The progress of a State University is to be judged not so much by the size of the appropriations made to it by successive legislatures as by the manner in which such appropriations are utilized. Nevertheless a steady increase in the biennial appropriations, obtained as these are from groups of men the personnel of which is constantly changing, affords reasonably certain evidence that the University has won the confidence of the greater number of the citizens of the State, that it is developing in accordance with their desires, and that it is meeting the various obligations which in increasing numbers are being laid upon it year after year. The voting by the legislature of 1911 of an annual mill tax for the support of the University of Illinois is a further unmistakable expression of this confidence. The act in full is as follows: AN ACT to Provide by State Tax for a Fund for the Support and Maintenance of the University of Illinois*
