The expenses Of the Board Of Regents Of
the state university for the last year
amounted 70 1855. This included all the
expenses OF the boards meetings as well

state for the purpose of locating the asri-
cultural experimental schools.
George COPELAND, q memSer OF the board,
who, to better equip himself for his work,
has Just finished q course Of lectures at
the Ames Qa.) Agricultural school, follow
ing the dismissal OF school here Is authority
for the statement that It cost Iowa s2b'OOo
during the last year to pay the salaries ana
expenses OF It's board which looks after its
state university there. Mr.. COPELAND was
asked what he thought of an amendment
TO the state constitution OF Nebraska pro-
viding for a salary for the regents, but he
Is very much opposed 10 such proceeding.
The Board OF Regents needs no salary
he said. THE honor OF being member
Of tho board which looks after the great
| state university is enough without salary. |
Were a salary provided men may desire TO
become members Of the board for that and
not for love OF the work, as is the case
where there is no pay 1t is my opinion
that salary IL no inducement to high-class
men,"
