To the Board of Trustees
   State University.


Gentlemen:

     I have the honor to herein make to you mry official report for the period elapsing

from the December meeting to the end of the Collegiate year, 1913,

     With the expiration of this term on June 5th next closes the most prosperous and

successful year in the existence of this institution, Three years ago when I became

President there were about six hundred students in the University proper; today there

are twelve hundred on the roster roll; an increase of more than one hundred percent in

numbers. An inquiry made by me of the various teachers reveals the fact that in no year

prior to this have the students been more studious or more orderly than during this;

there has been no disorder of any kind worthy of mention; no destruction of property

or other outrage; no hazing of any sort has been indulged in and I sincerely believe
