cultural College of Utah may appropriately be termed
he institution of tne people for higher technical, industrial
and economic education. The buildings are the largest and best;
i s equipment the most extensive; its facilities for instruction
ic mo~M ample, Ox any institution in this intermontane region.
Most.of.its professors and instructors, twenty in number, are
specialists in the several lines they respectively represent. The
College will this year offer four year courses, leading to the
baccalaureate degree, in Agriculture, Civil Engineering, Mechanical
Engineering, Domestic Arts, and Commercial Science, and also
short courses in the same subjects.
It is believed that our people will manifest their appreciation
of the bounty of the national and territorial governments by
according to the College a liberal patronage, and the institution
only asks of them that their sons and daughters, sufficiently advanced
to avail themselves of its advantages, be encouraged to
attend the College and to share in the benefits it offers* Tuition
is free.
Fully confident that the result of such attendance, by promoting
the highest culture and usefulness of our rising generation
of citizens, will justify the reliance that the friends of
education are asked to place in this institution by aiding it in
its endeavors to advance and diffuse the benefits of higher culture
and training in our midst, I have the honor to be,
Yours in the cause of education.
J. H. PAUL,
President.
