EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
Failing adequate provision, the University will be obliged (1) to abandon a large part or all of its research activities, and to sink to the level of a second or third rate institution; (2) to limit the number of students, both in advanced and entering classes; (3) to be content to see more of our able staff leave us, and provide for our boys and girls intruction of second or third rate quality; (4) to abandon some established departments altogether. To resort to any one of these means poorer education of the young, fewer and less valuable contributions to the wealth and welfare of the people by research, and dependence of the proud State of Illinois on other institutions to give its children first class training and promote its welfare. What shall we do about it? There is only one answer. 4 C •
