During the recent state cam
paign, when the appropriation
for the State University was be
ing attacked, the Gazette said
little or nothing, because any
thing said during that time was
liable to be misunderstood. To
draw lines designating what the
State University and the State
Agricultural College may teach
and not each interfere in the
lines of the other, is quite diffi
cult.
That our readers may better
consider the subject, we print
below the different lines of study
authorized and permitted under
the laws of the United States,
governing the Agricultural Col
lege and the teaching of mechan
ical arts, as follows:
Schedule A. Instruction in Agriculture.

It will be seen that the above
subjects lead along agricultural,
industrial and mechanical lines.
Those who rush to the conclusion
that in an agricultural college
nothing is to be taught except
those branches which qualify one
to plow, sow and reap from the
soil, are mistaken. The law re
quires branches to be taught
which qualify the pupil, not only
with a perfect knowledge of
agriculture, but also of the me
chanic arts, which embodies
quite if not nearly all of the in
dustrial and mechanical lines.
It will be seen, however, by
close study of the branches above
given that the separation of stu
dies of the two schools can be
made, the one taking the scien
tific, theoretical, professional and
liberal arts and sciences, and the
other the industrial and mechan
ical. The most difficult subject for
division between the two schools
will be found in the branches of
without any expense whatever to
the state, except for the state to
furnish grounds and buildings.
Then why should the tax payers
of Oregon be taxed to provide a
separate and distinct institution
to teach the same branches that
are taught under the Morrill
Act?
Under this law professional,
scientific and theoretical engi
neering, and the liberal arts and
sciences are not m any sense
provided for. In these lines there
is a very broad and useful field
for the State University, and the
people of the state should supply
her with ample funds to make
her the best school in the United
States along these lines. The
State University belongs to the
educational syslera of Oregon,
and very necessarily so. It will
certainly be a disgrace to the
intelligence of Oregon if the
people allow the government of
these two schools to become in a
tangle because certain people
cannot discern that there is a
broad field of labor, along very
useful educational lines, for each
of these institutions, wherein
neicner one snouid in any way
conflict with the other. There
is a disposition with a few per
sons to involve these two institu
tions in discord. The suggestion
of placing the two schools under
the management of one board is
not a good thought. The gov
ernment of each should be under
a separate board with members
of sufficient understanding to
discern distinctly the separation
of studies which should be
marked in the progress of these
schools. It is suicidal from an
educational standpoint to permit
politicians to reduce the efficien
cy of these two great institutions
to the level of one school.
