Supervisor who is lo spend but u part of
liis time here, and allow the active super
vision of the University to devolve upon the
Dean of the Faculty and thereby expects
to save $3000 a year at one fell swoop. In'
the language of Senator Hitchcock, "Does
economy always economize?" Let us
see. In the first place the General Super
visor is to receive $500. Then if the
Dean is to perform the duties of active
supervision, an addition of labor will en.
title him to additional compensation oft
say at least $500. The Professors have
now more class work than they can prop
crly attend to, hence as the Chancellor
teaches the same as other Professors, his
place will have to be filled by a regular
Professor at a salary of $2000. The
Dean's time is now fully occupied. The
performance of new duties will require
time, which will necessitate an assistant
in his regular department at a salary of
$1000. Total expenditures $3500. Chan
cellor's salary $3500. This we think
shows that the founders of the University
possessed all necessary wisdom in estab
lishing, ami the Regents in maintaining,
the Chancellorship. Incidentally we
might mention that the State has paid
Chan. Fail field since he has been here
$7500. That outside of his regular Uni
ver&ity work, he has delivered seventy lec
tures. That he furnished immense assis
tance in producing the fact.s by which
the Legislature saw the necessity of an
increased appropriation. That in the lan
guage of the foremost member of the
Lancaster Co. Bar " his ufioits in saving
the University building wh"n it was all
but pulled down by Vandals were such as
to earn for him the lasting gratitude of
the entire state." That he has already
raised over $10,000, and is continuing t
raise more for the erection of a Ladies
Hall. Of course Lincoln's liberal citizens
furnished the funds, but they would not
have been purMinded to do so but for
Chancellor Fairfield's energetic efforts.
Let us hear of some other way of econo
