Faculty to Present the Claims of the University

Faculty to Present the Claims of the University.

A committee from the Board of Curators called upon the Faculty June 4, 1879, and stated that it is the desire of the Board that the Faculty, during vacations, present to the people of Missouri the claims of the University; and that some systematic plan should be adopted to effect any good, it was then

Resolved by the Faculty, That we have heard with pleasure the remarks of the Committee of the Board of Curators, in reference to making known the claims of the University among the people of the State, and promise hearty co-operation in the common effort to build up and make known the State University—some systematic plan to be decided on before the Faculty leave for the summer.

In pursuance of this idea, the congressional districts of the State are, by lot, distributed among the members of the Faculty as follows:
1st district Prof. Blackwell.
2d district Prof Lowry.
3d district Prof Schweitzer.
4th districts Prof Fleet.
5th districts Prof Fleet.
6th districts Prof Fleet.
7th districts Prof Tracy.
8th districts Prof Thomas.
9th districts Prof McAnally.
10th districts Prof Spencer.
11th districts Prof Ficklin.
12th districts Prof Can thorn.
13th districts Prof Fisher.
14th districts Prof Diehl.

Those educators wishing the co-operation of the Faculty, will best accomplish their purpose, by communicating with the individual professor to whom is allotted their particular district.
