true of this noble institution which will be of such a vast benefit to ogden its benefits can to a certain extent be comprehended from the mere were fact that salt lake though that is 13 not generally known has offered to pay y 0 off ff the present debts on the ogden oge e university if the institution is granted them and located there isow now is therefore the time for ogden to step to the fron fronk and preserve her pre prestige aUge to allow any other cit city to wrest from her that which ebe she las has nobly fought for and secured sirrifa simply through neglect inactivity and lac lack of public spirit would be he a blow from which ogden would find it difficult to recover |
