 fl91 [ THE CRIMSON I ll 8 Ripon College and ihe State University Till I rustecs and Faculty ot Ripon College arc promi to acknowledge the I ni- versity ot Wisconsin as tin- center of the educational life ami influence ot the state. To attempt imitation ot the university is absurd. Each institution, ven frankly and clearly, admits the unique place of the other. There is splendid har- mony between the institutions and a mutual understanding. Our credits are t reel} and equally exchanged. Our courses are mapped out with reference to the university experience and icquircmcnts. Several of our ptofessots have had their undergraduate or graduate work at Madison. Next tear we secure our third coach ot Athletics from Madison—the three being E. (). Stichin. II. (). Ofstic. and Harold « )lson. During the year at Ripon College the following deans heid cont'erenci with our faculty and students reviewing our situation in reference to the professional work at Madison: M. H Hacrtcl. K. L. Hatch... T. K. Turneaure Win. A. Scott.. H. S. Richards C R. Bardeen. . .....Advanced Standing ...............Agriculture Mechanics and Engineering ..................Commerce ..................... Law ................ Iedicine Through the co-operation of college and town, for the fifth tear we have had a Farmers’ Course. The college gymnasium and assembly room are used and the farmers arc making a generous and increasing response to this movement. Toi the third year next summe:. Ripon City on the college campus is placing the I niversity Chautauqua. I he President of Ripon College is on the I niversit;. Kxtension. About thirty-live former students of Ripon College are now at Madison taking their graduate or undergraduate work. Ihe leading members of faculty and administrative force in Madison speak in highest terms of the work that Ripon College is doing, and Ripon College has words onh of grateful appreciation for the help of the university in main of the common problems. The college and the university each has its unique place, and each has merits which the other does not attempt to claim. Pk sidcn't Silas Evans.
