STRONG SHOWING Of
THE WORK Of THE
UNIVERSITY
MORE WORK ON LESS MONEY
ANY COLLEGE IN WEST
Institution Carrying Full College
Work With Smaller Faculty
Than in Any Other State In
Stitution of the Kind,

In response to a request from the
committee on education Of the up
per house Of the legislature. for n
statement AS to the work being done
by the University of New Mexico, its
cost and how that cost compares with
the cost of similar work in other
western state universities, President
Tight has prepared a statement which
is a most interesting exposition of
what the university has been able to
do with the modest appropriations it
has received and which sets forth a
line Of facts. in comparison with work
and cost of other western state uni
vcrsities. hat are most interesting
The statement follows:
The University of New Mexico
comprises four departments, The
preparatory school of four years; the
college of arts and sciences, four
years. the normal school Of five years;
the engineering school of four years.
There arc fifteen members of the fac
ulty. There are offered 176 courses
of instruction, a course consisting Of
the treatment Of n subject for M
semester or half year. The first
semester of the school year I90S-1909
there were actually given 15 courses,
making five courses for each instruc-
tor. Three curses per instructor IS
recognized as standard work in all
institutions of equal rank. The uni
Vcrsity has graduated from It's prepa-
ratory department, llS; from its col
lcgc. -. from It's normal department,
6S, making a grand total of 213.
There are enrolled for tho school year
l90S-190s total l73 IN all depart
ments, So in college; 81 in the prepa-
ratory. OF tho college students "a re-
side In Albuquerque and 29 at large.
or the preparatory students SO reside
in Albuquerque ana 20 at large. There
are II counties Of the territory epre-
setned by q total of 81 students. There
are 20 cities or towns of the terri
tory represented, only five of which
have high school courses which will
admit students to the college depart
mont Of the university. There are ten
cities in the territory which have high
schools which can prepare students
for college. These ten cities repre-
sent a population of approximately
5000. If the population of the ter
rltory is taken at 100000 1t is evil
dem that the pupils OF high school
grade represented by a population OF
325. 900 must have their high school
preparation provided for by the ter
ritory at large in the preparatory de-
Dartmcnts OF the territorial institu-
tons for higher education. If these
institutions are to meet the demands
of the people they must maintain
preparatory departments for many
years. There are 80 state institutions
of other states that find it necessary
TO maintain preparatory departments.
From these a few representative eX-
amnles are taken for comparison from
statistics for the year ending 1908.
