University Appropriations and Hague Conference
By Editor
The University of California is feeling justifiably grieved, it seems to us, that more was not appropriated by a Legislature which is appropriating to so many things; $250,000 was asked for a new library, but nothing was granted; $250,000 was asked for an agricultural building; this was cut down to $150,000. Wisconsin gives to its State university this year $822,000, yet the university in that State asks for $190,000 more. The University of Illinois asks the State for the next two years $1,622,500 for running expenses, and for special purposes $536,000 more. The University of Missouri is asking for $1,710,600 for the coming year. It would seem that as much good as the University of California is doing the agricultural people of this State, its requests in this respect should have been granted. The coming Hague peace conference will probably convene June 15, tho it is not definitely settled. The "piece de resistance" of the program is said to be the question of disarmament and the limitation of armaments.
