N. Y. u. NEEDS CASH,
CHANCELLOR SAYS
More Resources to Properly Han
die Work Asked in An
nual Report.

New York University, according 10 the
annual report Of Chancellor Elmer Els
worth Brown. issued yesterday, requires
more money.
The University has indeed reached a
point where the need Of enlarged re-
sources is most acutely felt. The proper
handling Of the work which has already
been undertaken and that which has been
thrust upon us is the first consideration
But the discharge Of these immediate
duties Is bound up with plans for future
development. We can fairly estimate the
present needs only by reference TO con-
sistent plan which reaches into the future.
And any such plan must represent our
conception Of the true function and destiny
Of the university as a whole.
"Thanks to a series OF notable benefac-
tions i'm earlier years, we have an educa-
iional plant valued at S.. $50 900, which Is
free from incumbrsnce and income bear
ing endowments now aggregating about
S1.369.OO With this plan and upon the
income Of these endowments, together with
the fees paid by our students. we have
now to give instruction to a student BODY
OF more than $500 members. lf we were
TO disregard all opportunities for wider
usefulness and conhne our efforts rigor-
ously to the immediate task. the current
income of the university would still be
altogether insufficient for this purpose"
II is stated that the deficit for the year
ended June 30. 1913. is s59,557 SO.
The report goes on:
1T is not surprising, under these cir
cumstances that, as shown by the treas
,irer's report. this university still faces an
annual deficit OF serious proportions. I'm
view Of the recent experiences Of noish-
boring institutions. as we'll as the past his
tory Of this institution. such situation is
not TO be regarded as unprecedented or
EARNING. Nevertheless. 1T presses home
the question, What should be the immedi-
ate plan and policy of an institution called
10 such high service while beset with such
financial limitations?
'T do not believe il should lie our policy
under such ircumstances either TO stand
still while we wait for gifts or to reduce
our expenditures by impairinG our
efficiency. Our hope for advancement lies
with those public spirited citizens who
shall come TO understand and approve OF
the aims Of this university and of the
wavs by which II proposes 10 realize those
aims.
ct is for us 20 make clear 20 such citl-
zens and to the community at large that
we are doing an indispensable work. which
can best be accomplished by our agency.
Two years ago the registration of stu
dents up TO the last week in October was
1881: one year ago It was 4,42S, and
this wear IL is 5,637."
