REMOVAL GETS SETBACK
NEWLY INSTALLED GOVERNOR
OPPOSES FARM AS UNIVER
SITY SITE.
SEPARATION IS NO HANDICAP
Consolidation With Agricultural School
Would Take Means of Support
From Many Worthy Students.
University removal was one of the
points brought out in the messages of
fix-Governor Aldrlch and Governor
Morehead yesterday afternoon In the
joint session of the house of repre
sentatives and senate The retiring
governor favored the removal of the
university to the State Farm while
Governor Morehead takes the other
stand. Without a doubt the removal
question will come up again this
legislature and the question may be
settled once and for all. On the ques
tion of removal Governor Morehead
had the following to say:
er-HareoraR
"I favor a lieral policy towards our
educational institutions. Our state
rankB among the first in the union In
her educational advantages, and I am
confident that our people want appro
priations sufficient to maintain her
standing as a progressive state in ed
ucational afairs.
"Our university has made remark
alo advances, and I am satisfied It is
In the control of splendid men, and
under wise management. This insti
tution, however, Is handicapped for
want of revenue, Us funds being
raised entirely from direct taxation.
This condition, therefore, would cause
me to be opposed to Us removal from
Its present location, especially In view
of the fact that removal would mean
n practical total loss aB far as the
the present buildings are concerned,
and would undoubtedly mean a great
sacrifice In the value of the present
site.
"It iB no serious handicap for the
agricultural college to be separated
from the main university. In its pres
ent location, the niversity 1b more
accessible to the large body of stu
dents, especially those who are com
pelled to seek employment during
their college course. This latter feat
ure cannot be emphasized too much
as the state has no more Important as
set than these self-made young men
and women who are seeking an edu
cation. In this conection I would add
that in my judgment the ofllciency of
our state normal schools could bo In
creased by placing these Instlutlons
under the control of our board of re
gents, or the board of control.
Aldrlch's Argument.
The retiring governor said In part:
"The question 1b, from a financial
standpoint would it be cheaper to
purchase more ground for purposes
of enldrglng the campuB, or erect
all new buildings from now on out

Komensky Status Practically Assured

tion List.
Practically every state In the union
Ib represented in the subscription list
to the monument of the groat Bo
homlan educator, Komensky, to be
erected on this campus The Komen
sky clubs of the United States are en
thusiastically boosting the idea both
financially and through the Bohemian
press. Miss Hrbck, who has taken
tho leading part In securing the statue,
estimates that oer one-third of the
total amount necessary has been sub
scribed. A Christmas gift of $100 was
received by the department this week
from Francis Korbel of Prague, Bo
hemia. He was formerly the United
States consul to that country Mr
Korbel evidently does not bellove In
tho educational value of marble
statuos, for he expressly provides In
his letter that tho money be used to
point out the advantages of hlghor
education to the young people of the
state. The Bohemian department re
ligiously adheres to its belief In a
Santa Claus.
