Dollars.

Yesterday morning Representative
Robertson, of Guilford, introduced bill
appropriating 5000 to the University
of North Carolina.
The bill provides that the sum of TWEEN
ty-five thousand dollars is hereby ap-
propriated, out of monies coming into
the Treasury Of the State, to the board
of trustees of the University of North
Carolina, for the erection Of q chemical
laboratory that a further sum of five
thousand dollars is appropriated for the
Proper furnishing of the Department of

ton from the State as it was found nee
essary to borrow.

students. Seyenty-five medical students
are now trying to work in a laboratory
intended for forty. Thus one new build
ing makes room for three departments.

to the University by the alumni. For
lack of means we have been unable 10
install all of the apparatus for the labo-
ratories of the Department of Physics
and to purchase the proper equipment.
AS the building has been provided, the
State should equip this, one of the most
useful departments in the University.
There is only one engine at the pump
