The appropriation for public service' from college funds was $76,020 in ad dition to the $168,070 appropriated by telh legislature. The fertilizer tax is reported as larger than usual this year, but so was the cost of making the inspection and analysis. President Riggs recommende(4to the -board tie creation of, a new depart ment to be known as the 'department of student affairs, and recommended Prof. ,D. H.

Tie board started a sinking fund for the 1prpose of building a new hospital just as soon as sufficient funds can be accumulated. 'hA es timate(ld cost of the hospital Is about $7',00.
