What effect this nation-wid- e Land College system of practical educaton has had upon the amazing development of the American standard of living and the American utilization of power In industry it

the American conception of universal education The United States Bureau of Education upon invitation is now conducting the most elaborate and extensive educational survey ever undertaken — a survey of the American Land-GraColleges It is believed that this survey which will occupy two or three years will reveal the large place which these typically American institutions occupy in national economy

position Imposes upon us m educationl leader ship in the state Our concern is that we may continue worthy of the great trust assigned to us In the discharging this obligation need is not only for scholarship which implies an understanding of science and the arts and their application the need also Is for deep smeerity and an understanding of the strivings and the ideals of our people It is a great pleasure to be able to report that tne President of the United States on May 22 approved the Kapper Ketchum Bill which provides $20000 a year additional iunds to each of tne states 9 his

the urge of all science it is the command of God Science is jSSfhteous undertaking For the tune being we must be content to carry on research to any large extent only in those fields which are subsidized by the Federal Government As soon as the wealth of the State permits or private endowments are available we should make research a part of of practically every department College as well as others throughout the nation has under the federal and state laws creating it 'been broad and liberal in its course of study To proauce broadily trained cultured citizens was asmuch in mind as to produce effi- i cient industrial leaders It is lnter-estn- g to note that in the act ol 1888 the Lund Bill the State of to Utah prescribed in addition professional and technical studies that the course of study should include “such other scientific and classical studies as shall promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in thr StVerW ‘ IJurSttits and” prwtssions of life" In considering our future as well as our past it is important to remember the high plane on which the Utah Agricultural College is placed in the Constitution of Utah and in the Federal and State laws relating to the Institution Article X Section 2 of the Constitution May 8 (adopted 1895 states that: ‘The public school system shall include kindergarten schools common schools high schools and Agricultural College and a University Section 4 of the Constitution states that: “The location and establishment by existing laws of the University of Utah and the (Utah) Agricultural College are hereby confirmed and all the rights immunities franchises and endowments heretofore are hereby granted or conferred perpetuated into said University and Agricultural College respec- tively” STATUS OF THE COLLFGE It is clear that the Constitution of the State intended that in addition to the elemenary THE schools there should be two stitutions of higher Utah the University It is further lege these two are part ’ in- learning in and the Colimplied that of the public school system They may be described as the two arms of the body independent in government and coordinate in function of equal importance in the state plan and while provided with independent government each is connected to the body of the public school sys tern The constitution not only est ablishes the location of the Col
