i Seattle, Nov. 9—Though propos
jp.ls for tuition at the University of '
j Washington have been made fre
; quently anil unsuccessfully in the ;
! state legislature. President Landes
is personally in favor of a small '
J fee. He made this statement be
for the newspaper correspondents of •
iho campus, but particularly insist
jcd that it be considered only his J
.personal view, and in nowise of
ficial.
"If we were given a good start,
' with the present needs of th<> uni
versity cared for, a feo or $10 a

j ently settle the building problems (
I of the university," lie said "ShorU!

j yield yearly, under such a tuition |
|plan, ?70,00U. That would keep onr (
building Ju repairs and provide for j
| additions and the occasional con-1
Rtruction of new buildings, as need- j
ed.''
President Landes does not believe |,
that the establishment of a tuition h
would affect the number of students (
coming to the university, unless •
possibly to increase it. He told
his interviewers that in general ,
stiffening of entrance requirements ,
or increase in tuition in other (
universities had only resulted in ,
additional prestige aud attendance.
Should the plan of making the
summer school integral cart of the!'

year be divided into four quarters, j
