The following table shows the Vermont students the ns-
lions of higher learning the classes of 1914-1915:


will by comparison of these tables that deductng the
s80oOO which paid the university for agricultural extension
work. from of her appropriation for 1914 costs
approximately for each Vermont student in the University
of Vermont State Agricultural college including the mdca
school, Sl84OO Vermont student in Mddebuy college,
and $4,000 student Norwich university In
this connection should be noted that p cent of Mddeby
college students reside debury and that the population OF
Mddlebury per cent of the population of the state
In 1909 the appropriation for the university will be seen IN
the above table Mddebuy college, S24oOOo;
and for Norwich university 100000 At that time there were
$50 the University Of Vermont and State
ricuura college There in that institution 4o8 vermont

m students The same year there Vermont students in
Mddebuy college There 156 Vermont students IN that
institution In 1910-19the earliest for which catalogue
was ayaabehere 80 Vermont students in Norwich uni
versy 4S Vermont students in that institution
It can readily those who interested IN TINS matter
that while there been increase the appropriation Tor the
University Vermont and State Agricultural college from So
to has been increase in the attendance
of Vermont students 408 exclusive of the special stu
dents and there has been increase in the appropriation
Mddebuy college for the same period from S4oooo
there been increase in attendance OF vermont stu
dents only has been increase in the appo
praon for university from $1oOOOO to S2OOoooo
there has been angof of Vermont students in
this institution of from 49, With perhaps the exception OF
the University of Vermont State Agricultural college there
does be that growth in attendance which one might
reasonably expect from increased subsidies ,; H. i+i
From information furnished the commission during ITS nveSt
CATION appears that the distribution Of state scholarships at e
University of Vermont Agricultural college has been
generally statewide Mddebury college, appears that OF
he classes of 1908 inclusive ITO members have been recp
tents of scholarships and these 46 have come from Addison
county and from of Mddebury AS to Norwich UNI
ver that of the classes for the years 29I mem
hers have scholarships and of these la have come
from Washington county and 80 from the town OF Nohhed
All things considered is the state of Vermont
getting value received for the amount that she
gives her institutions of higher learning?
