and there were other accretions.
Though it is not part of the fund, the
experimental forest at Cloquet, given
by the lumbermen, has added to the as
sets of the university more than
S125,000, most of which is the natural
growth of the last twenty years.
If the preservation of the school
fund is due to Ramsey and Sibley, the
credit for creating the university fund
belongs to John S. Pillsbury.
1t seems the university, like other
pioneers, had been building on hope.
II began business with perpetual
charter and a land grant and a debt
of S125, 200 for uncompleted buildings.
The regents were about ready to turn
in the entire land grant to cancel the
mortgage, only the creditors wouldn't
take it; they wanted their money.
Pillsbury came to the rescue. AS
president of the board of regents, ne
handled the business so efficiently
that the debt was discharged at a cost
of Il, 900 acres. Of course, the chang
es in conditions worked for him in
the COS, but the credit is still his
At first it was taken for granted
that receipts from stumpage were

raised as early as 1854. Ten years
later it was discovered that it was a
mistake to spend the money and, tc

pine stumpage and other timber
And in future reckonings, pine stump
age and pulpwood will bear an in
creasing proportion of new funds.
With more than $3,5OO,OOO in the
permanent fund and a total of $1,000
600 or more in sight, the cackling of
the early statesmen over an accum-
ulation of 100000 in 1880 and pre-
diction that the fund would ultim-
ately reach as much as One Million
Dollars seems unimpressive.
But in those days they thought the
income of the trust fund would pay
all the current expenses of the uni
versity and the reports in 1880 found
that the tax of Ito mill was produc-
ing a surplus and should be cut off.
Happy days!
Like other grants, the university
and agricultural college selections
were cramped. In fact, the agricul-
tural college lost nearly 10000 acres
because ii had to take so much
double minimum" lands, that is land
within railroad grant limits which
counted two for one. AS a result the
university especially was obliged to
fall back on the remote part of the
state where there was nothing of
value but pine and possibly minerals.
And that is where the rest of the
fund is coming.

TV-SKI.U.MAH'S DOVER

Small compared with the school
fund, the permanent university fund
--$3,345 ,599.62 at the last report and
still growlng-is after all quite res
pectable sum.
1t was founded on two land grants
and incidentals. There was 10000
acres for an agricultural college
granted under the Morrill, act, and
the grant to the university which
came double, 70 sections under the
enabling act to be selected by the
governor and 70 sections under the
act of admission to be selected by the
land office. So the state claimed
both and got away with it.
Incidentally the remnants of the salt
springs land, some $4,000 acres, were
turned over to the geological survey
