Early in January, Mayor Arthur Porter, Jr., and President John W. Hart were in Boise trying to influence legislators to accept Ricks College into the state system. Porter, a Democrat, and Hart, a Republican, were both members of the college Board of Education and the committee appointed to develop the proposal forwarded to the Legislature. The committee, pursuant to instructions from the Church board, drew up a proposal offering the campus buildings and equipment­valued conservatively at $250,000­to the state free of charge. In exchange, the state would keep the college open, maintaining and controlling the institution. The cost to maintain the physical plant was approximately $50,000 per year. Given the effects of the national economic depression and not wanting to add to the cost of state government, the college board announced that it would ask for no appropriation from the current Legislature. It would pay for the cost of maintenance until the next legislative session in two years. The money would be raised locally, and, as added incentive, $75,000­rather than $50,000­would be raised for maintenance. This would give the state time to integrate Ricks into the state system.

"My good nurse," answered Penelope, "you must be mad. The gods sometimes send some very sensible people out of their minds, and make foolish people become sensible. This is what they must have been doing to you; for you always used to be a reasonable person."

"Why should you thus mock me when I have trouble enough already-talking such nonsense, and waking me up out of a sweet sleep that had taken possession of my eyes and closed them? I have never slept so soundly from the day my poor husband went to that city with the ill-omened name."

"Go back again into the women's room; if it had been any one else, who had woke me up to bring me such absurd news I should have sent her away with a severe scolding. As it is, your age shall protect you."

"My dear child," answered Euryclea, "I am not mocking you. It is quite true as I tell you that Ulysses is come home again. He was the stranger whom they all kept on treating so badly in the cloister. Telemachus knew all the time that he was come back, but kept his father's secret that he might have his revenge on all these wicked people."

Then Penelope sprang up from her couch, threw her arms round Euryclea, and wept for joy. "But my dear nurse," said she, "explain this to me; if he has really come home as you say, how did he manage to overcome the wicked suitors single handed, seeing what a number of them there always were?"
