biennium 1921-13, the following amount propria ted for building purposes: *- f rr B P Michigan (Universit) & Agricultural College)... 00 Ohio State (including Agricultural Ex] periment Station) 2A <O © iC Illinois. ... i, 500,000 Kansas (not including agriculture) 1,200,000 Minnesota 1,120,000 Iowa (University < . Agricultural College) N 00 Whose Is The University? T belongs to you, the people of Illinois. Some people talk and write as if the University officers, in asking for appropriations, were seeking personal ors. This is not true. As I have often said, it is no more to me, as a citizen, than to any other person of Illinois whether the University is worthy of the State. Others call the University " a burden to the taxpayers of the S t a t e . " Everything for which we have to pay is, in a sense, a burden. But an institution hichy like the I 'diversity, returns so much to the State is not in a true sense a burden. Our taxes for street lighting, highways, and every other public purpose, which are far greater than those for the University, are a burden only if we do not get back from them in service what we put into them. Education is an intment, -not a burden. The Future of the University N your hands, my fellow citizens, and not in mint lies the future of the I diversity. The elfare >/' Illinois is dependent on the higher education n{ a rowing number of future citizens and < n the pr 1 ution of research ana disci ry in all lines to pr mote pr uvss in economic, political, and so I I T h e r sponsibility \syoursy not mine. Mh responsi bilirv is to tell V U honestly what the I niversit\ O to mak<- it efficient. DAVID l\I\u \
