during the two years ending May
31, 1909, the college will have re
ceived the following amounts : from
the Federal government, $127,040;
from the state, for educational
purposes, $212,000; from dormitory
rentals, etc., $182,289. 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.

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.
