Show V. of TJ. NEWS -, The biennial report of the board of regents. of the University of Utah for the years 1920-1922 Is off the press andi is being distributed by President George Thomas to state officials and members of the state legislature. "Our institution," says President Thomas, "has experienced a growth in attendance in an intensified form. During the biennium now closing the student population has increased "95. To care for them has drawn heavily on our maintenance fund and taxed our physical accommodations to the very limit." "This rapid increase of students," continues President Thomas, "and the actual decline in revenue presents pre-sents a really serious problem in the management of the state university. Enforced economies have reached their limits, and if we function as a university, with the present or an increased in-creased attendance, more revenue is imperative." "We need more revenue" says W. Van Cott, chairman of the board of regents, "first to provide for a larger larg-er teacher staff. It is impossible for the institution to operate with over an eight hundred increase in attendance atten-dance in two years and not require an enlarged instructional staff." |
