A caucus . had only narrowly defeated opposition to the introduction of such a bill, an.d Rodey knew that he must draft and introduce his bill before the opposition had time to regroup, Two days later on February 28, Rodey shambled sleepily out ot the old Palace Hotel in Santa Fe, walked down to the Inn of the Governors and watched with elation as his bill, ••to establish ,( and. provide for the maintenance of the·· University 'of New Mexico., the Agricultural Experiment, the School of Mines, and the Insane Asylum," passed, Many skeptics in the territory were justified in thinking that . the bill was too optimistic, for 'there was not even a public high school in New Mexico at the time )Vhen-Rodey proposed the foundation of a university.
