Contrariwise, the faculty stands preeminent in the nation-it has no superior in quality. The faculty is not equaled in standard by any other Southern state university, but prac- tically all of them outrank it as to physical condi- tions. True, we are progressing, slowly and tor- tuously, as is evinced by the new Engineering and Agricultural buildings, which are inferior to none in the country, but there are multitudinous other features of the University that need building up badly. To accomplish this the expenditure of con- siderable money will be necessary. So fat the GOVERNOR HARVEY PARNEU- state legislature has not been over-benevolent in its appropriation of funds for the University. It is hoped that the next session will provide the requisite finances to enable the University to progress as it should. The main hope of the University lies in Governor Harvey Parnell, who is one of its strongest advo- cates. He has lived up to his promises and worked for a greater University of Arkansas in particular, and for the whole field of education in general. In the person of Governor Harvey Parnell, the University has not only a friend but an ardent supporter, and one that will mean much to the building up of the University of Arkansas educationally. The present building program entails the construction of a new library building, a building to house the law students, a new building for chemistry and physics, a student union building, a new dormitory, a new commerce building, a new gymnasium, and eventually a building to replace University Hall. When com- pleted, this will give the University of Arkansas one of the most complete plants of any university in the South.
