212 Sixteen Years at the University of Illinois 2 10 Home Economics Smith-Lever Service Veterinary Science Total * 37 181 The number of full professors in this College increased during the period from six to thirty-one, and the number of associate professors and assistant professors from three to twenty-one. In 1903-04 the College and Station were receiving a total of $189,000 annually from the Federal Government and the State of Illinois. For the year 1919-20 the total sum expended by the College and Station was $949,080. Kapid as the increase has been in the funds available for the College and Station, the income has not kept pace with the increasing demands as indicated by the number of students, the higher grade of work called for, and by the greatly increased demand for experimental investigation. Sixteen years ago nearly all the instructional work was elementary, as demanded by the large preponderance of lower classmen. Now with 150 (235) seniors and 43 (66) graduate students, conditions have notably changed, and the call is primarily for highly differentiated instruction. The development has been no less important in regard to research. The problems calling for solution in the state are difficult ones requiring the most careful research by judicious and well-trained men. Numerous and expensive publications are necessary. The regular mailing list l a s reached a total of 43,000, while a supplementary list contains approximately 60,000 names. Up to the summer of 1920, 225 bulletins and 240 circulars had been issued by the Station. The value of agricultural equipment, exclusive of furniture and fixtures, has increased from $60,425.37 to $291,948.69. In 1904 the College possessed only a small number of animals. The number now owned fluctuates greatly from year to year, but is approximately 1,100, consisting of about 150 dairy cattle, 500 hogs, 70 horses, 204 sheep, and 175 beef cattle. Amon g the animals are many specimens that would distinguish any collection. In addition there are about 2,500 chickens, turkeys and other kinds of poultry.
