F E B R U A RY 19 3 6 The Presidents Page More State Appropriations Needed By College For Continued Growth In Educational Program "l/flCHIGAN State College cannot grow, expand or even carry on as at pres ent without substantial increases in state appropriations. The legislature of 1935 appropriated $1,352,266 for each of the two years of the present biennium and $175,000 for two sums were extension, but these both cut 5 per cent under authority given the Governor by the legislature in the general budget bill. The 5 per cent cut on the college appropriation amounted to $67,613 and that on exten sion to $8,750. To this latter cut, how ever, must be added $3,609, the short age in making up the state appropria tion of $178,609 for extension required as an off-set by the federal government and agreed to by previous legislatures. The two cuts and the extension short to pay age from college totaled $79,972, leaving a state appropriation of $1,272,- 294 for each year of the biennium for college salaries, maintenance, and oper ation. it was necessary (which funds) As the enrollment for the fall term of 1935 was 4,005, we were confronted with the problem of operating on an annual state appropriation of $367,954 less than two or three years previously, when there were 1,245 fewrer students on the campus. The rapid increase in numbers of students—700 for this year —has taxed the institution to the limit for classroom, laboratory, office and dormitory space. The great increase in student enrollment this year necessitated increases in the instructional staff at a total cost of $42,865. College Has Three Functions Michigan State College, like all other institutions of the land grant similar class, has three basic functions, namely, education, research and extension. The relationship of these three activities may be illustrated by the division of the totaled $2,157,- 1934-35 budget, which 212 and was allocated as follows: for educational activities, $1,387,412 or 65 per cent: for Agricultural and Home Economics Extension, $413,238 or 20 per cent; and for research, $356,561 or 15 per cent. In 1934-35 the resident teach ing staff numbered 309, extension staff, 137, and the Experiment Station staff, 125, totaling in all, 480. The state's extension appropriation for 1930-31 was $335,000; for 1931-32, $250,000; for 1932-33, $212,500; and for 1933-34, $178,609, representing a cut of 47 per cent from the 1930-31 figure. Basic Activities Retained The 1933 legislature appropriated for the college for the ensuing biennial period (1933-34 and 1934-35) $1,000,000 a year and $178,609 to meet the mini- Q| mum federal requirements of the Smith- Lever Extension Act. The annual college appropriation for this two-year period was, therefore, cut $640,284, or a total r e duction of $1,280,568 for the two years. At the beginning of this biennium the college was fortunate in having a reserve fund of approximately $480,000, which was divided between the two years. In addition to this, severe cuts were made salaries in operating budgets, were reduced by an average of about 15 per cent, and vacancies were not filled unless absolutely necessary. There _^ were some curtailments in certain lines, ^| but none of the basic activities of the institution was wrecked or thrown into discard and not a single individual was dropped from the resident research or teaching staffs. The college has come through intact, mainly because of the fine spirit in which the staff met the situation. Bankhead-Jones A ct Effective Partial replacement of salary cuts for the extension groups was made possible through additional federal aid provided A by the passage of the Bankhead-Jones to page 1) Act in June, 1935, (Turn Formal Request The State Board of Agriculture, at its January meeting, voted to request formally the Augmented State Administration Board for an emergency appropriation of $75,- 000 for Michigan State College. If granted, the board proposes to apply a portion of the sum re- quested toward a partial restora tion of the salary reductions made since 1931. The balance will be needed to provide maintenance and operating funds. flfc President R. S. Shaw The college receives its support from federal and state appropriations and miscellaneous r e c e i p t s, (principally fees). In 1934-35 the college received moneys from eight federal enactments, although these amounted to only 18 per cent of the total budget for the year. With the Bankhead-Jones Act, in effect this year for the first time, the amount of federal aid is raised to 24 per cent of the total budget and is now equiva lent to 42 per cent of our state appro priations. Of the nine federal appropri ation acts, seven make specific appro priations for either research or extension under rigid stipulations, and cannot be used for other purposes. The largest sum appropriated by legis lative enactment for salaries, mainten ance, and operation of the college was authorized by the 1931 legislature for each year of the biennium beginning on July 1 of that year. This annual appro priation amounted to $1,640,284, plus $250,000 for extension. By state admin istrative order in the spring of 1932, however, the appropriation was cut 15 per cent, resulting in a reduction for the second year of $246,042 on college account alone.

The act provides for further financial support for research, teaching and extension in the Land Grant Col leges established under the Morrill Act of 1862. the The act provides for research work to be conducted by the Experiment Sta tions established under the terms of the Hatch Act of 1887. "Research into the basic laws and principles relating to agriculture" is the designated purpose of this section of the act. Research funds states are to be divided among according to the ratio which the rural population of each state bears to the rural population of all the states. Forty per cent of the fund is allotted to the Secretary of Agriculture and sixty per cent is divided among the states. The allotment to the Michigan Experiment Station for is $16,741.96. The act provides for an in crease in funds for research each year for a period of four years. the present fiscal year The second title of the act provides for "the further development of co operative agricultural extension work under the terms of the Smith-Lever Act of 1914. Funds for extension purposes are to be divided among the states in the proportion that the farm population of each bears to the farm population of all the states. The allotment of funds to Michigan for the present fiscal year is $199,451.59. The act does not require that this fund be offset by state funds Governor Frank D. Fitzgerald State Executive Discusses Problems of Michigan Every Friday Afternoon. but it does require all Federal extension funds from Smith-Lever and supple mentary acts to be offset before any Bankhead-Jones funds become available to the state. Adjustments in other Federal funds previously used in the extension budget reduced the total net increase in funds available for the present year. Additional cooperative funds amounting to $11,000 were withdrawn by the Secretary of Agriculture and all Agricultural Adjust ment Administration funds being used to pay extension salaries and expenses replaced by Bankhead-Jones funds. This item amounted to $30,410. The discussions before Congressional committees pointed toward the use of these funds for the purpose of com pleting the extension organization in the various counties, especially in the fields of home economics and boys and girls club work. Plans are now nearly com pleted for extending these services to the entire staff through county and dis trict Home Demonstration Agents and Club Agents. County Agricultural Agent work now reaches seventy-nine of the eighty-three counties. From these funds it has been possible to strengthen the state staff in several important projects. A new relationship has been set up with the various counties, under which all salaries of county extension agents are now paid from State and Federal funds. Bankhead-Jones funds for extension purposes will increase each year for a period of four years.

Death Ends Judge Carpenter's Career William Leland Carpenter, a former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Michigan, and a graduate of Michigan State College with the class of 1875, died in his Detroit home on January 17. One of Michigan's most brilliant jur ists for more than fifty years, Judge Carpenter, because of his desire to re turn to active legal practice, resigned his position on the bench of the State Supreme Court in 1908 after serving for six years. Since that time he has been associated with the law firm, Stevenson, Carpenter, Butzel and Backus, as chief counsel. After his graduation from the Univer law school sity of Michigan in 1878, Judge Carpenter began his legal career in Detroit as a practicing lawyer. In 1894 he became Circuit Judge of Wayne County and continued in this capacity until his appointment to the Supreme Court in 1902.

The cost of these varies from $60,000 the Chemical Engineering for to $500,000 for a men's addition dormitory. There are many lesser needs, however. It is hoped that, through gifts or from other sources, money will be secured for the construc tion of a band shell, an outdoor stage to be located permanently adjacent to the Red Cedar River in the new lawn area south of the Chemistry Building. The slope of the ground in this section of the campus provides a setting for a natural amphitheater, to be used for the out-door band concerts and other spring term activities. A sum not to exceed $1,000 is needed for the construction of a water garden in connection with the additions to the Horticultural gardens in the new lawn area east of the Horticultural Building. The water garden will be a glorified pond with a simple fountain. When it is completed home owners will have an opportunity to see differ ent types of water plants as they should be grown. their they have reached it will not pay The college needs a new con servatory with greenhouses ad jacent to it.
