...Governor's chamber yesterday that Governor Ely and Commissioner Dillon find little to comfort them in the present settup of the Gill inquiry. The body of the attack was originally to have centered in the report of Francis X. Hurley, state auditor. That report was, for some, a distinct disappointment. Intelligent public faith in it was destroyed by the press fanfare which accompanied the confidential investigation and which derived its information from "authoritative sources in the State House;" to a great many the whole business looked like a publicity stunt, designed to build up a promising young politician...

These gentlemen do not dare do that. Some of this will be done by a Senator whom I love for his intestinal fortitude perhaps...
Neither the State Legislature in its charter nor Congress, in the Land Grant Act of 1862 by which the college was founded, specified that both sexes should be admitted. The college is distinct from Texas' State University, which is coeducational by statute. The State provides many another institution where girls may be educated...
