Abilene, chairman of the reagents,

More than a score of representative citizens of Lawrence also attended the dinner.
"This meeting is one such as the re-
stents endeavor to hold each year, a re-
stitution of our experience in lea-
ning in the state," said Mr Harger.

"Often at these all-day meetings, a dinner such as this is given, and I possible ask in the members of the school community what is required. While the regents are charged with the operation of the schools, we feel that the problem of giving higher education to the boys and girls it is really a problem of all the people.
"There are more than 11,000 students in the five institutions in Kansas, with faculties totalling 900, and properties valued at more than $17,000,000.

"These are not factories, the output of these is not the output of the ordinal nature, for output of these institutions is a human product, the cash value of which can be used."

Chancellor Lindley told of the growing interest of big business in higher education each year to Kanaan of the personnel directors of great business organizations, seeking the best trained young professionals one engineering firm had set a quota of seven men from the state of Kanaan; and another school, because of their peculiar fitness, for the organization's employ. The human material Kanaan has a fine education at the Ecole.
"Kansas can not hope to compete in building with the richly endowed in-state institutions and to meet the competition of neighboring states which have no greater per capita wealth than has Kansas. It is better to hire a teacher at a neighboring state can take from this state a department at a salary higher than the dean of that School record."
