By a "Republican Hamlet
Tho United States Bureau of Edu
cation collects each yoar statistics of
stato universities, and other Institu
tions of higher education partly sup
ported by the state. This Information
has just been published as Bulletin
No. 422. The statistics cover the
yoar ending June 30, 1908. Using thlB
compilation as a basis of comparing
Nebraska with other Institutions of
the same class, tho following facts
have been ascertained:
' " ' Numtier'of Students. ' '
Minnesota 5,066
Illinois 4,972
Cornell 4,859
Michigan 4,554
Wisconsin 3,585
Nebraska '. 3,611
California 3,558
Wisconsin is placed above Nebras
ka although tho showing of students is
less. This is accounted for by the
fact that Wisconsin failed to report
for tho year 1909 to the bureau of ed
ucation, and consequently the figures
lor 1908 were substituted.
None of the other Institutions reach
ed the 3,000 mark.
Salaries Paid.
The maximum salaries paid profes
sors of tho various classes are given,
but there has evidently been some
confusion In tho reports. Thus, for
instance, under "professor" some In
stitution designate a dean's salary,
others the salary of tho head of a
department. In many Institutions no
distinction Is made between tho salar
ies of' deans and of other professors.
In one Institution where the maximum
salary of $5,000 .is reported, it is known
that tho report relates to only a
single dean, and that the average sal
ary paid to a professor in that insti
tution Is lower than that paid in o
braska. Wherever tho professor 1b
given a house in addition to his sal
ary, $500 has been added In making
up this comparison. Tho list of max
imum salaries runs as follows:
Cornell $6,500
Iowa 5,000
California 5,000
Illinois 4,500
Missouri 4,500
Okjahoma 4,000
Wisconsin 4,000
Minnesota 3.700
Rutgers Collogo , 3,600
Michigan . 3,500
Maximum Figures.
Colorado' School of Mines, Connecti
cut Agricultural College, Dolowaro
College, University of Georgia, Michi
gan Agricultural College, Montana
Stato School of Minos, Pennsylvania
Stato Collogo, University of Texas and
tho University of Nebraska, pay a
maximum salary of $3,000 each. Most
of ttio other Institutions pay salaries
lowor than these, and these figures
Bhould not bo- taken to Indicate In
any way tho average salaries paid in
tho various 'Institutions. It is inter
esting to note, however, that there Is
no special relationship between tho
size and tho fame of a school and the
maximum salary paid.- For Instance,
Oklahoma reports one salary of, $4,000,
while tho maximum in Ohio stato Uni
versity Is given at $2,800.
Tho lowest figure reportod as tho
jhaxlmum salary of a professor In any
Institution, Is f 480 with a house, This
Is In ono of tho state colleges for col
ored ajtudenta. The lowest ..maximum
professorial salary reported In any

The pangs of vanished hopes, tho law's dobaugh,
The Insolence of office-holders, and the spurns

institution for whito studentB, is $1,500
without a house.
Tho salaries" of presidents range
from $10,000 per year, Including a
heated and lighted houBo, to $2,200
without a house. The lowosfc salary
including a house, Ib $1,200, paid to
tho president of ono of tho stato col
leges for colored students. If a thous
and dollars a year bo assumed as tho
valuo of a heated and lighted house,
there are thirteen presidents "who aro

Nebraska, six tho same salary, while
balance of J hose reporting receive a
lesser amount.
The figures for the total income for
the year aro also somewhat uncertain
since fost of tho institutions do not
wind up the year's business on Juno
30th and in some instances tho grand
total for tho year represents tho re
ports given for 1908 Instead of for
1909.
Annual Expenditures.
Tho expenditures of tho various In
stitutions aro In part as follows:
Illinois $1,693,999
California 1,505,664
Cornell : 1,438,707
I Minnesota 1.276,246
Wisconsin - 1.1G5.55U
Michigan 1.162,397
Ohio 783.726
Stato College of Washington 664,711
Nebraska ! 647,830
Missouri 640,197
IoWa Agricultural College... 604,022
Iowa State University 548,110
University of Washington... 502,000
None of tho other Institutions show
an expenditure of more than $500,000.
These figures Includo buildings as woll
as current expenses.
The following shows tho quotient
obtalnod by dividing tho total expendi
ture of each institution receiving more
than $500,000 by tho total number of
its students:
Illinois $340
California 432
Cornell ! 296
Minnesota 251
Wisconsin 325

Ohio ....!. 309
State-College of Washington 534
Nobraska, 3J9
Missouri 252
Iowa ' Agricultural College 229
Iowa Stato University 221
University of Washington 298
Tho principal conclusion to bo
drawn from tho figures presented is
that Nebraska Is educating its stu
dents at a very low rate per capita,
and a reasonable Inference Is that the.
professors here are putting In a nmxU
mum amout of time In teaching and'
that many of tho classes aro too jargq
for tho host development of tho stu'
dent. "

Ballinger and Plnchor havo,up to
tho present time been names that

ears within tho confines of tho campus.
Insurgent has boon a term about
which only tho dim mists of history
clung. But tho lethargy which has
pervaded tho political atmosphere at
Nebraska is at length to bo torn to
shreds and tho stern cry of tho Insur
gents will echo from tho administra
tion building to Nebraska hall and
back again.
Result of City Movement.
Such is tho portent of the meeting
to bo hold Tuesday night. Tho meet
ing 1b called forth by tho same feeling
that brought about tho recent meet
ing of prominent Lincoln men who en
dorsed tho Insurgont movomont as rop
resonted by Sonators Dolllvor, Cum
mins, LaFollotte, Nelson and Brlstow.
A club of university men who aro In
favor of this trend in national poll
tics may oven bo formed. Although
all men In tho university who aro In
favor of "Insurgency" are urged to at
tend tho meeting, those, in chargo say
that no ono will ho pledged to take
any definite stand by their attendance.
Not only are tho students of tho
university to tako an active part in
tho meeting, but it is repqrted that
prominent Lincoln men, together with
members of tho faculty, will bo in at
tendance. Addresses on the history
of "insurgency" and tho proposed or
ganization In tho university will bo
given.
Strenuous efforts are being put forth
by tho BCholarly-lnsurgonts already In
terested in the movement to awaken
their less volatile brethren to action.
Tho exact magnitude of the movement
in the university at tho present time
is difficult to ascertain. The call to
arms has boon made. Tho roBults
cannot be foretold until Tuesday.

counties over tho stato. Gos'por county
has telegraphed that It will tako ono
hundred platOB at the bqnquot and
Douglas county may oven tako a bpo
clal train if tho prosont plons aro car
ried through.
With this agitation going on In vari
ous parts of tho stato and with occa
sional accesB to a nowspapor it Is not
difficult to see how tho movomont haa
at length penetrated tho seclusion of
tho university. Followers of Ropro
sontatlvo Norrls, who Is leador of thlB
movement in tho Iioubo, and of Sona
tors Dolllvor, Cummins and IaFol

senate, aro at length to havo an op
