now proposed to reduce its support

maintaining university standards" he
said. I'VE may we'll question whether
this state or any state can afford to
take such serious backward step.
In this connection 1t may interest
you to know that President Black

three instructors and II students, all
below high school rank, received a
salary, so years ago. higher than the
maximum fixed by the recent Initial

Versity of 5000 students, including q
graduate division, and with faculty
of $50. We know that a university,
like a business concern, must obtain
Its personnel on the competitive mar
ket, and it should be obvious that
competent professors cannot be re-
tanned by an institution if 1t is able
to offer them no more than the SAL
aries Of inexperienced beginners in
the standard universities of the coun-
try"

DR.. Abbott said the institution has
grown from an enrolment Of 70 In
1883 to 5000 in 1892.

 GIVEN CHILDREN
 FOR DPHTHERIA

Rome, May 1-(UP)-Ten chill dren have died in the provinces of Venice and Rovigo after vaccina- tion with faultily- prepared anti diphtheria serum, it was announc- ed today. III effects to minor de- gree also occurred among children who were vaccinated in several towns in the provinces of Milan. Varese.. Genoa and Treviso. The condition of a majority of the lat ter was improving. No new cases were reported in the last two days.
 It was discovered that the faulty antitoxins were prepared for serum from the Therapic Institute at Naples, which was closed by order of Premier Benito Mussolini. Prof. Camille Terni, director of the in- stitute, and Mario Testa, his assist ant, were arrested and denounced to the courts. The children were placed in hospitals and treated by the best specialists. Mussolini di- rccted the prefects of the provinces personally to organize assistance for the children and their families. Inasmuch as the normal period of incubation for the majority of those vaccinated has passed or is about to pass. 1t was hoped no further casualties would occur.
