by the board of trustees and committees
to the subject of a new site for the uni
versfty. 1t was earnestly hoped by us all
that a definite announcement could be
made at this time, but 1t is impossible to
do so. II the site were the only question
involved 1t might be possible to determine
II, but Intimately associated with this prob
lem is the educational work of the univer-
sity. We have in hand and in subscrip-
tons approximately S350OCO. To purchase
any of the sites proposed, which are oe-
srabe from the university standpoint, re-
quires from $4,000 to S3Jo,OGO additional
to the money in hand.
THE subscriptions are payable in five
annual instruments SO that we have in
cash. applicable to a purchase. little over
500, 900. If the university were to. decide
upon the site and make the purchase now
$4,000 to SI00.O00. The annual interest
charge upon this sum would amount to
1000 or $4,000. The il.come of the uni
versity at the present time Is insufficient
to meet its running expenses. and this adj
ditional charge would therefore be a very
heavy burden and might necessitate Sc
rious retrenchment in the educational work
Four years ago adopted the policy of
putting the educational work upon a higher
plane in all departments. We have pro-
ceeded upon this policy until our work Is
now accepted in the best institutions in the
country, and full credit given for it to stu
dents going from our university to other
institutions. We cannot afford to endanger
this position. The board has therefore
utteTHlDtu tnaI IL WOulU not De wise 10 III
cur large Indebtedness in order to deter
mine the site at once-but to postpone the
decision until more money has been Sc
cured
I'VE all regard the decision of the site
important. and it is great disappointment
to many that we cannot determine it, AS
soon as sufficient funds are secured to make
the purchase the board will determine it.
In the meantime careful investigations will
be made of some new locations. and the
efforts TO secure funds will be energetically
pushed. The first aim Of the university
must be to maintain the educational work
and increase its efficiency with additional
teachers. The true university is, first of all,
the home of great teachers. Costly struct-
ures. well-filled libraries, thoroughly
equipped laboratories and many students
are great factors, but the center of it all
is the presence and inspiring spirit of great
teachers. To secure the educational work,
The physical life and things will grow
around this work and it's existence will draw
the needed endowment
