Show AMEN! AMEN! The Uox Elder Report closes a splendid splen-did two column article on trraollcge-University trraollcge-University dlillculty with tlie rolltJw-Ing rolltJw-Ing paragraph, which all friends or the college will say amen to. The He-port He-port say s: "ir under our Constitution and laws this college is not settled, tixedand permanent, then what can we say Is settled or tlxcd In this state? Why not appoint a committee to recotr. mend to the legislature that the reform re-form School be removed from Ogdcn to Salt l.ako city? Why not appoint a committee to recommend that the mental hospital be removed from Provo to Salt Lake city? Unquestionably Unquestion-ably It would be a good-thing for Salt Lake city, but how about the people or tlic State who would be taxed for the building of tho new Institution when the old arc abaudoned? Why In Utah should Agricultural and Horticulture be subordinated? Tho question of consolidation or no consolidation was decided In the Constitutional Con-stitutional convention. Utah was then placed amongst the majority or the States or the Union where the agricultural and mechanical colleges and the stato university were to'be maintained scperately. It Is not properly prop-erly an open question now. It means too grcatia loss to make the change. Tho institution Is established. The permanent, stable policy or the State must necessarily oppose consolidation. |
