At present it occcupies the unen- viable position of being the only state that pays less than five per cent. — and that too on the entire princi- pal of the fund derived from the sale of the lands granted under the Morrill act. I a4mit that the action of the state has been legally competent. But I ap- peal from legality to equity, and to the spirit of mod- eration and practicability, and to wise self-interest and mutual convenience. Cornell University is a very important organ of the body polit...ic, and why should it alone be deprived of the nourishing life of the or- ganism ? Other states have acted more wisely. The question is, not what the state may do, but what in justice and wisdom it ought to do. If good policy and generosity point in the same direction, a sovereign is none the less politic for being generous. After all, the university is not less indispensable to the state than the state to the university. Digitized by Google 25 CORNELL THE STATE UNIVERSITY. There is a still stronger claim, under the terms of tlie Morrill act, which Cornell University must urge upon our commonwealth.
