AS TO SCHOLARSHIPS.

The presidents report to the regents
which is embodied in the regents re-
port deals more specifically with the
conditions and needs of tho university.
Concerning fcllowships and scholar
ships the president says:
Col. Wall Is still contributing to the
university $500 n year for one fellow
of mines. The university has also
given two fcllowships in this same
school, each amounting to $3.50. 1t Is
hoped that in time these fellowships
VIII have accomplished much for the
university and the state through the
discovery OF successful methods for the
treatment OF refractory ores and many
other important things connected With
mining and the work of the engineer
There are now 200 scholarships given
by the state for the state normal
school. each carrying with 1t only $40.
Besides these scholarships there Is ono
scholarship given by tho alumni and
four or five Grant scholarships. To
make the normal scholarship very at
tractive the stipend connected with It
should be five times as large as it Is
at the present time"
On the needs in tho various depart
ments he writes:
The professor occupying the chair
of bactcriology In the university has
also been the state bacteriolOgist. The
work done for the university and for
the state has been we'll executed so far
as 1t has been possible, for one man
with student assistant to do the work
demand This combination between
the university ana the state Is an en-
cellent one and should be continued
THE geological work OF tho state
Is being neglected. There should be a
state geologist and he should be the
professor of geology in the university
Where this Is the case both the stu
dents and the state are doubly served
The students help to do the work and
are benefited thereby and they carry,
the information they obtain regarding
the geological condition and mineral
wealth of the state to their parents and
friends In all parts of the state. In this
way much more Information respecting
the natural resources of the state Is
scattered throughout our common
wealth than could possibly be the case
without this arrangement.
NEEDS IN ASTRONoNiY,
1T Is highly important that the uni
verslty have a small. astronomical OBJ
servatory and II fairly good telescope in
order to meet the demands in astrono-
my, Little or nothing can be accom-
plfshed. No subject can broaden the
mind and develop the powers OF imngin-
alton more than astronomy when prop
erly taught. The subject cannot be
properly taught without an observatory
and n telescope"
