Show Gov.-Elect Spry Visits Logan Guest of College and Trustee Smart Governor-elect Spry Is adopting a wise course In preparing himself for his gubernatorial duties by visits about the state to feel the pulso of public opinion and to examine into the needs of the state Institutions. He arrived in Logan at 5:35 last Friday afternoon and was met at the station by the college col-lege team and, after a short drive about town, was the guest of Trustee Thomas Smart at dinner. The other guests were Congressman Howell, Senator Sen-ator Bullen, Bishop Adams and President Presi-dent Wldtioe. With such dignitaries about the board the conversation could notfall.toWof a highly political politi-cal and pedagogical nature and many plans were discussed for the welfare of the state and Its institutions. After spending the night at Mr. Smart's, Mr.iSpry was about town on Saturday morning visiting old friends and making mak-ing many new ones and later in the morning in compauy 'with Trustees Smart and Adams and President Wldt'soe was-driven by Prof John T. Calne III up to the power plant at the mouth of the canyon, and, waj shown the proposed site for a college power house for the exclusive use of the college. When Mr. Spry learned of the exorbitant price that the college col-lege is obliged to pay the local companies com-panies for electric light and power and saw how cheaply a plant could be constructed con-structed at the head of the Logan and Richmond canal, he realized quickly the saving that would come to the stato and expressed himself as .being heartily in favor of the plan. At his return to the college he partook of lunch in the college dining room In company with all the members of the faculty who were in town. Senator Bullen and Trustees Smart and Adams were also present. Rarely has the domestic do-mestic science department served a better lunch and it has served many and excellent ones In its long and useful use-ful career. After lunch Mr. Spry was shown about the college buildings and farm and listened sympathetically as the needs of the college were made clear to him; need of a gymnasium; of a woman's building, and most of all an agricultural building. Like a wise and diplomatic office holder he made no definite promises, but It was easy to see that he takes a deep genuine interest in-terest in the Agricultural college and will use his Influence constantly to build It up In every possible way. |
