i Cohimcnt. of Samuel F. Houston, a
tfustce, that "the denirturo of a dor-rnqn-trained
professor causes no tears
of. regret" prompted the Pcnnsylva
nian, the student daily, to make a
sharp, answer in an editorial in yester
day's' issue. '
"It is regretted, indeed," says the
publication, "that Mr. Houston has
expressed himself so apparently with
out fdrcthought regarding Doctor
Smith s training in Germany. Most of
the remarks made have been discounted
because of their very nature. Doctor
Sjmith should leave us enjoying the same
amicable relations which have charac
terized his Jong term of service."
. "' Editorial View
Kegardinjf the. salary question, the
Pennsylvania, iu'an editorial, said:
"What every one wants to sec is a
v. discontinuation of further resignations
among faculty members. There is but
one thing which will bring this about.
Thnt one thing is money. Not that our
instructors arc money mnd; if such
were the case we would have no fnrdltv.
Part of the reward for teaching comes I
fro that indescribable something
which 'we call 'love of profession.' This 1
'something' will nlways be n part of
me compensation, but it cannot be made
too large a part. Creditors do not ac
cept it in pament of legitimately con
tracted debts. The recognized need,,
then (' is for money.
"This money may be gotten in one or
three ways. Tuitions may be increased,
endowment funds may be augmented or
appeals may be made to the state for
further support. The problem is a ti
tanic one. '
"Pennsylvania has been and is a
gnjat institution, chiefly because of her
admirable faculty. The teaching staff,
after all, is the determining factor in
considering the --worth of any educa
tionalinstitution, and no one appre
ciates more than the students them
selves the inestimable value of our
bupcrb faculty as it now exists. Penn
sylvania will not continue in her great
ness, therefore, if one after one, these
powerful minds arc cut loose and drift
away to business life or other universi
ties. Wc have been so well cared for
in the past that there is no reason to
believe we will be neglected in the
future ; but it is just !s well that those
who cortrol the University be tillvc) to
these latge issues."
