The chancellor commented that making the school a four-year college would require expenditure of a “few million dollars,” and a resulting division of state funds needed for strong agricultural and engineering advanced train- ing. The bill had been given lit tle chance to get past both houses because of the lateness of the ses- sipn even before Gilchrist took h(s stand.
