     (C) Adenuiat.e SuOpOrt,.  Thruout the country there is a gen-
eral recognition of the need for larger support of the state ed-
uoational institutions.   A recent inquiry by the National Asso-
ciation of State Universities shows that many institutions have
been operated with deficits during the past two years, and all
of them. are asking for material increases in their support. . The
per capita cost of University education to this State inclusive
of payments for buildings is approximately 2.0 cents or 1/2 what
it is in Kansas, Illinois and Oh-"a.  On an assessed valuation of
$100 the amount spent for all University purposes including Ox-
periment Station, Extension and buildings for the -ear 1921 is
a cents.  Rowever, it should be remembered that of $630,000 so
appropriated; $?60,000 is for special purposes that cannot be
used for teaching and general maintenance.   One of the marked
developments of the past two years has been the growth of Uni-
Versity activity outside the campus.   New calls for service are
being made that require a greater expenditure of tine on the part
of the Staff and more money to meet the deml.ands.  These calls
ought to be met and so far as S1taff and funds permit they are
met, but the University can look for increasing requests for
service.   In fact great opportunities are open to the University
as never before, but at present the University is a giant bound
and tied for want of larger support.

    "( a) The New  il'ii5 ?rorram.   At this meeting of the Board
bids are to be open.,l. f-Fne the first of four men's dormitories.
The plans are unusually complete and well worked out.   Some com-
plaint has been made by ooni;,raotoors oi Louisville and Cincinnati
regarding the time allowed for the bids.   In the opinion of Mr.
Whipple, nothing would be lost by extending the time and much
might be gained in view of the daily decline of building material
prloes.   I A delay of a month in letting bids, so he thinks, would
have no effect upon tl-1e time required for construction.
