The president then ut length re-
counts the story of such support as the
State has been able to give the Uni
VerSity.
, In 1873 when the doors were re-
opened. upon 4 scene Of wreck and
desolation the state gave nothing for
re-eQuipTnent. but the friends and al
unni, out Of their poverty. contrib
uted $1S.10o 50 as to make it possible
to start to work. $500 income from
the Land Scrip Fund was granted at
first. but was taken away in 1887. In
1881 an annual appropriation of $4,000
was given for the water works, in1irm-
airy, and repairs to buildings.
In this year else the annual appro-
priation was raised to $4,000. In 1899
$1,000 was appropriated for water
works and in 1903 an additional So
500. OF which sum $1,000 was for thc
equipment of the department Of ply

ed to $4,000 in 1901 and 10 $4,000
in 1905, at which sum it remains at
present. This, he says, is about the
sum available for the graded schools
Of Durham. In 1906 the sum Of $50
600 was appropriated for the new
chemical laboratory. the first building
erected at the University by direct
State appropriation.
