been stimulated by the belief that the people would not tolerate it in their technical university. Surely they ought not to do so. The pride of the people of the State will not be satisfied with anything less than the best. Now all this costs money, and will continue to cost money. I have tried to show in this report that very large and valuable results have been obtained from the expenditures that have been thus far made for the benefit of the University. I have also shown that the amount of money spent upon Purdue is comparatively small, and when it is remembered that of the actual cost of Purdue the State has paid and is paying less than one-half, it will be realized that, in the establishment and maintenance of the institution, the State has made a good investment. In view of all this, is it not reasonable to expect that the people of the State will be willing to accord to the University that generous support which it has hitherto received. October 1, 1898.
