The Amount Saved From the
 University Fund
To Be Used in Founding Scholar ships and Fostering Profitable
 AgricuItural Experiments.

The tar-reachlng and beneficial ef- fleets of the recent sweeping change in the management of the territorial uni verslty are not generally understood. The change does not simply mean that some $l0,000 or $l2,000 will be saved and that the efficiency of the institu- ton will remain unimpaired. Under the new rules &1op.pi the board of regents propose to make the university more useful than 1t has ever been and permit the funds saved to be employed in more remuneratiVe directions.
 The primary object ot the admins tratiOn seems to have been n centralize authority In one pereOu as II has been done with so great succeas at the panI- tentiary and the insane asylum. and to rigidiy hold that one person respon- sible for the success of The institution and the good conduct ot his eubordi- mates.
 The following nre the new regulations and it will be ob erved tha: they relate chiefly to the added responsibility of the head of the university who, it must always logically be considered, IS a man better able to solve the perploxing prob- lens which from time to time present themselves than a board Of regents or faculty of divided authority:
 There shall be president of the Univers tv who shall be the chief executive officer of the same.
 He shali be and is hereby required to attend the meetings oi the Board of Regents.
 He shall have the general superintendence of all build ,ngs, grounds and property belong ing to the University, including the school of afVnlr aud IAY1.r tions, and shall have the direction and control Of all persons connected herewith, subject to the approval of the Board Of Regents
 He shaltcause fuIl and fair accounts and records of all his doings and of th3 l5iness and operations of the institution, to be kept regularly from day to day in books provided for that par 'ose; and he shall see that all such aceoults and records are fully made up to the end of the year, and that the principal facts and 'sults with his report thereon, be pre- seated to the Board of Regents immediately thereafter, and that they may submit the same and report herewith to the Governor of the Territory
 It shall be the duty of the president to recon. mend to the Board Of Regents. for approval, the appointment or discharge of as many and such professors and instructors and other em ployes as he may think proper aud necessary for the ecoI omicSl and efficient administration of the institution in all it's depaTtmepts; shall, with the approval of said board. prescribe their several duties and places; and, with the ap- proval of said board, fix their mpensation.
 He shall also from time to time give such orders and instructions as he may judge best calculated to insure good conduct, fidelity and economy in every department; he is authorized and enjoined to maintain salutary discipline among all who are employed in any and every department of the institution, and to enforce strict compliance with such instructions and uniform obedience to all the rules and regula- tiOns of the same.
 The regular meetings of the board shall be held at the university building on the first Monday of January, April, July and October of each year.
 Upon written request of three members of the board, stating their reasons therefor, the chancellor shall call @ meeting of the board, and five days notice shall be given to each mem per of the board, which notice shall state in full the object for which the meeting is called, and it shall be unlawful to transact any business except that named in the call.
 The president of the university shall be re- qutred to file an estimate quarterly, in ad- vance, for the ascertained and probable ex- penses of the university in all its departments for the following quarter year, ill which esti. mate the board shall take such action as it deems fit, and the board of regents shall there. upon make requisition upon the territorial treasurer through the territorial auditor, for such amount as may be approved by them. ill favor Of the treasurer of said board of regents and said amount shall be disbursed on the warrant of the president of the board of regents countersigned by the secretary of the board of regents.
 That Dr. Theodore B. Comstock be and he is hereby elected president of the university of Arizona.
 The disposition of the large sum of money to be annually saved by the change of management has been prac- tically agreed upon. The funds come of course from the United States and may therefore be diverted into any channel which contributes to the use fulness of the university. It is pro- posed to establish annually fifteen schol- arships of $l00 each to be awarded to highly meritorious graduates from the various high schools of the territory thus awakening a spirit of emulation among the pupils of those schools and enabling deserving students to secure a liberal education.
 The first year will consume $1 ,500; the second $3, 900 and so on until the fourh year when the outlay will be $6,000 at which figure it will remain. The scholarships will be perpetual so that in the fifth year those established the first year will pass into the hands of new students.
 The rest of the sum saved will be employed In the establishment of agri-
