times when it ought 1 would not quit Doctor Bizzell
pledged himself to continue his
work for the school declaring "I
am going to defend this univer-
sity and do a lot of it during the
next year in every part of the na-
tion" "Nothing has affected my life
so much as the attack upon the
good name of this university" he
declared "Nothing ever hurt me
more than to have it broadcast
over this land that this school did
not stand for the highest in mor-
als and education"
The school executive was refer-
ring to the recent charges of im-
morality and grafting in the uni-
versity made by Governor Mur-
ray A senatorial investigation
which followed cleared the insti-
tution of all charges
"There can't be found in this
nation or on any campus a stu-
denti body with higher motels
higher ideals than here
"The school has been hurt It
didn't solve the situation to invite
a legislative investigation ano to
receive an exoneration from a body
of senators The report of the
exoneration did not carry to all
the places the charges did
"When you leave this school you
tell your friends that I told you
that you left on this canipus a
group of administrators and a
faculty that is carrying out the
highest ideals of education and
moral training" Bizzell said
"I hope I may stay here until
the university reaches the rail-
road tracks on the east until it
graduates 2000 each year instead
of 1000 and until its student body
numbers 10000"
The seniors rose in their chairs
and cheered for several minutes
when the president told them he
would not leave the school
"We are going to carry on here
We will grow and build more ed-
ucational buildings We will turn
out on this campus some of the
greatest men of learning in the
world" the president concluded
The occasion for Bizzell's speech
was a luncheon which was part of
