REGENTS HOLD SESSION
Chancellor's Biennial Report Ac
cepted Water Supply Plant
Contemplated Military
and Gymnasium
Regulations.
The regents met in the executive of
flco of the univorslty Tuesday after
noon and continued in session until a
late hour at night. The principal mat
ters under consideration had reference
to tho finances of, the university. The
proposition of giving credit for mili
tary drill was also taken up along
with other things of especial interest
to the students.
Tho rogents are asking that the
three funds known as the Morrill fund,
tho Experiment Station fund and the
university cash fund be appropriated
by special bills and not included in the
general appropriation bill. The Mor
rill and Experiment Station funds
come from tho government while the
university cash fund is collected here
at the university by way of student
fees.
It seems to be tho opinion of a large
number of taxpayers that the univer
sity Is kept up almost entirely by di
rect tax but after the moneyB derived
from the land grant of 1862 are de
ducted from tho entire university fund
there remains a Bum that will be sup
plied by a general tax of only one
mill. This 1b all that tho state actual
ly contributes toward the support of
the university, if, like tho appropria
tions of the government funds and the
fund derived from tho university lands
of the state, are, strictly speaking, ap
propriations, they ought not to be con
sidered as are other appropriations,
becauso they come from special sources
and not from tho common purse. The
chancellor's detailed report on the
work of tho past blonnium and tho ex
penditures for tho coming two years,
which is to be submitted to the gov
ernor and legislature, Is long and com
prehensive. Tho entire sum that the
legislature will be asked to appropriate
amounts to something over $700,000,
but it should be remembered that only
about 50 per cent of this amount is to
bo paid by the people of the state.
Prof. B. H. Barbour's plan of sup
plying the university with water was
discussed at somo length. Tho plan
seems to be practical and feasible. It
consists- of "'placing three alr-tlght
tanks, either in the ground or in he
hnRnment of the main building. Water
pumped Into these tanks would com
, press the air, which would force tho
water out through mains to any part
of the campus. Professor Barbour
thinks that a well could be successfully
put down hero at the university, be
cause it Is know tho cretaceous strata,
in which water occurs, lies on both the
west and east of us. with the machln-.
ery.tbat the university already has and
plenty of men to run the business bucIi
a plant, tho professor thinks, could be
constructed at a cost of about $4,000
and the cost of running would not ex
ceed $600 per year. At present the cost
of supplying tho university with water
is about $1,600 per year, or three times
the amount that the proposed system
would require.
The matter wbb finally referred to
the following committee: Professors
Barbour, Stout, Bessey and Ernst and
Peters, the two resident members of
tho board.
Tho matter of credit for military
drill was passed upon by the board and
the following plan adopted:
"From and after Feb. 2, 1903, tho fol
lowing regulations wil be In force
