Recently we were compell"d to remove tho hooks from one room and stack them upstairs, in order to Kt unotlnfr recitation recita-tion room. We need live or six rooms for the art and painting department. Only one little room Ih available for the department of music, and In tlie museum we were compelled to remove the collections collec-tions of forty years out of two large rooms Into one small room and in the halls and corners. In order to cut the other rooms up Into recitation rooms. I The depurlment of geology has practl-tnlly practl-tnlly no room at all, and but a small percentage per-centage of ths work that should bo done in this department Is being accomplished. More room and more help Is nfctssary to clear up tho vast amount of geological geologi-cal work that lies before the institution. institu-tion. There Ih no provision for a psychological psycho-logical laboratory in the normal department, depart-ment, nor for nature study, now becoming becom-ing one of the leading departments of modern research work. The secretary's office Is crowded and in every department depart-ment we are confronted with tho demand for inoru room. Research work is entirely en-tirely neglected, student activities have no room to expand; bacteriology is hampered ham-pered on account of the lack of space suitable; the work of the law department Is done at the city and county building, land the law library of the supreme court j is at the Horvlee of the students; preparatory prepara-tory work In the medical department Is lone for the most part at the hospitals. There Is no storeroom for machinery and materials, and there is no place or way of disposing of things that accumulate In the different departments. According to President Kingsbury, there arc -J'J coursos of stu'1- in tho schools of arts and sciences, schools of mines. Inw school and school of medicine. med-icine. There nro five courses in tho school of mines alone, each of four years. The attendance at the summer school last year was more than 500 teachers from all parts of tho stato, who received special instruction in many lines. In the graduate department depart-ment there is much work being done in scientific and research investigation, and the desiro of tho faculty is to increase this lino of work. President Kingsbury snys that graduate work consists of work done in laboratory and research by graduates from the college courses, tho motive for this being to ndd to the sum of human knowledge. President Kingsbury submitted tho following fol-lowing list of needs of the university for the next two years; For salaries, fuel, printing, advertising, ad-vertising, stationery, Insurance. Insur-ance. Janitor services, repairs, telephones, gas. electric light and power, state fair expenses, summer school, general Improve- f ments, miscellaneous, etc $300,000 p (The university has an Income of about STi'.OOO. reducing this amount to $225,000.) 1'or the school of arts and sciences, sci-ences, thirteen departments, etc 1S.201 For the medical school, five departments, de-partments, books and apparatus, appa-ratus, etc 2,110 For the school of mines, nine departments, de-partments, the sum of 3S, 424 (This department will always require more money to keep it up than nny other, for the reason rea-son that the school is compelled to keep up-to-date machinery. i:tc.. and keep abreast of the new Inventions constantly coming com-ing to the front.) !.-.. 11. ..n,w.l Jar. -I I training school, seven departments depart-ments - 1,032 For general library purposes 5,600 For Improvement of grounds, grading, cement walks, etc 15,000 For part of money for main building build-ing 50,000 For the branch normal at Cedar City, for all purposes 46.065 Remarks by Mr. Riter. President l?itcr of the board of regents re-gents welcomed the legislature and then launched into a tribute to the University of Utah, its faculty, its student body and its performances in the education of the youth of U'tah in the many years it had been established. He. declared it to bo the superior of nny university in the whole country. ;'T want to compliment the faculty," Ire said, '"'on its splendid work. " fn all tho years it has been one of the most highly educated faculties in the country, and it is a stronger and better bet-ter faculty than thoso of cither Yale or Harvard. They have a keener quality qual-ity of brain than the members of the faculty of any other institution of learning anywhere." President Hiter's remarks brought out applause from the student body. Mr. Riter" then introduced the governor gov-ernor of Utah. This was the signal' for another round of the college yells under the leadership of Richard V. Young, dr.. and Uovornor Spry told the students that they could rest, assured as-sured that the present legislature would give to the university what it needed, and that they could consider their future fu-ture education safe. At the completion of the inspection of the classrooms the visitors were conducted to tho big building, where, in the assembly Hall, the student body was assembled ready to welcome thorn. The. members of the legislature and their friends were sealed on the stand. When all were seated W. AV.

Senator Gardner Heard. President Gardner of the senate was introduced and gave the students a brief talk. It was juM; after Richard Y . oung, Jr.. had addressed tho assembly as-sembly in behalf of the student bod v. rhcro was a suggestion of rebuke in President Gardner's romarks when he said that the young should remqmber that, while they wore prospering in tho educational facilities of tho present, pres-ent, their happy ;nid hopeful condition condi-tion was only duo to the hard scr- I vice m that direction of their predecessors, prede-cessors, who had not been able to educate ed-ucate their children without, in most instances, making a sacrifice. In the best and kindest wav he told the students stu-dents to remember that what thev now enjoy was not secured without many a sacrilice. nnd closed with the assurance that the legislature would see that tho neods of the university were provided for. Spoakor Robinson's View. Mr. Riter then presented Speaker Kob'.nson of the house, who. addressing tho students, told them a story of" his own school davs. He was a student at Provo, he said, and ho needed books His parents know he must have books and the books came, but ho later found at what a sacrifice it was to his parents, pa-rents, and he noticed that while his own hands were soft and white his father's fa-ther's were hard and cut with toil, and he realized the sacrilice. Complimentary Compli-mentary mention of the alumni of tho University of Utah was made, and further assurancos that the necessary money would be provided for the improvements. im-provements. Whoa he closed his address ad-dress the glee- club sang the univer-( univer-( sity ragtime .jingle. , OtVor Addresses. Mr. Riter then introduced David II. Morris as one of the minority. Ho as- surcd the students that the minority I was for everything the university needed, and that if the Republican majority ma-jority would turn tho funds of the stute over to the Democratic minority the needs of the university would be filled. i' B. Hammond," the other minority member, was introduced and told the students that his mother, Mary .lane Dihvorthy, was the first schoolteacher in li'tah. ' Wuldeniar Van Cott, for twenty years one of tho regents of the university, addressed the visitors for a few minutes, min-utes, and gave a brief histor of the struggles and the progress of tho institution. in-stitution.
