Harward Lumpoon. u w Unreasonable Opposition. sl In announcing himself as a can- 1E4 didate for the Legislature, in New- tl herry County Dr. S. Pope uses the following language: W "I am1 opposed to an appropria- u1 tion to the State University unless a the standard is raised so as to make it an institution giving a I higher education than can lbe giv- a en br our colleges, so that young f< men graduating at sectarian and rs, other colleges can then, if they de sire, take a post-graduitate course 71 there. As it now is, it is a com pe- tI ting and destroyinug agent to tile! N different colleges in the State.''
