Description: Written two months after the original article "The influence of the University upon the State" (in the April issue) to defend the University from criticism in two articles published in The Republican (Washington, N.C.).  The attacks had accused the University of concealing its finances from the public, allowing students to neglect courses such as chemistry and misleading readers as to the university's influence by leaving out information about its  alumni's influence abroad.  This rebuttal states that the Treasurer of the Board of Trustees reports on the financial condition of the University to each session of the Legislature, that the senior class spends 6 hours per week on chemistry, geology and mineralogy, of which chemistry is the main subject, and that they had clearly stated in the title of the original article that the primary influence they were claiming for the University was within the state, as was to be expected in a young university that was only beginning to have influence abroad.
