THE bill appropriating moneys to the
State university was recommended for
passage in the Senate yesterday. 1t ap-
pirates thirty thousand dollars a year for
six wears for the construction of addi-
tional buildings and for the purchase Of
new apparatus for the institution, be-
sides an immediate appropriation of
twenty thousand dollars for the purchase
of additional grounds. This is in addi-
ton to the amounts needed for the pay
ment of salaries and for the support of
the institution, which will amount to at
least fifty thousand dollars more. This
Will make the annual outlay for the ex-
penses of the university eighty thousand
dollars probably more. Some people
will be inclined to question whether or
not the game is worth the powder. The
graduating class of last year numbered
seventeen persons; that for the present
year numbers eighteen. There are seven
teen professors" IN the faculty, or one
t6acher to each graduate. The cost of
graduating each pupil, it will be seen.
amounts to something over forty-five
hundred dollars, or for four years over
$4,000, sum sufficient to support sew
eral small families in comfort. For this
expenditure the State receives absolutely
no return, while the advantages of the
school are only available to the young
people of ST. Paul and Minneapolis, or
those rich enough to take board in one
of these cities In addition to the cost
of the concern the possibilities of jobbery
in connection with the expenditure of so
much money should also be considered in
connection with the appropriation bills.
