EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:



PREFACE The text of the following study was prepared by my secretaries beginning with Dr. E. J. Pilbey and ending with Mr. Gerald D. Stopp. Dr. V. V. Phelps worked over portions of it very carefully and aside from those already mentioned I am under deep obligations to Mr. L. J. Heath and to Miss Anna V. Whitson for their unwearied attention to detail and their care for accuracy in the figures given. After all, there will be found many inaccuracies and inconsistencies. In many cases, the university figures do not harmonize and there is no method of making them agree, which shows the necessity of a closer supervision of university accounts. The figures of attendance as kept by the different authorities and even the accounts of moneys expended do not harmonize. It is believed that the present method of accounting will secure substantial agreement. This book will serve as the starting point of a new and better system of keeping accounts of all sorts relating to the University and it is to be hoped that the next statistical volume will be a marked improvement over this one.

EDMUND J. JAMES.
