IOWA IS SIXTY

TODAY

IOWA City. June 11.-(Special.)
The State University of Iowa today
celebrated its sixtieth anniversary
here.
The anniversary address was deliver
Sd by Justice Horace Emerson Deemer
Df the Iowa supreme court. The pre-
siding officer was Governor Albert B.
Cummins, whom President George 3.
Mclean introduced. The governor, in
turn, introduced Justice Deemer.
Greeting from the faculties of the
university were extended by Dr. Sam

the board of regents, Charles E. Pick

President McLean's Report.
President George e. Mclean today
submitted his annual report to the
board of regents Of the university.
The year just closed, he declared,
has been the most prosperous in the
history of the university.
Nevertheless, financial distress, I'M
Intentionally caused by the Thirty
second general assembly, is upon the
Institution, and many instructors have
been called away at higher salaries.
thus infiicting damage upon the s. U.
1. The president cited as evidence of
the hardships due to small salaries,
one professor who received but $3.50
a year, while his expenses were
S1,204.90 despite rigid economy.
The legislative visiting committee
has made report, which, If carried
out. would have produced happier re-
suits.
The steady increase in the univer,
sitys income, due to more liberal
treatment by recent legislatures, has
made such steady returns and met
with statewide approval, that it is
clear that the people demand their
university be among the first of its
kind and that they are willing to pay
for it.
Economy Practiced.
The economy practiced at Iowa uni
versity must commend itself to the
most thrifty Iowan, as compared witt
other colleges and universities.
The cost per student per week is
thus found to be S1O.37 at Harvard
$500 at Chicago and so on down tt
$685. for Wisconsin; 1874 for Yale;
$3.50 for Illinois and only 1915 al
Iowa.
Minnesota, having fallen so far be
low the proper cost of a university al
to be at the bottom of the list will
Iowa, has been lifted through the eff
forts of the alumni appeal to the leg
islature. which gave additional appro
priations to the amount of s1,411, 500
of which s165,000 was salary increas,
and S450,000 for additions to the cam
pus.
If Iowa's next legislature does pre-
portionately likewise for Iowa. the
Iowa will come to her own.
Attendance.
The attendance at the university ha
increased wonderfully during the pas
year and the past three years. TIL
