special appropriation by the legisla-

of the building fund of $5,6OO,OOO,
appropriated by the legislature two
years ago and to be paid in ten an

the university regents the authority
to issue certificates of indebtedness

Grouchiness Destroys Friendship.

Nobody, of course, expects a man to
be eternally radiant with cheerfulness
and wreathed in smiles. But people
will not tolerate urbanity one day and
grOuchiness the next in perpetual al
formation. People will not tolerate 1t
because they do not have to. Pleasant
friends who are more reliable in their
manner are not difficult to find. There
is no need of putting up with a
"grOuch."
Consequently the moody, instead of
blaming others for their unpOpularity
extraordinary, would far better re-
prOach themselves. They are the ones
with whom the fault lies, and until
they overcome their mOOdiness they
may rest assured that solitude and I'M
happiness will be their portion. - 81.

What the State Did
For the University
Six Million Dollars Set Aside for
Maintenance During Next
Two Years

The legislature which adjourned
April 20, by its vote for educational
support, reaffirmed the faith of the
people of Minnesota in their school
system, including their university.
The faith of the legislature in
the university was shown by the ap-
preparation of $3,OO0,OOO a year for
the next two years for maintenance
supplies and equipment, and of $751;
179 as an emergency fund to meet
the extraordinary expenses of the
last two years, which grew out of the
great influx of students in the fall of
1919 and the extremely high prices
