It would not be possible to make a fuller or more detailed report than does Clemson College. Not only does the Treasurer's annual report to the Legislature contain the usual summary of reeip'ts and expenditures, but this report of 159 pages lists each individual bill paid out of College funds is shown. Since the support of an educational institution is of interest and import ance to its patrons, the following brief summary for the last fiscal year, taken from the Treasurer's report to the Legislature, should be of interest: Income. Privilege tax on fertilizers........... ......$165,859.76 Morrill & Nelson funds (U. S.)................25,000.00 Interest on landseript Lund (U.

The South Carolina Experiment Station receives $30,000 from the United State Department of Agriculture for conducting agricultural research, but none of this money can' be used by the College. Likewiro the $10,000 from the Federal Smith-Lever Act can be used only for demonstration and extension work, under Federal suporvisivn. The money paid in by students for board, laundry, heat, light, and water, medical attention and incidentals, is held in trust by the College for the use of the cadets, and :s not used for College expenses. The following is a condensed summary of expenditures: Expenditures. 1. For operating expenses of College (salaries of teachers, labor ers, insurance, coal, shop and laboratory materials, etc.)... . $143,886.82 2. For buildings, permanent improvements and additions to shop and laboratory equipment................................ 87,688.83 3. For public work (fertilizer inspection and analysis, veterinary inspection, scholarships, branbh stations, etc., etc.)........... 81,828.99 Total.........................................$262,849.64 The decrease in the fertilizer tax to $156,859.76 would have necessitated cutting down the amount invested in public service, but for the balance of $67,192.84 which had been husbanded from previous years. During the pres ent fiscal year the College is continuing the public service by borrowing $62,(00 to supplement the fertilizer tax which this year is not likely mueh to exceed last year.
