UNIVERSITY
NOT "RICH
The following letter appeared In
the Albany Democrat not long ago:
To the Editor:
What la the matter with some of
the people of our beloved state of
Oregon? Why do they fight against
their own Interests? Is It a fact
that our citizens do not believe In
education, higher education? And
can a state institution exist without
reasonable support from the state?
J am not opposed to denomination
al schools. I believe In them. I am
not opposed to the State Agricultural
College. We need that, too. In fact
we need all our schools. Hut we can
not do without a university, a place
where girls and boys with limited
means can get an education that will
prepare them for good positions. Ex
amiuo If you will the papers that
contain the positions that are filled
by the class of 1907. Now, there
are boyB, bright, Intelligent boys,
who are working their way through
college, doing any kind of legitimate
work they can get.
Some writers said through the Or
egonlan that the profeseors of the
University were a set of ungodly
men. That is not true. The teach
ers are, from the President down to
the assistants, members of our lead
ing churches, with a few exceptions,
and not only members but better and
more efficient men and women I nev.
er know anywhere. The school does
not claim to be a religious Institu
tion and yet they are laying the
ton nil ill Ion for a betterment of men
and women. A prominent business
man- told me a few days ago that the
saloon element were going to vote
against the appropriation, because
the professors worked so hard in
Eugene for closing the saloons.
And now why are some tax-payers
making so much noise about the
appropriation? .lust go to work and
figure out how much more our taxes
will be on account of raising this
money for the university and you
will wonder why any reasonable man
objects to It. Lest you do not under
stand the advantages of the state Un
iversity, I will give my experience In
this matter. Almost eight years ago
I was left with n little money and
one child to educate. I lived In Al
bany. I love the place, for better
people can be found no place on
earth, and It was In that place that
I spent the hnpplest days of my life
and yet after I lost everything but
my little girl and a few hundred dol
lars, 1 knew that, although If Cod
spared my health 1 could make a liv
ing, yet It would be Impossible to
educate my child. So 1 decided to
come to Eugene! and here with the
opportunities that a state
lnstitu -
tion affords. I havp irfveu mv dmiirh -
tc-r nn education that has enabled
her to secure a lucrative position,
and hns prepared her as a University
graduate lo gut a situation in almost
uny business. '

Mr. Editor, in three years I ha'c
OF OREGON
MAN'S" SCHOOL
come to love the University of Ore
gon and when 1 hear slanders against
her name it is hard for me to re
frain from using strong language,
and the person who says the lack
of financial ability causes any man
"not to be wanted at the University
of Oregon," Is either misinformed or
Is willfully misrepresenting the
truth. IT .
If these young people from Hub
bard were refused admission it was
because of insufficient preparation
in their studies. The University Is
not a high school, but when any one
who has satisfactorily completed
four years study above the eighth
grade, such a course as is offered in
thp hlirh m-hoals. there is no question
about their admission to the Univer
sity. Neither does each student have
to help av for a football coach.
All football expenses are paid
from the receipts at match games
with O. A. C. with other colleges,
and the annual game with Mulno
mah club. The student can go or
not as he likes and there are no
questions asked.
Therefore when a man says that
the poor man's son has not just as
good a chance, or is not respected
Just as much, as a rich man's son
at the University of Oregon, or that
students pay out of their pockets
for the football coach, he is either
misinformed or Is wilfully misrep
resenting the truth.

XKWCOMEIl TKIXS why
V. OF O. SHOULD PROSI'KK
Brownsville, Or., May 5 To to
Headers of the Journal: I should
like to give some reasons why it
seems to me every voter should rally
to the support of the bill making an
approorylatlon for the State Univer
sity of Oregon.
rhe writer is an Eastern man, and
has no local, property, commercial or
sentimental interests influencing
what follows: The writer is a teach
er, and has invested enough in Ore
gon real estate to be able to view the
question from the standpoint of a
taxpayer as well as a teacher.
First Oregon should adopt a per
manent and liberal policy toward her
educational institutions. It Is grati
fying to any. one Interested In educa
tion to know that the State Agricul
tural College Is on a sound financial
basis. It Is a shame to a prosper
ous community that its Slate Univer
sity Is being weakened by a narrow
and penurious policy. The opportuni
ty now presents Itself for the people
of Oregon to declare their belief in
1 higher education. They should do
I so.
Second The high school system of
Oregon has come to stay. It has
proved its right to live by giving
boys and girls' training which a few
years ago they could receive only by
going to educational centres at con
siderable expense. To have effective
high schools we must have well-trained
teachers. The state should pro
vide a school equipped to furnish
strong instructors for her high
schools. Many of our high school pu
pils are ambitious to get university
training. Their aspirations should
not be smothered, neither should It
be necessary for them to go to some
other state to find a well-equipped
j state school
The Slate University
i Third The Slate University is a
warni friend of the common school
It has advanced the Interests of the
public schools whenever it could do
so. To argue otherwise Is contrary
to facts. Its own existence depen-ls
11 mm the public schcols. This Is the
source from wh!"h It mn.-.t draw Us
new streams of life. Many of those
wh.i are now oppo-'ing the apronri
ntioii a:eea: to prejudice by declar
ing that the money should he with
held an I rlvii to the public schools.
The ei ii api)r:i;i:-ia:!rn :'e:t !'-.;:
over th" ::i:e would give veiy little
aid to the public schools. The Influ
ence the University has had and will
have In lif;ln:: the common schools
to a higher plane is worthy vastly
more than the money outlay. The
higher schools furnish a summit to
which every true teacher delights to
lead the pupil. There are a few warm
friends of the common school who
will vote against the appropriation
for the University, but. we believe
they are working ngalnst their own
Interests: and mark this, every op
ponent of a progressive pubic school
policy Is lined up against the Univer
sity. The friends of the common
school who are fighting the Univer
sity are with the wrong crowd. They
should come over with those w-.io fa
vor a progressive policy from the
kindergarten to the university.
Fourth - The appropriation of
?1-.".0IM annually Is not excessive.
Salaries In many instances are now
unpaid. This Is unjust. New equip
ment Is continually neede 1. I.ahora-1
tones should hi supplied with the
lat"st apparatus. Oregon is In thai
stage of development where a strong
school Is needed one that will com
pare favorably with the universities
I of other states.
