Consolidation Of Colleges

Id a oonversation with a representativa of the Detroit Tribune the other day Representativo George L. Lusk, of Bay City, chairinan of the uuiversity comruittee, said that the sentiment in both hoases is favorable to the nniver3ity and that the biJl reoently noticed ontting down the appropriation from one-sixth to one-tenth of a mili would fiad few supporters. He also said he believed that the day when the legislature was opposed to the university was passed. He even predicts that at soine future time au effort will be made to abolish the agricultnral school at Lan3iog and the mining sohool at Houghton aud incorpórate them in the university. The wisdom of this oourse is apparent, he thinks. At present it is LiostiDg the state about $5,000 to gradúate a student from the mining sohool. The agricnltural sohool bas been losing groand for years and is a great expense to the state. By oombiniug both these with the nniversity hetter resulta would be obtained and the state wonld save money.
