During the same period the average number of students at the college each year was 1213; the cost each year of instruction for each student was $214. Eleven items are included in the deficiency bill. The first of these is for $21,500 with which to com plete the chemistry building begun fast fall. The sum of $48,594 is asked for to cover the deficiency in heating, lighting, and power, the appropriation for which was cut from the bill of two years ago. The deficiency in the militar) de partment is $1,699.32. The de ficiency incurred in repairs to build ings, in the care of the campus, and in similar -necessary expenditures is THE STATE COLLEGIAN Men $19,749.50 A careful expenditure of funds by the agricultural department is shown by the fact that although the attend ance in this department has trebled in two years, or has increased from 111 to 321, a deficiency of only $9,761.90 has been incurred. The 1907 bill carried $7,500 for insurance on the college property, which is valued at $1,618,661 67. This sum was not allowed, however, and a deficiency of $10,081.28 has been made necessary. In order to carry on the work of the college, it has been necessary to borrow con siderable money, the interest on which has amounted to $23,891.32. The sum of $5,850.84 is asked for to covet the deficiency under the Institute of Animal Nutrition. This department has never received an appropriation, but has been carried in the general deficiency, in spite of the great work it has accomplished in saving money for farmers and stock-raisers. An additional engine and dynamo has been required to furnish power for the new buildings, the cost being $7,050. The furnish ing of additional class rooms has cost $3.357.09. 0 .Q . 9 , g.Q , a Q'9, An item of $47,439.41 provides for the accumulated deficiencies of a number of years. Since 1887 the appropriations have averaged about $84,000 a year with an average attendance of 735 students. The appropriations have always fallen short of the sums asked for. Under these conditions, therefore, an accu mulated deficit has been unavoidable. A Letter from Lincoln.
