A Docksry Achievement.

Without one cent Increase In the tax
levy Governor A. NJ. Dockery has
brought about the greatest progress
In higher education In Missouri ever
made 10 a similar period ID the his
tory uf the Commonwealth. Under
bis administration the growth Of the
University OF Missouri has been little
less than phenomenal. For the year
1900. the year preceding Dockery's ad.
ministration, the total income OF the
University including the School Of
Mines was approximately s2ls, 900;
this year, the last of bis term, the To-
tai income OF the institution is esti-
mated at s435, 600 or double what it
was when he entered the governors
mansion. Nor Is this all. Already
since be became governor, s3OO,0O0 has
been spent 10 constructing esd furn-
ishing six University buildings at
Columbia and three at Rolla and be-
fore his term shall finally expire next
January, two other buildings costing
nearly $50, 900 will be nearing compile
ti0n at Columbia The equipment Of
the University apart from buildings,
books and grounds shows q similar
marvellous growth. The value Of
equipment 10 the entire University on
the first Of January, 1901, was s2l7, 900;
On the first OF January, 1905, when
Dockery shall step down and out It
will be worth approximately $4,000,
an Increase Of 20 per cent. The Uni
versIty library has felt the same magic
touch. On January LIST. 1901, It con-
tained 10000 volumes and $1,000
pamphlets; on January Lat. 1905, it
will contain 70 900 volumes and 30, 900
pamphlets. Along with this growth
