Wages and Dividends
Wages for the period amounted to

tees, appointed by the Governor and
drawing $4,000 salary yearly each.
The trustees have the power to reg
ulate fares and transfer privileges and
determine the character and extent of

the control of any state board or COM

years of the contract.
The fares fixed by the trustees must
be sufficient to meet the entire cost

deficiency in revenues the state shall
make up the deficit and assess it upon

Deficit Columbia's
Greatest Problem, l
Asserts DIR. Butler
Asks Alumni for Funds in
Annual Report Pointing
Out Changes Necessary
for Proper Advancement
By BRIGGS

DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler, presi
dent of Columbia University, in his
annual report for the last year, made
public yesterday, lays greatest empha-
sis on the changes wrought by the
war in university life. AS for rela-
tionship of universities to the govern
ment, DR.. Butler declares their in
fluence to be more and more inter
national. 1t is no longer to be ques-
toned, he adds, that in the carrying
forward of the new international
movement the universities are to play
a powerful part.
SO far as Columbia University is
concerned, Dr. Butler advocates many
Important changes. He urges there be
greater restriction in appointments 10
protcssorshlps, great reduction in
the number of formal courses of lee
lures offered to graduate students and
development of a body of younger
teachers.
The war, Dr. Butler declares, has
brought back to the schools and col
lcges the spirit of discipline which
had been almost lost. He adds that
it would be nothing short of ca
lamlty to permit a return to the old
conditions.
Columbia, the report says, has al
ready made considerable progress in
handling the problem of Americaniza-
ton. That work will be featured in
the Forthcoming year and steps have
already been taken to more effectively
prosecute it.
AS to the much discussed question Of
the admission of women to Columbia
Law School, the report intimates it
is problem which will work itself
out in time to the satisfaction of
every one. Dr. Butler contents HIM
self with citing leading arguments for
and against the present admission of
women, naming as one OF the leading
reasons advanced for not so doing the
fact that the highest type of male
students would go elsewhere were re
strlctlons as to women students re-
moved.
In the report there is an urgent
appeal to the friends of the univrsitv
as we'll as to the organized alumni to
raise funds which will be at least suf-
flcient to meet the deficit with which
the institution is now confronted
This, President Butler declares, is the
most pressing question confronting the
university at the moment.
American universities, DR.. Butle~
points out, are pretty generally en-
gagged at the present time in unlearn-
ing many of the lessons taught them
by German universities. His plea for
establishment of a system which will
encourage development Of bodv of
young teachers, however. he saws. is
founded on similar feature of the
university system of Germany. 1t is
the one thing about them which he he
lleves worthy of adootion
