Show NOTHING could be more encouraging to the L friends of the University than the stand taken by the Deseret Desere t Evening News Here is what it says in concluding the strongest appeal that has yet appeared in defense of this institution The News as the representative of the Latter-day Latter Saints who founded this institution in their poverty and who Nho with love pride and solicitude have watched its growth during nearly half a century keep pace with theirs now calls upon them to rally to its rescue We Weare Weare Weare are confident that we do not call in vain Even in the present time of financial stringency we believe the necessary necessary ne ne- I relief will be forthcoming and that the conspiracy conspiracy con con- to cripple or destroy it for this is what the action action action ac ac- tion of the Legislature amounts to will be defeated This was the peoples people's course when money was far less plentiful in Utah than it is now But money is not the only necessity surely public spirit has not waned nor northe northe northe the disposition to patronize and support an institution so distinctively our own The calls of the district schools for more and better teachers the demands of parents for increased educational facilities and the cry of the rising generation for instruction are all louder and stronger than ever before and the necessity for a response is the greatest and most peremptory which the people feel aside from the actual necessaries of life Hence we appeal to the people of Utah to come to the rescue of their principal seat of learning 1 I It must be saved from the destruction or still worse the starved oblivion to which its foes would consign it This is Utah's opportunity to resent the slanderous declaration that her people delight in ignorance to show to all the world that she can and will place within the reach of her children all the knowledge at the command of man I 1 The existing necessity is a glorious chance for self |
