Maurice Toulme, Mack Ryan Loren Robinson Robert Gillett Wallace Weber C. Harold Hippler merely wish to refer to this news item in support of the contention that the university can benefit the state by a discussion of leading political, social, and economic questions, and that aca- demic discussions are frequently of use to the man of the world. The sys- tem of extension lectures is another example of what we may and do do to give the taxpayers greater return for their money, and to encourage them to give us more support. The people are not more eager to receive assistance of the university in solv-( ing their problems than the university is to serve the people. CHEMIST POSITIONS TO BE FILLED BY CIVIL SERVICE.

OFFICES: Ann Arbor Press Building Maynard Street. THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1912. Night Editor-H. Beach Carpenter. The University and the State. So often has our usefulness to the State and the usefulness of universities generally to the world outside been called in question by newspapers, muckrakers, and "practical" business men, that it is consoling to read of the prospective attendance of several Kal- amazoo business men at the North- western-Michigan debate tomorrow night in search of light on the doc- trine of the recall of public officers. It is just about a year since one of the Detroit dailies suffered an eruption as the result of our debating the in- come tax question with constitution- ality conceded. That was cited as an illustration of the manner in which colleges rob their discussions of prac- tical value by emasculating the prop- osition, and sundry generalizations fol- lowed anent the uselessness of aca- demic inquiries and investigations.
