Legislative Funds "This matter is so imbedded in the public mind and people are so sold on the move," he declared, "that I be lieve the legislature will provide the funds for the purpose. And I hope many universities in other states will do likewise because I feel the future dividends will be incalculable." Governor J. M. Broughton, presid ing over his full session of the Board, appointed Bellamy as chairman of a committee to submit the . proposal to the editor of the Daily Tar Heel on Wednesday, Harland explained his "numerous" reasons for "not choosing to run and tossing his hat in the ring" and left the field open to "the Bunsen burner man, the gneiss "man, and the quadra tical one."
