THE GROWTH OF THE UNI VERSITY.
In a recent issue of The University Kansan, an editorial appeared under the title of "Governor Stubbs. Evidently, the state executive considered the article as a thrust at his personal integrity and a few days ago an interview appeared in the "Daily
Capital" in which the Governor attempted to justify his actions in regard to the $40,000 cut in appropriations. The communication printed in today's issue from
the pen of W. A. White clearly
Y indicates the manner in which the
editorial was received by friends
by the governor.
It is not the intention of The Kansan to engage in an argument as to the particular merits of this case, but we do believe that the Governor has made some mistakes both in compiling his statistics and in his personal attitude toward the University. Governor Stubbs bases his reasons for cutting appropriations on the grounds within the past few years the appropriations have increased in greater proportion than the enrollment. It is to be regretted that the Governor by such a statement places himself directly opposed to further growth in the quality of this institution. It is fallacious reasoning to say that a certain per capita should be set for each student and that as enrollment increases, the appropriations for maintenance should increase in just the same proportion. Unless allowance is made for a proper

school, we would proceed along a line that would never tend upwards but would, in a few years lead to a deterioration. It is
A glance at a few figures relative to the University and other institutions in its class, will show that we are far behind these other schools. We find that the comparison of costs per student in various colleges of agriculture places the cost at an average of $256. The average per capita cost for the University of Kansas is $169. We also find that the average per capita cost of Universities for 1909-1910 is $232 as opposed to the per capita cost for the University of $169. We also find that in the matter of salaries of university deans, professors, associate professors, and assistant professors is below the average salaries paid, at other American Universities in our class. It is easily seen, then, that with all the so-called liberality of our legislature in the matter of appropriations, the fact remains that with a greater percentage of students we make less provision for them.
In the opinion of The Kansan the most significant paragraph in Regent W. A. White's communication printed elsewhere in this issue is the last but one. In that paragraph Mr. White says in so many words that the Governor was influenced by political considerations to make that final slash of $40,000 by exercising his veto power. That is just what The Kansan said, but Regent White intimates that the paper was unkind, unfair, and abusive in saying it. The Kansan's concession is that the University, as an institution supported by all the people of the state, should be above partisan considerations. It does not draw its support from one political party, but from the people of all parties. If a state official used it as a pawn in the political game, he is reccrent to his trust. The Kansan has no desire to abuse the Governor of Kansas. It does not believe the Governor knew what harm he was doing the University when he made that last cut. But the harm is done. It is doubly unfortunate that the Governor, who has stood as an exponent of progress has in his dealings with the University taken an attitude that is decidedly reactionary and nonprogressive.
The open letter which Governor Stubbus directed to the Regents Council is highly misleading in a few particulars. "The people who will pay almost a million dollars to the maintenance and support of the University are entitled to thumbs and not criticism, complaints and talk about closing the doors of the institution," says the Governor. It may be well to point out here that the University has not criticised the people of the state. The only criticism that has been made has

been directed against an officer who vetoed the work of the representatives of the people, who might reasonably be supposed to have some idea of what the people wanted in the way of support for state institutions.
ESSENCE OF CHRISTIANTY
Prof. Schweegler Tells of Religious Non-Essentials.
In an address before the Y. M. C. A. Thursday evening, Prof. R. A. Schwegler, of the department of education, made the statement that it is the too close attention to the minor details and petty forms, that causes the dissensions in our modern Christian religions. "One great difficulty with Christianity today, is that we have our minds fixed on the non-essentials," said Professor Schwegler. "The essence of Christianity is identical in all denominations, but it is the less important principles that create disagreements. Before Christ, men strove to get a true conception of God, but their knowledge was warped and one-sided." "Christ canie, a concrete being that might be grasped by man. He is the real personal expression of God himself, and to believe in Him is to have everlasting life. That is the true essence of Christianity."
After Professor Schwegler had concluded his address Melvin Kates gave a piano solo. The lecture was well attended.
JUNIORS STILL BACKWARD
Committee Will Throw Itself on Class Loyalty.
In spite of the appeal of the initiation committee of the Junior Prom for dates to be handed in promptly, members of the class are still lagging way behind. The night of the prom is only five weeks off, and as yet only one-half of the dates are in. The committee is undecided as to just what action to take to bring the class to realize that unless they have a complete list of dates, the final arrangements for the Prom cannot be completed; and any tardiness in finishing arrangements will detract from the success of the event. "Our only hope is to appeal to class loyalty," said a member of the committee this morning.
