to impress without direct words some situation upon the mind of a faculty member, worthy but short sighted. in order to give him a further chance of succeeding.
 Material Achievement
 An increasing student body needs
 more class rooms and dormitories, a larger library, more athletic fields, larger dining hall and other facilities The mines and engineering building was obtained in 1915, and the Stew ard observatory in 1916 (but the com pletion of the latter has been de- 1 layed four years by the war). Two I large dormitories have been added with enlarged dining hall The 1 campus area has been added to and experimental farms has been pur- chased. The actual plant of the uni- versity is now worth closely one and one-half million dollars
 l The impossibility of undertaking | any far-reaching plans while re-
 newed maintenance had to be sought from the state legislature every two | years was clearly evident, and the cure for this restriction was at last accomplished. A mill tax for the sup port of the university was granted
 by the last legislature (1921), thus 1 supplying a reliable income, as Is I done in the great majority of state | institutions. This makes it possible
 for the growing manhood and wom-
 1 anhood of Arizona to have as good
 educational facilities as found ir
 l older states. This is perhaps the
 crowning act of the state of Arizona
 in behalf of the oncoming genera
 I ton and its future citizenship.
 T Extension Work
 T The great handicap upon president:
 I has been the condition above alluded
 ! to. that Arizona was at first not z unit but a legal group of discon'
 nected settlements. Each city natu'
 rally wanted the good things of th'
 state and with commendable enthu
 siasm expected soon to be large
 enough to be worthy of the mos in,portant state institutions. In tn
 early days other towns felt that tn . university was a Tucson institution instead of a statewide enterpris i and quoted the preparatory depart i ment as basis for this. They eithe wanted a part of the institution o
 felt little interest in it. As the uni , yersity emerged into real high !, grade institution, the other parts o , l the state did not reali. It and, Il . fact. could not realize 1t until . some way it was visualized to then | rla to see the university or taklni the university out to the people. Bot these methods are now in operation University week was started in In sprine of 1911 by an invitation to th citv superintendents and high schoo orinciDals of the state to meet ol the campus for mutual acquaintanc and benefit. On the following yea students were also invited and atn \ letic and other contests arrange This annual reunion has rapidly oe veloped and last spring some o4 biob school visitors were registered The touch with the high school baa been maintained by the count, scholarships; also by the president cun presented to that high schoo whose freshman delegation shows tn hest record, a gift initiated two year ago. On the other hand, the universit has been carried o t to the peopl hy various forms of extension. Cnle anong these have been the inspirlni lectures of the president himseI whose power of appeal to the west ern spirit has been constantly gro" irg during his residence here. Man s members of the faculty give lecture 5 and commencement addresses abou the state. They have met with club and kept many groups in touch VII \ the center of higher education in AT zona. The formation of Suniverslt clubs in the various cities of the sta 5 is rapidly bringing all the citizens ! realize that th-s is their uniVersle \ in which they can take the greates I p-'oe.
