graduates, two in number, received
their diplomas in 1873. To-day the
number of students is more than
thousand and the graduates each
year number between five hundred
and six hundred. The men who preced-
ed me in the University know full we'll
what an arduous task it was to keep
the University alive in the early years.
All through the years of my predeces-
sor's administration and through con-
siderable number of years of my own
administration, the appropriations
made by the legislature for the sup
port of the University were so small
that it was impossible to do more
than to care for the pressing wants
of the moment We lived, so to speak,
from hand to mouth. Expansion was
not to be thought of. Growth was next
to impossible. And when at last ap-
preparations began to be made for an
occasional new building and one was
provided, it could not be devoted to
one branch of learning and made ade-
quate to the wants of that branch of

to be divided among a number of de-
partments, resulting in temporizing
policy of momentary expediency with
out any possible chance of building
according to some plan which should
forecast the future.
"The legislatures of recent years
have been generous in their appropria-
tons for the University. Indeed I
may say that their liberality has been
beyond praise. Not that I think they
have appropriated more than was alb
solutely needed or more than the state
could well afford. But their appropria-
tons have been so far beyond all that
earlier legislatures would have dreamed
of, that there is every reason to believe
that coming legislatures will be equal
ly generous, especially when they con-
slider the growth Of the University
and realize to how many families in
Minnesota it directly ministers. The
appropriations made for the greater
campus perhaps reach the high-water
mark in legislative generosity to the
University up to the present time, and
they give assurance that the develop
ment of the University, the beauty of
Its campus, the convenient location of
it's different colleges, and the provid-
ing of sufficient room for the work of
the University, are held by the legis-
Iature to be matters of vital impor-
lance, and that duty to the highest
interests of the state requires that
they be properly cared for.
1.-THE most vital new idea which has
affected the scope of education in re-
cent years is that men in great var
lety Of occupations outside of the So
called learned professions, need the
higher education in such form as to
be helpful in their life work; and that
institutions of learning ought so to
broaden their curricula as to embrace
subjects, knowledge of which is
necessary in a great variety of en-
pigments for which colleges in the
