Speaking of the Tree scolarshipa recently
offered by the Board of Trustees, President
Storms today said:
"The fifty scholarships are intended toJ
aid the needy and the desrving. A scholar
ship generally means free tuition. At Ames
tuition Is and for yesrs has been free. Con
sequently the scholarship ran be used to
meet contingent expenses incurred at the
college.
"We recognise In the county superintend
ent the best possible sgency to select the
on most entitled to th scholarship, and con
aquently have empowered this officer to
make the appointment aubject to the ap
proval of the superintendent of schools In
the city where the appointee graduate.
"The total increase In attendance at the
college during Hre last two years has been
bout 300 a number sufficiently large to
keen the Institution embarrassed every
year for lack of funds to meet increased
expenses for additional equipment and
teaching force. The state college, however.
belongs to the people, and the trustees as
wall as all sections of the state. It is the
hop of the trustee that the scholarships
offered will be the means of encouraging
filty additional young people to enter upon
college courses."
