Give the faculty a chance at the college
The president of the board of regents, not a seasoned professional, has funded three years of college study and concludes the sixteen faculty members are superbly qualified. The writer urges removing political obstacles and personal grudges, urging all regents to resign until the legislature refills the board to let the faculty and schools improve with lower costs and greater progress. The youth deserve such opportunity, and the letter calls for decisive action against obstruction.

Appointment and confirmation of regents mandated
The speaker argues the governor can easily propose and the legislature confirm regents on set terms. It contends that in 1891 the legislature should have confirmed three regents to sit in March 1892, and that in 1893 1895 similar steps should have occurred for future terms.
Propose Advance Confirmation to Stabilize State Leadership
The author argues for early appointment and confirmation of successors to governor leaders to reduce political chaos. By having biennial sessions with vetted successors ready to assume power, legislatures and schools gain predictability. The piece warns that delaying confirmations breeds disorder and prevents careful policy shifts.
