[George Q. Cannon] Today Pres[ident]. [Wilford] Woodruff gave his decision in the matter of the proposed change in University affairs; it is to the effect that under existing circumstances it will be best to suspend the Church University, and give our influence and aid to the State University. This will enable the Church to devote more energy to the support of the Stake Academies, which are in the nature of High Schools, practically unparalleled by any grade of schools in the Public School System.
