The Needs of the University.
The readers of the WEEKLY will recall the interesting variety of responses which appeared in these columns recently when members of the Faculty answered the question, "What is the greatest need of the University?"
This question addressed to the members of the Board of Regents has elicited these responses:
REGENT CROWELL: A realization of the fact by the people of Kansas that the University is part of our public school system, made so by our laws, and in view of the fact is entitled to the support of every good citizen without regard to either denominational or political affiliations. If our legislature would realize that such is the case we would receive generous appropriations for the building up of the University in all its departments, and could make the University of Kansas one of the greatest institutions of learning in the West.
REGENT SCOTT: "What is the greatest need of the University?" in one word, Money. With plenty of money a gymnasium, a fine arts hall an addition to Snow Hall, an observatory, 100,000 books, an increased Faculty, and all the other things that go to make up a great university, would be speedily added unto us.
REGENT SAMS: First—It should be the duty of the voters and tax-payers of our state to remove the University so far from politics, that it would be impossible for the Board governing the same, or the state administration, or the chairman of any state central committee of any political party to use it for political purposes.
Second—The bright young men and women who are graduating from our University each year are a just reward to the people of Kansas, who have in the past so generously sustained it.
Third—Let every friend of the University advertise it by speaking a good word to the taxpayers as well as to the young people who contemplate a University education.
