Walter Lippmann, author and edi or "The University is one of the im portant centers of American intellec tual life, and would be not merely a i,ss to North Carolina, but to the whole nation if its work were serious ly interrupted." Glenn Frank, President of the Uni-jer-dtv of Wisconsin: "It will be a national calamity if ways are not found to preserve the distinguished -juality of the University of North Carolina." Owen D.

The State and h country will be much poorer if -Chapel Hill suffers a severe reverse. James It. Angell, President of Yale University: "The University of North Carolina has won for itself an enviable position as one of the truly great universities of the United States. I ,-annot, believe that it (i. e. the finan--ial situation) is so serious as to justify the ruin of what is by all odds ts (the State's) most significant .lehievement." John Grier Ilibben, former Prcsi lent of Princeton University: "I re . gard the University of North Caro lina as one of the first universities of 'he South in -power, influence and dis- ...ki it mam- i o -s not to mention the contemptuous laughter that suehj economy will evoke in the rest of the world."
