Financial Affairs at The Pennsylvania !
State College. ;
From the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
If the statement made by a responsible
member “of the faculty of State Col
to the effect that half the members of
faculty and their assistants are leaving
the institution this fall because of inade-
quate salaries is true, it is nothing short
of a disgrace. It is disheartening to a de-
gree to find that, after spending more
than the college's annual tion
on an investigation by the State on sub-
jects that could have been handled far
more economically and scientifically by
college faculty and laboratory, this par-
simony shi be the result.
The resignations are the result of in-
adequate pay and a successful hunt for a
better paid job elsewhere. The dean of
the faculty has gone to California at a
salary of $3,000 over what he got in this
State. We do not blame the instructors.
We do blame the Legislature for its nig-
gardly policy. Asa member of the re-
maining staff puts the situation: “We are
trying to maintain a $1,000,000 a year
establishmemt on $300,000 a year.” And
State College can no more make one dol-
lar do the work of three than any indi-
vidual or corporation can in these days,
when the purchasing power of that doliar
has shrunk to about 70 cents.
State College is not merely a free school
for young farmers. Though if it were
that alone it would be worth twice what
it costs. It is a vitally important agricul-
tural experimental centre for the whole
State whose work along these lines has
been of inestimable service to the whole
community. This work has been carried
on under almost crushing handi and
is threatened with discontinuance if these
are not removed. Illinois spends $2,000,
000 a year on her State College. Penn-
sylvania spends $300,000. Comment
would be superfluous if it were not neces-
sary to impress the needless and niggard-
ly discrepancy on the members of the
Leper riends of State lope
should get after their Assemblymen
in every district and get him to line
up for $1,000,000 appropriation next
year.
While the spirit of the above editorial
is fine the facts are misleading to a de-
gree. Dean HUNT, of the School of Agri-
culture, will go to California, where he
will have unlimited funds to further de-
velop the great work he has already be-
gun in Agriculture at The Pennsylvania
State College, but so far as is known
there now none of the members of the
faculty are going with him. It would not
be surprising, however, if some of them
should later accept the greater opportuni.
ties that Dean HUNT will be able to give
them, if he so elects.
The greatest misfortune of The Penn-
sylvania State College is to be found in
what the Telegraph alludes to as “the nig-
gardly policy of our State Legislature in
the matter of its support.” The work the
institution has been doing, the strides she
has been making have arrested the atten-
tion of the whole country and naturally
other and wealthier institutions will con-
tinue to take away the men who have
been most responsible for her amazing
growth and usefulness. As it is, itis
more the environment and sentiment that
holds many of the strongest men on the
faculty there than the compensation they
receive.
We wonder if the esteemed Telegraph
will recall what it says this week when
the lobbying begins at Harrisburg next
January and both the University of Penn-
sylvania and the University of Pittsburg
will have the effrontery to claim that they
are “the real State College of Pennsylva-
nia. "If the Philadelphia and Pittsburg in-
stitutions, already richly endowed, would
not be continually holding clubs over the
heads of the Philadelphia and Pittsburg
Members we fancy that the Telegraph's
lament over the departure of an able
man from the State's test seat of
technical learning would be a of
welcome as the greatest educators of the
world assemble there.
In contradiction of the assertion of the
“prominent member of the faculty” the
following statement has been sent out by
the college authorities:

CLOSING DAYS oF THE FAIR.—With fa.
vorable weather last week the Centre
county fair, while not a big money-mak-
er, proved a success and illustrates the
possibilities of an agricultural exhibition
with good weather and a greater inter-
est by the farmers of Centre county.
Thursday was naturally the big day and
the races that afternoon, especially the
2.25 event, were unusually interesting.
In the latter race “Dunlo,” owned by
James George and Harry Carlisle's “Dr.
Directly,” paced a dead heat in the fifth
heat, and as the horses were about raced
out and darkness approaching the drivers
agreed to call it off and divide first and
second money evenly. The summaries
of Thursday's races follow.

ed him and knocked Newton out on the first bout.
The animal tried to gore him and kept bumping
and rolling him along the ground and into a
creek, where he took refuge beneath the bank.
His shrieks brought neighbors with pitchforks
and clubs who drove the animal away, liberating
Mr. Hess from his watery position. No bones
i
were broken but his limbs and body were badly
bruised.
