extension Division thus crippled will
have to cut into many wide and vital
services such as "The News Letter"
correspondence courses, Institutes,
statewide high school contests,
and package Libraries, asked for
by towns, schools, the press
association, civic clubs, women's clubs,
parent-teachers associations, and
homes 1t is denial of human needs
and the waste of the assets of a great
plant to cut off the University from
the people back home.

Quality Of University Work Damaged

Thus we might go on illustrating
in all departments and divisions the
damage already done in the teaching
life by Illustrations and fears caused
by the cut. In this way most serious
destruction is going on in the quality
Of the life Of the University.
This destruction Of quality, these
losses in men and appropriation,
shook the morale Of our faculty last
spring. Entirely too much time OF
the faculty was misdirected from the
main business Of study and teaching
to the perplexities Of cruel adjust
ments. Necessities Of lowered ex-
istence crowded out opportunities LOT
the productive life. There has hardly
been . day this year that the stan at
Chapel Hill has not had to wrestle
nth sarne ntohlem Of the cut, com
pensation in revenues, and make
shifts Of adjustment to hold the BODY
and soul of the University together.

Fund at Former Level Necessary

Fund at Former Level Necessary
We place our ease in your hands
and remind you that the Governor,
himself, views the effects of these
budget reductions with grave concern.
These reductions in appropriations,
s875,000 to $7O0,0O07to $4,000, con-
stitute total reduction in appropria-
tons of over 100000, of over "a
per cent since July the first. A great
university, loved in North Carolina
by the people from whose life she
came and to whose life she returns,
distinguished among universities for
her faculty, graduate school, and
scholarship, and honored across con-
tinent for the freedom and democracy
of her spirit, is about to be struck
down by the figures in this budget.
These figures constitute a work of de-
struction without relative parallel
in the sixty years since the carpet
baggers closed it's doors. We ask
you simply for the restoration of the
life giving figures Of 1915, 900 as ap-
propriated by the legislature for the
present year which constitute the
minimum basis for the maximum life
of the University Of North Carolina.
The request for this restoration
comes out Of the history of a people
who, in the midst Of Civil War and
desolation, maintained their educa-
tional institutions against great de-
pressive odds; who, in the midst of
the postwar ruins turned to the
schools and colleges as the way Of re-
covery and advance; and who caught
the profound significance of the
philosophy Of Lee when, above the
wreckage Of 1867, he called to the
depressed spirit of broken people
with these simple words, THE thor
ough education Of all classes of the
people is the best way to bring pros
perity to the South" As he turned
his back on offers Of wealth and ease
and rode off on old Traveller on his
four day journey through the hills to
take up his work Of restoration in the
strategic college in the Valley of Vir-
ginia he was an example to his and
our generation.
We, in our turn, are now in the
midst of a great depression. There
are those who would eonseientiously
turn US back on the old road of ig
norance, poverty, and despair. They
would, because Of the great load Ct
our investments, jeopardize the value
Of the investments by lowering the
quality of the life for which the IN
vestments were made.
We must tighten up but we must
hold on. We must not throw away
what we already have. We will say
with Foch, below the harne in the
midst of his great depression, my
right flank is broken and my left
flank is beaten back; We will attack
with the center" With the school
in the center, fanked by farm and
factory, we will hold ON now against
the better day that is to come.
