Mr.. BERRY said 1t had been the unani-
nous report Of the Committee to appropriate
$500 this year for the College and $1,000
next year. Reducing the appropriation thus
because they thought that this Institution
could gradually become self sustaining. Not
at once but in time. The trustees had not
required any tuition on the ground that the
contracts were in existence stating that no
tuition should he charged. This was a good
argument as far rs Invent. Certainly it woHld
not apply to those coming into the institu-
ton, and ii this charged it would mater
iallv assist the institution.
| Mr.. DINGLEY said The institution had
been carried on at large expense to the State
in the past. They have asked for appropra-
tons to assist in charging the facilities of
their college and have in several instances
exceeded those appropriations. then asked
the Legislature to make up the deficiency
which has been done. 1t had signallv failed
as y self-sustaining institution. and was
rather a burden on the State.
