OUR SENENTY-FIFTH BIRTHDAY.

The University OF Missouri is 75
years old Few state universities in
the Middle West can boast of 50 long
an existence The General Assembly
OF Missouri passed an act establishing
the state university almost in the
same breath that it established the
public school system in February.
1899. Those men had the foresight to
establish a complete school system for
educating the young men of Missouri
50 that they might be as well equipped
for life as the youth of any state ia
the Union.
The University was located at CO.
lumbia the same year, but was not
completed nor was instruction begun
for some time later. The first gradu
ating class. in lS43. consisted OF two
members. Last year more than i30
degrees were conferred.
TO grow from a dozen students to
more than $500 is an achievement.
Ii shows the advancement of educa-
ton in Missouri in the last seventy
five years. II is worthy of cOmmem-
oration here Commencement Week. II
is only to be regretted that il is not
possible To show the whole progress
of education i'll Missouri and thus
celebrate the seyenty-fifth birthday of
the institution that stands at the head
OF the educational system of the state

Officials who arc watching the opera
tion of the banks said tonight there
was every reason TO expect large
amounts Of redscounts in the near
future. At present there is close TO
S30OO00,00 000 of emergency currency and
possibly 100000 600 Of Clearing House
loan certificates outstanding or IN the
hands of banks. The emergency cur
rency is subject 10 tax by the gov

are put out at high interest rates. Both

be subject to rediscount by the Fed

Although the demand several months
ago from bankers for circulating notes
caused the issuance OF emergency cur
rency, il Is pointed out that there now
is more currency in circulation than Is
needed and IL is probable that Treas

avoid further issues. There have been
