The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1916-12-30

under the state board OF control have
been relieved to such an extent dur
ing the past six years that it now
seems possible for he legislature to
grant some of the requests made by
the educational institutions.
The original requests at the Uni
versity provided for $152,OO0 in new
buildings. .... .....
The agricultural College asks for
$4,000 for new buildings. r.
Normal Asks $15O,O0O
President Mcfarland OF the Valley
City Normal requests Sl5o,oO0 for new
buildings, $4,000 for imp .ovcments
and repairs, and $4,000 for equipment.
At the state normal school at May
Vile, President Hillyer requests that
new dormitory be constructed at
cost of $75,O00 improvements and
remodeling of old buildings $500,
equipment $500. The situation at
Mayville is peculiar. In the face OF
these $4,000 requests, the state board
of regents finds that an appropriation
of $4,000 by the legislature and per-
mission to use accumulated funds will
provide not only for the new $4,000
building, but for all the remOdeling
and equipment and all the mainten-
ance for the next two years..
MinOt Normal
At the state normal at Minot, Presi-
dent Crane earnestly requests $51,7OO
for the completion of the west wing
of the building, $4,000 for the audi
forum and $4,000 for the barn. In
improvements and repairs he asks for
$4,000 and for equipment $4,000.
Other NOrmals .....,..
At the state nOrmal-industrial
school at Glendale the demands Of
President Black were exceptionally
modest. He wants $4,000 for a new
model school, $4,000 for improvement
and repairs and $1,000 for equipment.
President Smith of the state school
Of science at Wahpeton does not ask
for any new buildings, but he wants
$4,000 for improvements, remodeling
and repairs. OF this amount $4,000
is requested for remodeling the old
building. This, early residents of the
state will recall, was purchased from
the old Red River Valley university of
the state The building was con-
structed more than quarter OF CEN
fury ago and in addition to the re-
construction required for classroom
convenience, the building needs a
great deal of other repairs and i'm
provements.
From Forestry to Agriculture ~
At the state school Of forestry in
B0ttineau, where the institution has
been changed largely from a school OF
forestry, for which there appeared to
be no place in the educational system
of North Dakota, to an agricultural
high school, President Smith makes
numerous requests along new building
lines. He asks for dormitory to cost
$4,000, a presidents residence to cost
$500, a new heating plant at $500
shops at $4,000, and other construc.
ton work $4,000, making total OF
$4,000, for new buildings. For i'm.
.provements and repairs $4,000 is ask.
ed and $1,000 for equipment. Until
the success of the new agricultural
nigh school plan is thoroughly dem.
onstrated the board Of regents is un.
likely to recommend large appropria
tons for new buildings.
Dickinson Normal
The largest appropriation asked fol
by the state board OF regents for any
educational institution is $250,O00 fol
the new normal at Dickinson. This
was the original amount asked for thu
Minot normal, and it will cost the tax
payers of the state 100000 within thu
next ten years to put up the build
ings required by this new institution

imperative needs appear to the state
board of regents to be the completion
