Sold The Grant For A Song
A country exchange tired of hearing Lhe harping common in some quarters about the expense of the University says: If the government of the United States gives to Detroit $2,000,000 for its public building, it will be giving more for one building, than has ever been given to the famous University of Michigan for all of its buildings, equip ments and everything else witti it. And yet we hear no particular outcry against the extravagante of such a building. In tact the city of Detroit deserves one of the best government buildings in the country, and everyone hopes she may be successful in obtainingit. The government gave to Michiaan University sufflcient land, had it been managed and cared for, and the money securinsr from its sales carefully husbanded, to have left the university nearly if not entirely independent. Hut the grant was sold for a song, practically, and the state receive the benefit, so the átate can afford to be generous.
