THIS is GOING SOME"
That Is the Comment OF the Boone

Action OF the University
Board.

The board Of curators Of the State
University, as is disclosed by its re-
cords, at a meeting held on the 2sth
of Noyembe adopted resolution
raising the salary Of the President of
the University from nine TO ten thou
sand dollars per year, from January
/, 1920, and granted him four months
vacation during that year on full pay.

the average MLssourian, for whom the
learned president has often expressed

should constitute a great public trust.
