LINCOLN March 3.-Speclal.-Tho ( ) per-
AIAtenco with which the friends 01 the State
university are tnteavorlng to secure appro-
pratvo legislation for that Insttuton Is t
one of the noteworthy features 01 the Ilres-
ent se8slon. The energy with which mcm-
trs , 'Irlently to the university , but more i
\us '
frely : to the taxpayers have opposed It'
Is equally noteworthY. No subject has como
lore the house that has 11rovoke,1 , more
lieateil discussion. There have been more
continuatIons , mrre Informal caucuses , more
canvnslng from seat to seat among tire
member over this matter than over any
other subject so far discussed at the present
less Ion.
The regents naked the legislature for
I haI.ml levy for the ensuing two years
' for the construction of new buildings . This
tine mouse rehae(1 ( to give , but the senate
after hunting the amount to be produced
by the levy to $ &O,000 . passed the bill. The
senate \i Is now Pending In the hou3e.
There Is also pending In the house 1 bill appropriating -
propriating the sum of $80,000. to bo devoted -
voted to the completion of the library bul .
Ing. I Is to he t passage of one of these
two bilis-posstbly hath-that the champions -
plans of university enlargement are bending
al their energies.
The alumni made a strong showing for
themselves . In their annual report to the
governor. Indeed l. their showing Is so etrong
that I borders upon the hysterical. I Is
lboraly punctuated with Indignant excanla- !
ton points and Interspersed with sanguinary
lislics. There Is n tinge of pathos In the
lRlclsed exclamaton that "It 19 seven years
since n building has ] been erected upon the
campus by legislatve grant" There Is a
Mosaic significance to this reference to se"en
yeara at lamlne. Then the regents assert
that "Ne raska has given to Its university I
buIldings just $25.600. " The mlserere closes
with tha mournful assertion that "no other
state line treated liz university so shabbily
, as' to buildings . " and that 'today Nebraska
- owes the State University $275.000. " coupled
with the threat that "In part , nt least this
debt must be paid at once , or 1 w1 bo
necessary next year to cut down the enrolment -
rolment nrblrarly to 800. "
This proclamation Is signed by four citizens
of Lincoln , Judge Field ] . Edward P. Holmes
Henry H. Wilson and Sam D. Cox. the latter
being a reporter on the Daily State Joun11.
NEBHASKA AND HIGHER EDUCATION.
I may be safely assumed that the people
of Nebraska are as keenly alIve to the Interests -
threats of hIgher education . that they arc
.as progressive In their desire to keep pace
with modern educational advancement that
they hold ns much pride In their state unl.
vcrsly as any people In the great midwest
contingent of stntes. i3tit , on tine other
hand they are not In condition to tax them-
selves out of house and home for collegiate
education.
The University ot Nebraska was opened
In 187. and since that time up to and In-
eluding the appropriation of 1893. has cost
the people of this al to $1,319.21.
The University of Iowa was established
In 184. but not actnaly opened as a unl-
verJly until 1860. al1 up to and IncludIng
the appropriation of 1893. has spent $1.015-
733. And lawn Inns double the population
and three times tire taxable wealth ot Ne-
braska.
The University of Iowa hl" maintaIned In
" : i addition to Its literary and scientific cur-
rictnium a college of medicine and a college
of law for nearly twenty years.
The University of Nebraska . which since
171 , has spent 1,39.21. , has graduated up
to tine present time ,138 students.
The University ! of Iowa whIch since 1860 '
ha spent ti.045.73. has graduated 2,725
studen'ts. .
Since its foundation It has cost the University -
sly of . Nebraska 3,080 ' for each student grad.
Since its foundation In 1860 I bas cost tine
University at Iowa $280 for each student
graduated.
A comparhon of these figures wilt tel the
story of the past extravagant management
of the Nebraska university. Had tine re-
gents of tire Nebraska university conscrved
r their funds for the past twenty years , instead .
stead of expending largo sums In side shows
anti kinulergartens . there would today be
In the university treasury a um sulclent
to build several of the buildings now so
urgently needed.
