• FACTS FOR FRESHMEN 89 In May, 1911, a law was passed providing for a one mill tax on all the assessed property of the State for the support of the University. Previously the University had had a somewhat uncertain source of support. From the general government it is receiving annually $112,000.00; from students' fees, exclusive of the Chicago departments, about $95,000.00; and from the interest on the endowment $32,000.00. For all other sums it was dependent upon the biennial appropriations of the General Assembly of the State, which was indefinite and uncertain. The one mill tax puts the regular support of the University upon a safer foundation, and assures a regular income. No other event in the history of the institution is more important than the passage of this bill. •
