UNIVERSITY OP TEXAS, AusTIN, TEXAs, December 8, 1890. His Excellency L. S. Ross, Governor of Texl\8 : In compliance with section 21 of act to establish the University of Texas approved March 30, 1881, requiring at each session of the Legislature a report to be rendered showing the condition of the University, its receipts and disbursements, etc., the Regents beg leave to submit the following: I.

B. Clark, Proctor of the University (Exhibit D). The statement of disbursemnts from June 28 to November 28t 1890 ($14,556.45), will be included in the next (fifth) Biennial Report of the Re­gents. It can be seen from the above summary of the receipts and disbursements of the University that the Regents have kept the expenses within the income. At no time since the organization of the University has there been a deficit. This has been a constant, permanent policy, and in the future no deficit shall occur, unless there is an unforeseen shrinkage in some anticipated revenue. II. PERMANENT ENDOWMENT. The permanent endowment of the University consists of (A) Bonds, (B) Land Notes, (C) Lands. A. Bonds.-The State holds in trust for the University certain State bonds, as set forth in the following statement from the Comptroller: Amount. _ ___ ~-et_.--i------B-o-nd_s_.------1---W-he_n_n_u_e.

These deficits amount in the aggregate at present, according to the statement of the Treasurer (Exhibit F), to $10,241.55. This amount is back interest, and should be collected; or, in case of failure to collect within a reasonable time, the land should be forfeited and resold. C. Lands.-The classification, location, and condition of the lands given to the University at various times were fully set forth in the last Bienni&l Report of the Regents (pp. 6-10). There has been no material change since then except that the applications for leases under the regulations allowing a rate of three cents per acre and a term of ten years have perceptibly increased. According to report of Treasurer (Exhibit G) there have been leased up to December 13, 1890, 352,160 acres at three cents per acre. The University derives from this source an annual income at present of $10,564.80. T.he date of each lease, the name of lessee, the county in which the tra.ct is situ­ated, the number of acres, the term of the lease, and the yearly payment are all given m statement of Treasurer (Exhibit G) before referred to. From present indications it can, perhaps, be safely inferred that the remaining 1,64 7,840 acres of University lands still unleased will in the course of a com­paratively short time be the source of such an income as will largely relieve the State of the necessity of supporting the University from the general rev­enue. Until that time arrives, however, it will be necessary to supplement the present income by an appropriation, if the Main University at Austin is to advance in its equipment and consequent efficiency, and if the Medical De­partment at Galveston is to be organized and open to students. From what has been stated it may be seen that the present income of the University is as follows: 1) Income from bonds ..... ..............................$34,268 60 2) Income from land notes . . . . . . . . . . • . . . . . • . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4, 102 19 3) Income from leases . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10,564 80 ~ Total income from endowment ...........••.•............ $48.935 59 To this total may be added the annual fees of students, which last year amounted to $3830.

THE PRESENT CONDITION OF THE UNIVERSITY. The University at present consists of the Main University at Austin, com· posed of the Academic and Law Departments, the Technical Branch at Col· lege Station, known as the Agricultural and Mechanical College, and the Medical Department at Galveston, not yet open to students. The Agricultural and Mecham'cal College is mentioned here because by con­stitutional and statutory provisions it is a branch of the University, and therefore entitled to a part of the University's income. It has, however, a separate income from a bonded endowment, a recognized constitutional right of support from the general revenues, and a large annual appropriation from the general government. Its income is received and disbursed by an inde­pendent Boa.rd of Directors, who will doubtless report to your Excellency all t~e needs and requirements of this branch of the University. It may not be out of place to say that, in the opinion of the Regents, the Agricultural and Mechanical College, owing to the peculiar value of the instruction given there, should be generously aided by the Legislature, and in estimating the amount of aid to be rendered by the State it is respectfully suggested that no account should be taken of the appropriation from the Federal government. This should be considered so much clear gain, anct the State should gladly supple­ment it by a liberal appropriation. This appropriation, however, should be made from the genera.I revenues, and not (except in a mere nominal amount, as at present) from the available fund of the University. It would be un­wise to cripple the Main University in order to build up one of its branches. The State of Texas, with its abundant resources, is amply able to provide lib­erally for the University and for all its branches, and at this stage of their de­velopment it would be disastrous to allow either the University or any one of its branches to suffer on account of an insufficient support. A. .The Main University at Austin is composed at present, as already stated, of the Academic and Law Departments. These two departments occupy the same building, and are under one organization. A Chairman of the Faculty is annually elected by the professors of the two departments. "It is his duty to prepare the business for the meetings of the Faculty, to execute its orders and regulations, to preside at its meetings, an:l to prepare e.nd submit to the Faculty, for amendment and approval, the annual report to the Board of Re· gents." The office of Chairman of the Faculty was created by the eighth sec· tion of the act establishing the University of Texa.s, approved April 1,1881, and is the only provision ma.de for the executive control of the University. UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS. As ~he institution grows, however, and its affairs become more complicated, the need of a permanent head, who shall be responsible directly to the Re­gents and not to the Faculty, becomes more and more apparent. For this reason it is respectfully requested that the present act establishing the Uni· varsity be so amended by the Twenty-second Legislature as to allow the Re­gents, at their own discretion, to elect a President or Chancellor, with such powers as are usually conferred upon similar officers of other institutions of same character and grade as the University of Texas. The Faculty-Law and Academic-of the Main University consists of pro­fessors, associate professors, adjunct professors, and assistant professors. Professors are appointed without express limitation of time, associate profes­sors for five years, adjunct and assistant professors for three years. Professors, associate professors, and adjunct professors have charge of distinct schools; assistant professors are assigned to schools p:resided over by an instructor of higher rank. Including these professors there are at present in the Univer­sity nineteen officers of instruction and government, to-wit: Eight professors, two associate professors, three adjunct professors, two assistant professors, two tutors, one lady assistant, and one proctor and librari11.n. The chairs filled, the subjects taught, and the duties performed by each of these are stated in Exhibit H, under the head " Faculty." 'l'he salaries paid these officers of instruction and government amount in the aggregate to $47,500, and average $2500. The Students during the session 1889-90 numbered 307, divided as follows: In Academic Department . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 228 In Law Department. . . . . . . . . . . . . • . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . • • . . . 79 Total in University. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 307 In Arts Course . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 32 In Letters Course... .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50 In Science Course . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 52 In Certificate Course . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 'l'otal Regular Academic Students. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 143 Irregular and Special Academic Students . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 87 Post-Graduate Academic Class . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 Senior Academic Class . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . • . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12 Junior Academic Class . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 7 Sophomore Academic Class . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27 Freshman Academic Class. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 83 Total in Regular Aca.d&mic Classes . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 143 Senior Law Class. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 31 Junior Law Class . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 37 Total in Regular Law Classes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 68 Special Students in Law Department. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11 Males . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. .. . ...... . 259 Females. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 48 Total............. . . . ................... . ..... . ....... 307 Average age on entering, 20 yea.rs, 6 months, 27 days. The total number of students the past year (307) is the largest in the his· tory of the University. As a matter of fa.ct there has been an encouraging growth in the number of students for the la.st five years, as is shown by the following table: 1885-86, totaJ in a.ttenda.nce. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . • • . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 199 1886-87, total in attendance..... . .. . . . . . . . . . . .......... . ....... 245 1887-88, total in attendance. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 250 1888-89, total in attendance... . . . . . • • . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 278 1889-90, total iri attendance..... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ... 307 This has ta.ken place notwithstanding the fact that the requirements for entrance are higher now than they were five years ago, and from year to yea.r have heen more closely enforced. If the number of students continues to increase, as is likely, the necessity for more instructors will, independent of other considerations, become more pressing. A gratifying feature in connecl.ion with these statistics is the fact that they show a. marked increase in the number of those who enter as regular stu dents. The Freshman Class, which is composed entirely of regular students, numbered, during the session of 1887-88, 46; session of 1888-89, 57; this session, 1889-90, it numbered 83. The Brackenridge Hall, the gift of Mr. Geo. W. Brackenridge, of San Antonio, one of the Regents of the University, has lately been completed and is now open for occupants. It is a hall for st.udents containing lodging rooms and a restaurant. The building is of brick, trimmed with stone, four stories high, with mansard roof. It is heated throughout by the Bolton hot water system, which insures the greatest cleanliness with the greatest amount of comfort and safety. The lowest story or basement contains a large dining room 40x54, the kitchen, pantry, store room, etc. The other three stories contain twenty· four rooms, each 22xl5. These three stories are divided by a solid brick partition into practically two buildings, each having its separate entrance, stairways, and corridors. In each of these buildings there is on every floor a suite of four rooms opening upon a corridor; and to each rnite of four rooms there is accessible a water closet and bath room, supplied at all hours with hot a.nd cold water. Each room has a large bay window, a roomy wardrobe, and is fitted up with gas fixtures. In short, the Brackenridge Hall is supplied with every convenience and is as attractive as a first class modern residence. It is expected that the occupants of the rooms will appreciate this effort to give them commodious and elegant apartments, and that they will heartily assist the Faculty in the enforcement of such regulations as will keep the building free from disorder and wanton defacement. The present Hall is intended for young men. A like gift to erect a Hall for young women would be most opportune. As now situated they are in a certain sense less able to reduce their expenses than the young men, since they a.re restricted in their choice of boarding houses by other considerations than the price of board. The wish is expressed that this munificent gift, the first of its kind in the history of the University, may lead some other citizen of Texas to erect a similar building for the young women of the State. The Brackenridge Hall has now (December 16) been open fifteen days, and is giving, according to the report of the Steward (Exhibit I), complete satis· faction. Attention is especially called to the bill of fare for breakfast, dinner, and supper, given in Steward's report. It will be seen from these that the problem of cheap, excellent board for students in the University is solved. No young man in Texas can now be denied a liberal education on account of the cost of living in Austin, and the charge that the State University is "the rich man's school" will never hereafter be made hy any intelligent man. B. The Medical Department of the University of Texas was located, as is well known, a.t Galveston by a vote of the people a.tan election held Septem­ber 6, 1881. From that date until May, 1888, there were no steps taken to establish this department, simply because the Regents had no funds for the purpose At the called session of the Twentieth Legislature, however, during the spring of 1888, the sum of $50,000 was appropriated for the erection of buildings for the Medical Department, at Galveston. (General Appropriation Act, approved May 17, 1888.) As stated in Third Biennial Report (p.age 13), steps were immediately taken to carry out the directions of the Legislature; plans were adopted for the buildmgs and a contract entered into with the city to furnish a suitable block for their erection. Subsequently the Twenty.first Legislature appropriated $25,000 for the purchase of the grounds and the city of Galveston appropriated $25,000 for the building, making with the appro­priation of $50,000 by the Twentieth Legislature for the building $75,000 in all. Block 669 in the city of Galveston was selected as a suitable site, and the entire block was purchased for the State, "except a small portion off of the northeast corner across which the Galveston Western Railroad nms." The contract for erecting the building was awarded October 11, 1889, to A. Baum­bach, and the Regents are now able to report that it is nearly finished. in ac­cordance with the plans and specifications, at a cost of $7 5,000. Great ca.re has been taken, in both the plan and material of construction, that the build­ing should serve when completed the purposes for which it is intended. As a result the State and University have, it is believed, a medical .college ad­mirably adapted for the most modern and the most advanced instruction in therapeutics and surgery. In connection with the Medical Department it may be well to call attention again to the John Sealy Hospital-a gift from the city of Galveston to the University. The hospital, which cost $60,000, 18 on a block adjoining the Medical College, and has been open several years. The hospital is now leased to the city of Galveston at a nommal rent, and is oper­ated without expense to the State. The character and amount of work done there is fully shown in a statement appended to this Report, marked Exhibit J. Students of the Medical School will have, under certain regulations, fl.'ee ac­cess to the John Sealy Hospital, and the professors of the school will be al lowed to give clinical lectures in the hospital. IV. THE IMMEDIATE NEEDS OF THE UNIVERSITY. A. The Main University at Austin needs at present ( 1) a fund sufficient to complete the Assembly Hall of the central building, and to heat the entire building with steam or hot water; (2) a fund with which to build and equip a laboratory; (3) a fund with which to erect the east wing; (4) an appropria­tion from the general revenue to supplement the available fund in paying cur­rent expenses and make additions to the library. (l) The Assembly Hall in the northern wing has never been completed in accordance with the original plans. These plans contemplated a gallery with a seating capacity of 800, an orchestra gallery above this, and the equipment of the stage with side scenes and background screens. The acoustic qualities of the Assembly Hall are at present defective, but with the addition of these galleries and stage equipments it is believed that these defects will be cured, and that the University will then have the most complete and perfect audi· ence room in the State, with a seating capacity of 2000. It is estimated that $5000 will be sufficient for these necessary additions. The present mode of heating the building is by means of stoves, which is inefficient, expensive, and dangerous. The corridors and the Assembly Hall are not heated at all, while the temperature of the lecture rooms can not be satisfactorily regulated. The-large amount of coal consumed, and the neces­sary employment of additional servants, adds largely to the expense of run­ JOHN SEALY HOSPITAL, MEDICAL DF,PARTMENT UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, GALVESTON. ning the University. The inefficiency and expense, however, of the pre~nt method of heating the building are insignificant in comparison with the dan­ger that attends it. At any time, from accident or from carelessness on the part of attendants, the Umversity building may catch fire and with its valua­ble contents be entirely consumed, thus subjecting the State and the cause of higher education to an almost irreparable loss. It is estimated that it will take $10,000 to fit the entire building with boilers, pipes, and radiators for either steam or hot water heating. (2) The Chem£cal Laboratory is at present in the basement of the west wing of the Umversity building. lt is in every respect unsuitably located, as is fully shown in statement of Prof. Everhart (Exhibit K). It can not accom­modate the students at present attending the School of Chemistry; it is ill lighted and always damp owing to the fact that it is situated in the basement of one wing of a large bmlding; it is badly ventilated, and consequently the health of the students and instructors is constantly put in jeop11-rdy; and its presence is a standing menace to the entire building, owing to the presence and use of combustibles and explosives. The Chemical Laboratory should be in a separate fireproof structure, and so equipped as to answer all the purposes of the University for years to come. To construct such a building as would serve the ends of a University of the first class will cost, it is esti­mated, $40,000. . It may not be out of place to suggest that the chemical work necessary for the Geological Survey might be done at the University if a laboratory be built of the kind and equipment indicated. In this way the State would be saved the expense of equipping and running two chemical laboratories in the same city. It is hardly necessary in this Report to emphasize the great importance of thorough instruction in chemistry. The science underlies nearly all the useful arts,. and the State needs to-day nothing so much as well taught, skillful chemists. What some of our graduates from this department are now doing is mentioned by Prof. Everhart in his report (Exhibit K). What they might do m the future if the University were able to command the use of a thoroughly equipped laboratory and of a much needed increase in the teaching force of that school it would be difficult to estimate. (3) The East Wing of the University, building, as may be seen at a glance, has never been erected. With the present teaching force and the number of students now in attendance such an a1ldition would be a great advantage. But in the future, as the University grows in the number both of professors and students, snch an addition will be absolutely necessary. J udgm~ by the cost of the west wing, it will cost to build and equip the east wrng $75,000. It seems to be agreed on all hands that no money can be appropriated from the general revenue "for the establishment and erection of buildings of the University of Texas." Such an appropriation is forbidden by a constitutional provision, and unless funds can be secured from some other source than the general revenue the University under the present Constitution will have to wait indefinitely both for a laboratory and for the completion of its main building. Fortunately, however, just at this time there is, as is well known, something like $150,000 in the State Treasury, balance on an indemnity fund account with the general government. The Twenty-second Legislature will have the disposal of this balance, and it is respectfully suggested that in no way can it be disposed of to better advantage than in using $130,000 of it for the erection of a laboratory and the completion and heating of the University building. lt may be objected that there are other State institutions than the University, and that to give this instituticn $130,000 out of $150,000 would be giving it more than its share. The Regents beg leave to say that no other institution lies under the prohibition of the Constitution in regard to the erec­tion of buildings as the University does. Other institutions may be assisted from the general revenue in erecting buildings at the discretion of the Legis· lature. The University could obtain such assistance for this purpose only by a loan of the State credit. If it is not helped from some such fund as will be at the disposal of the next Legislature it will have to wait until the Constitu· tion is so changed as to put it on the same footing as its sister institutions. But it may be fifty years before the State has a similar fund to dispose of, and the Constitution may in this respect be never changed. The Regents ther~­fore earnestly request that their application be granted now when the Um­versity is m need, and the State is able, in accordance with the terms of the Constitution, to relieve this need. (4) The current expenses of the University with its present corps of teach­ers and its ordinary disbursements amount to within a few dollars to the present available income. The estimated income for the present year (1889-90) is, as stated above, $52, 765.59. The appropriations for the current year made by the Regents at their annual meeting in June, 1890, amount to $52,657. It is clear, therefore, that if the University is to expand within the next two years the Legislature must make an appropriation from the general revenue to enable it to do so. It may be well to say candidly that the prea· ent income is totally inadequate for the needs of a modern first class U niver­sity. This is evident from a mere comparison of the income of the University of Texas with the income of other universities that rank as first class. The income of the University of Virginia is in round numbers $90,000; of the University of California, $200,000; of the University of Michigan, $222,000. It is apparent at a glance that it is impossible to expect the University of Texas, with an estimated income of only $52, 765.59, to compete successfully with institutions that have three and four times this amount for annual ex­penses, besides magnificent plants consisting of buildings, laboratories, obser­vatories, museums, and libraries; all of which the University of Texas lacks. It would be unreasonable, perhaps, to expect to realize for this University just now an income that would equal even the smallest of the above, but it is. a reasonable expectation that if the State really desires a first class University she will aid it from time to time until by degrees its income will be equal to the greatest of the abovo. This aid is now requested, and the request is considered reasonable, because the University can get help from no other source than the State. In univer· sities where a tuition fee is charged, as is the case with the University of Vir­ginia, the institutions can expand in proportion to the attendance. But in the University of Texas the tuition is by law absolutely free, and consequently no matter how large the attendance may be the income is not increased. Again, in universities where the regents are allowed to control their lands, as is the case with the Universities of Michigan and California, the incomes of the institutions have been largely increased from this source. But the Uni­versity of Texas has again and again petitioned the Legislature to be allowed to control its own lands, and in each instance the petition has been denied. The ground upon which this denial has heen placed is that it is contrary to the settled policy of the State to allow large bodies of land to be controlled in such a way as would be likely to shut out the actual settler. Therefore the State has insisted upon keeping these lands, notwithstanding the Univer­sity has been crippled for the want of the income that might have been de­rived from them had they been managed and controlled by the Regents. This policy is now so established that it seems best at this time for the Re­gents to recognize it; but itis submittted that if the State gives free tuition and insists on holding the University lands, it is due the University to be reim· bursed, a.s it were, for th~ income it would otherwise receive from those two sources. This reimbursement can be made in two ways: In the first place the State oan hold and manage the lands for its own interest and "advance to the University permanent fund two millions or more in 4 or 5 per cent bonds, and refund the a.mount by the sale or by the lease of the lands as they might be in demand under its policy. This would enable the University to be carried on without a continual application to the Legislature to meet the annual ex. penses." Such is the suggestion of Ex-Gov. 0. M. Roberts, made in his ad· dress before the University, June 17, 1890. An extract from this address is given in Exhibit L. The entire address is referred to as a valuable statement of "the relation of public education to the government of the State of Texas." The Regents would respectfully suggest that in ease such a broad, statesman· like proposition as this is adopted, that the State's own valuation he put on the lands and that four millions instead of two be issued in bonds. The second way is by successive appropriations from the general reve If it is decided to adopt this plan for the prePent the Regents ask that an ap· propriation be made of $30,000 for the next two years for the main Univer­sity at Austin, to supplement the available fund in paying current expenses and in allowing certain necessary expansions and additions to be made to the University. On the same ground, and for other reasons set forth under the proper head, they ask for an appropriation of the amounts named in connec. tion with the Medical Department. In the Main University the expansions will consist principally in the erea· tion of new chairs, and in providing for much needed assistance in those already established. For instance, the University needs a professor of Bot any, of Biology, of Astronomy; and the chairs of Chemistry, of Greek, and of Latin need assistance. The addition most sorely needed at the present time is an increase in the Library. The facilities afforded now by the Library are pitiful in comparison with our needs and pretensions. It will take an ex­penditure of $5000 per year for two years to make our collection of books even respectable. After this an appropriation of $2000 per year will gradu­ally bring the Library, which is the source of intellectual life to all the Uni· versity, up to the grade required by a first class institution of learning. It is taken for granted that in asking for an appropriation to pay current ex­penses in both the Main University and in the Medical Department the Regents are not asking anything prohibited by the Constitution. It is believed that any ground for doubt on the right of the Legislature to make such an ap­propriation has been removed by the successive acts of the Legislature mak­ing this very appropriation. A notable instance of the Legislature's constru­ing the Constitution as allowing an appropriation for the maintenance of the University was in the case of the Twenty-first Legislature. This Legislature appropriated out of the general revenue $25 000 for the current expenses of the Main University at Austin and $25,000 for buying ground for the erec­tion of the Medical College at Galveston. If any doubt, however, remains that the Legislature is forbidden to make such an appropriation, attention is respectfully called to an "opinion" on the question given in the last report of the Regents and reprinted in this report, marked "Exhibit M." An extract from the address of Gen. S. B. Maxey delivered June 19, 1889, covering sub­stantially the same ground, is al8o herewith presented, marked "Exhibit N." In this connection the Regents beg leave to refer to the entire address of Gen. Maxey as being an able and exhaustive presentation of the claims of the Uni· varsity upon the people of the State of Texas. B. The MedU:al Department at Galveston can not be opened to students until some absolutely necessary equipments for the building lately erected are provided, and some provision made for the employment of a competent Fae· ulty. The equipments now needed consist of the introduction mto the build· ing of some system for lighting, heating, furnishing water and sewer facili· ties; the subdivision and furnishing of the lecture rooms; the purchasing of an anatomical, physiological, and chemical apparatus; and such a reconstruc· tion of the floors and skylights a.s will place the building when completed on a plane with the medical colleges of Philadelphia and New Y o;rk. In addi· tion such an amount is needed as will enable the Regents to pay insurance and water and gas rates. It is estimated that for all this the sum of $34,000 will be required. For particulars and details attention is respectfully called to statement of N. J. Clayton, architect, marked "Exhibit O." At present there is no provision for the employment of a Medical Faculty. It is taken for granted that such men must be employed as will lift the school at once into th" first rank, and thus enable it to compete successfully with the celebrated medical schools of the North and East. In this way, and in this way only, can it expect to command the patronage of the two hundred medi· cal students that annually leave the State for their professional education. At the lowest estimate it will be requisite to employ seven professors, represent. ing the seven distinctive branches of medicine. That the Regents may be able to employ eminent and experienced men for these chairs it stands to reason that they must offer such salaries as will attract and keep them. Itis estimated that the lowest salaries the University can afford to offer will amount, with wages paid employes, in the aggregate to $33,000. An appropriation of double this amount ($66,000) is therefore requested to pay the salary ac. count of the medical school for two years. In conclusion, the Regents beg leave to state to your Excellency that in this Report they have felt it their duty to show candidly and plainly the needs of the various branches, departments, and schools of the Univarsity. If it is the intention to make the institution one of the first class, one worthy of Texas, one commensurate with the expectations of the fathers of the State, it can not be repeated too often that it must be generously supported. Any halfway support, any starving process, will so stunt its infancy that it will never attain the efficiency and strength of a vigorous manhood. It is believed that the present landed endowment of the University will, when made pro· ductive, go a long way toward making it independent of any aid from the general revenue. But until this landed endowment becomes wholly produc­tive the State must support its University, or must expect to see it outstripped by its young and vigorous rivals in neighboring States.

Wooten, Principe.I Boa.rd of Regents: The magnificent gift of Mr. G. W. Brackenridge, "Brackenridge Hall," to the Texas State University, after many delays, was at last opened on the second day of December, I 890, and even then in an unfinished condition. There were many embarrassing features in opening so late in the session, when the students were located at homes for the term, and the Hall being an untried experiment, entirely new in many of its methods, it did not offer the inducements of a well tested success. Many ef the students from other colleges and universities brought an unfavorable report of dining halls or dormatories as conducted at other places; and last, but most important of all, the opening found us at a period when provisions of all kinds are from ten to forty per cent higher than at any time in the past ten years. '.!.'he instructions of the Executive Committee, composed of Dr. T. D. Wooten, Dr. Leslie Waggener, and Proctor J. B. Clark, who have entire charge of the Hall, to the steward were that everything purchased for the restaurant must be of the very best quality, and then cooked and served in the best manner; that the rooms be properly cleaned and beds neatly made up-in fact. the service to be equal to that of first-class hotel. These instructions have been carefully carried out, with the satisfactory result of filling eighteen of the twenty-four rooms hy this, the 16th of December (fifteen days from opening), on which day l 06 meals were served to patrons of the restaurant. '.!.'he meals are served from bill of fare to order, the following being the meals on the 14th inst., and are about an average of the daily service: BREAKFAST, 8 TO 9 A. M. Cls.

It is earnestly hoped that this tax can soon be reduced or abolished. 'fhe dormitories are distinct from the restaurant and are heated by the Bol­ton hot water system, which warms the rooms at a high or low temperature as desired. The heater is in the kitchen and is easily managed by the cooks. A.t present the rooms are lighted by lamps, but it is soon expected that either gas or electricity will be introduced, as the building is both piped and wired. Each floor has a bath room, with bath tub supplied with hot and cold water, wash stand, and water closet. Each room has a large bay window from whi(!h the lovely hills and prairies of this very picturesque section are seen to excel­lent ad vantage. There is a large closet with shelves and clothes hooks in each room. The furniture, which is of oak, consists of two three-quarter size beds with mattresses, a. dresser with large beveled mirror, a solid round table, and two library chairs. Each windbw has inside blinds and every room a radia­tor. The rent of each of these rooms to two persons is $6 per month. There are no rules of restraint, other than each occupant shall behave ae a gentleman, otherwise he shall give place to one who will. I can honestly say as a Northern man, I have never before met so honorable and noble a body of young gentleman as those now under my charge at the Brackenridge Hall. Mr. Brackenridge furnished the dining room at his own expense with pure linen table cloths and napkins, Rogers knives, forks, and spoons, fine vitrified china and best glassware, tables to seat two and four persons, and Queen Anne chairs. 'l'he kitchen bas a large cast steel range and Charter Oak stove, with all the appurtenances of a first-class hotel. These, also, are the gift of Mr. G. W . Brackenridge. 'l'he Hali is so far a perfect success, and I believe that ere another year shall roll round the need of another similar building of larger proportions will be apparent. A neat cottage is built near the Hall on the north for Steward's office and store room. Yours, respectfully, H. B. BECK, Steward of Brackenridge Hall. EXHIBIT J. DATA PERTAINING TO SEALY HOSPITAL.

The rooms on first floor, at present occupied by the College, would afford additional space say for forty beds. this being a low estimate. A most notable feature in connection with the hospital at this time is the Ladies' Training School for Nurses. They have supreme control (in harmony with our rules and regulations) of the nursing of all white patients, both ward and private, and are discharging such duty most efficiently and satisfactorily to the management. For their especial benefit a course of lectures has already been inaugurated, and will consist of such topics in medicine as a.re necessary for a trained nurse's education. This auxiliary a.lone is capable in the near future of giving the institution prestige. Following are some of the diseases and surgical injuries treated in the Hos­pital since its organization: Mala.rial fever (intermittent, remittent, and per· nicious), catarrhal fevers, typhoid fever, gastro-enteritis, dysentery, cirrhosis of liver, Bright's disease (a.cute and chronic), rheumatism, cardiac diseases, pneumonia., pleurisy, empyema. phthisis pulmona.lis, diphtheria, tetanus, syph· ilis, gonorrhraa., cystitis, pelvic cellulitis, fractures (simple, compound, and comminuted), amputations (toes, foot, leg, thigh), resections, laparotomy for occlusion of bowels, perforating gunshot wound of abdomen and other trau­ma.tic leoions of intestines. EXHIBIT K. CHEMICAL LABORATORY. In the year 1884 the quarters of the School of Chemistry consisted of only two rooms situated on the first floor and on the north side of the University building. There was practically no provision ma.de for experimental work by the students either in the way of apparatus, furniture, or suitable laboratories. As it was impossible to teach the science of chemistry under such conditions, the Boa.rd of Regents allowed the school to occupy the whole of the basement, and in order to furnish the department better facilities $5700 were appropri· a.ted to fitting up the laboratory with the necessary desks and furniture, and also to the purchase of additional supplies and apparatus. Of this sum there was expended in round numbers $3300 for apparatus and chemicals, $1050 for carpentering, $950 for plumbing, cement work, etc., $400 for freight on apparatus and incidental expenses. The oa.sement was given to the School of Chemistry because there was no other available room in the building. It was thought that the arrangement would be only a temporaTy one and that the demands made on the department would not be too great before other quarters could be provided. From the very beginning it was perceived that many serious objections ex· isted, but it has been only in the last two or three years that the present ar· ra.ngement has become almost unendurable. The laboratory was originally fitted up for thirty-six students. As long as this number only was occupying the laboratory the objectionable features were not so apparent, but when the number of students was increased to eighty or ninety, and when they were crowded into a space that was none too large for the original thirty-six, then the evil became a serious question. The basement is always damp. This dampness is extremely injurious to all apparatus ma.de of metal The bearings and other parts of the fine balances a.re corroded, and consequently their delicacy and efficiency are impaired. Metallic parts of apparatus of every kind that is kept in the store room is rusted and sometimes rendered unfit for use. As 11on instance of the effect of the damp it might be mentioned that at the end of the scholastic year in June all steel or iron goods, such as tongs, ham­mers, anvils, forceps, and the like, are sandpapered and polished before being put on the shelves of the store room. At the end of the summer, on the open­ing of the University, these same goods are found covered with rust and are unfit for use before a second cleaning. This takes place during the dry months of summer. 'l'he dampness of the laboratory not only affects the ap­paratus, but it also acts injuriously on the health of those working in it. Speaking of my own experience, I can say that several times a year I am at­tacked by chills and fever induced, I believe, by taking cold in the chill, damp rooms and halls. Since the building of the north wing of the University the dampness and darkness have been increased quite perceptibly. The laboratories a.re situated on the north side of the basement and are insufficiently lighted. Into the largest one the sunlight never penetrates. The dampness of the basement is bad enough; but, besides this, there is a still more serious matter, one more injurious to the apparatus and to the health of the students-this is the bad ventilation. From the very nature of the work carried on in the laboratory it is gener­ ally necessary for the windows to be closed in order to prevent the " blow ing" of the gaslights. It is therefore necessary that the ventilation of labora· toriee should be effeoted by means of suitable drafts and flues. By some strange method of constructing the buildmg no available flues are in the basement. There are three rooms set a.part for laboratories. In one of these rooms where seventeen desks are occupied by students there is absolutely no flue except the one for the stove pipe. In the second the flue used for ventilation is connected with stoves in the upper stories; it is there­ fore filled with soot which periodically blows down and covers everything under the hood and frequently ruins analyses carried on there. In the third laboratory, in which a.re twenty -two desks for students, there are two flues. These flues connect directly with two flues in the library. Formerly all fumes and gases generated in this laboratory found an easy exit into the library; but the Librarian stopped up the holes in that room, and since that time all vapors are held in the laboratory until by slow diffusion they can find their way into the outside atmosphere, or can be neutralized by apparatus or in­ haled by students. The injury to the building, to the apparatus, and to the health of students by this bad ventilation can not be overestimated. Apparatus not only in the basement but all over the building is injured by the fumes from the labora­tory. The books in the library can be destroyed. Even the calsomining on the walls has been affected. Most serious, however, is the action of these fumes, etc., on the bes.1th of those working in the laboratory. Not a few instances have occurred where the health of students bas been affected by breathing the atmosphere of the b&l!eruent. It is no exaggeration to say that I feel relieved at the end of ea.ch session that nothing very serious has occurred, and that I begin ea.ch year's work with a feeling of anxiety. The vitiated atmosphere is the remark of almost every visitor to the chemical department. As the number of students has increased so has increased this evil of impure air. It has been a question during the past two years whether it would not be the wisest plan to stop laboratory work altogether until a suitable building could be provided. As such work, however, is absolutely essential to any acquisition of a knowledge of chemistry, the laboratories have been kept open. A chemical laboratory should always be a. separate buiiding. This is recog· nized everywhere. With the exception of Southern colleges and universities all institutions of like character have provided such buildings. If there were no other reasons, the danger from fire should be sufficient cause. Necessarily most chemical operations a.re carried on at elevated temperatures, and gas, lamps, and furnace fires a.re constantly in use. In ordinarily constructed buildings such fires are a constant menace to them. In the crowded cor.dition we now are in the best interests of the University and of its students are not preserved. Even in the matter of paying for ap· paratus and chemicals a large loss under existing circumstances is unavoid· able. Each student should make a deposit and receive therefor a certain a.mount of apparatus. At the end of the year the student can return unbroken and uninjured apparatus and receive back a portion of bis deposit. When, however, several students occupy one desk, as is the case here, such an ar­rangement would be impracticable. A certain pro rata is charged to each student, and be is given what he requires As the student bas no feeling of possessing apparatus he becomes careless, breakage and waste necessarily fol· low. and the cost of maintaining the laboratory is correspondingly increased. With all these drawbacks, the work in chemistry has been at least credita­ble to the University. The good results accomplished have been largely du9 to the zeal and industry of the students. Although the C.epartment is only six years old, still many of the men who have pursued the course of study in lecture room and laboratory have already given promise of successful and useful careers. In the geological survey of the State all the chemical work has been done by men who have obtained their knowledge of chemistry a.t this University. At present J. H. Herndon and L. Magnenat are the chem­ists of the survey. R. B. Halley is professor of natural science at the Sam Houston Normal. A. J. James occupies the same position in the Dallas High School. Besides these, other old students who are prosecuting their profes· sional studies have distinguished themselves at various medical colleges. Among these may be mentioned S. M. Morris, W. R. Spalding, M. M. Smith, and P. H. Fitzhugh. The la.st named gentleman has been accorded honors never before given to an undergraduate of medicine in New York. There are students now at work in the laboratory from whom even greater things can be justly expected. From the work done in the laboratory much profit has undoubtedly accrued to the State a.t le.rge. As an instance, the development of the iron in Llano County is the direct result of the analysis and publication of the rich iron ores in that locality. Jt is earnestly requested that the existing evils may be remedied a.t a.s early a date as possible. The U nivel'Bity needs a separate building for a chemical laboratory, it needs more apparatus, and it needs more instructors. A laboratory can be erected for about $35,aoo to $40,000, fitted up with all necessary appliances and apparatus. Such a building can accommodate about 200 students and will be sufficient for a number of years. EDGAR EVERHART, Professor of Chemistry. EXHIBIT L EXTRACT FROM GOVERNOR ROBERTS' ADDRESS. In the Constitution of 1876 we find the following provisions: "The Legislature shall, as soon as practicable, establish, organize, and provide for the maintenance, support, and direc­tion of a university of the first class," etc. "In order to enable the Legislature to perform the duties set forth in the foregoing section, it is hereby declared, that all lands and other property heretofore set apart and appropriated for the establishment of the University ot Texas, together with all the proceeds of sales of the same heretofore made, or hereafter to be made, and all grants, donations, and appropriations that may hereafter be made by the State of Texas, or from any other source, shall constitute and become a permanent uuiver­eity fund. And the same as r0lllized and received into the Treasury of the State, together with such sum belonging to the fund as may now be in the treasury, shall be invested in bonds of the State of Texas, if the same can be obtained, if not, then in United States bonds, and the interest accruing thereon shall be subject to appropriation by the Legisla­ture to accomplish the purpose declared in the foregoing section." It is to be observed that there is no express provision requiring the Legislature to ap­propriate money collected as revenue to the available fund to be used annually, as it was provided for the support of the public free schools. From which, as well as from other considerations, it may be presumed that the University was intended to be supported mainly if not entirely from the accruing proceeds of its permanent fund. Upon that, there has been some difference of opinion. There is no question, however, that the Legislature may appropriate any amount of money or bonds to the permanent fund. The Legislature has heretofore both loaned and appropriated money from the revenue for the support of the University as it has been needed, and unless some important action is taken to increase largely its permanent fund, that course must be continued for the annual maintenance of the University. as now organized, for an indefinite time in the future. A very general view of the present situation will illustrate this. As shown in the Regents' Biennial Report of December, 1888 {which is probiibly not very different from the report that would be made now), the annual expenditure for the academic department was $44,525, and for the law professors in connection with that department, $7000, making a total of $51,525. To say nothing now of additional professorships needed, it is estimated that it will take $~5,000 to erect the east wing of the main building at Austin. The agricultural and mechanical de­partment will require an occasional appropriation for its enlargement, as it has received heretofore. The medical department, it is estimated, will require an additional amount of $75,000 for buildbg and outfit, and after it is put in operation it will require annually $25,000 for running expenses to maintain it. It was evidently contemplated that at some time it would be deemed practicable to establish a branch for the instruction of the colored youths, which would have to be done out of the available fund of the University entirely, as required by the Constitution. Leaving out of view for the present the fund devoted to the agricultural and mechanical branch, and the money paid by the students of the academic and law departments of the main University, the annual income from bonds, land notes, and leases was reported to be only $41,589.39, which is not enough to maintain the academic department of the University alone, as now organized. This shows that we have arrived at a crisis, presenting practically three alternatives, which are, first, to go on asking favors from the Legislature from year to year to maintain a precarious existence; second. to unload, by suspending for the present every department, except the academic department of the main University and the agricultural and mechanical branch, and by reducing their expen­diture to the regular income, and await the accumulation of sufficient funds to establish the other necessary departments; third, to devise the means of increasing the permanent fund sufficiently to place all of the departments in good working order upon the annual income. Thll last alternative is that which the best interests of the country demand. But the question is, how shall that be accomplished? The land belonging to the fund is the source from which an increase of it must be realized. It is believed that it is better to depend upon the liberality and justice of the Legislature in regard to the lands still owned, than to claim as debts due the fund the amount of property heretofore appropriated to it that has been diverted from it to other putposes. The remaining unsold portion of the original fifty leagues of land are situated in counties that are settled up, and can be readily utilized by lease or by sale. Of the 2,000,000 acres, up to this date 7360 acres have been sold, 141,557 acres have b€en leased, leaving undis­posed of 1,858,083 acres of land. They have been classified as dry grazing lands, and val­ued at $2 per acre. If these lands could be sold at an average of even one dollar per acre, or leased at three cents per acre, it would increase the available fund to be annually expended to $100,000 or more, which would place the University upon a more solid foundation for its future prosperity. The Commissioner of the General Li.nd Office reports, 88 a reason for their not having been disposed of or leased, that they "are devoid of permanent water, and too distant from water to be utilized," and that "they are also for the most part remote from population and unoccupied." He might well have added that they are devoid of water and unoccupied, because they are located in a dry country that has been a dry country ever since the Spaniards first traversed it, two hundred years ago or more, and will continue to be a dry country until the water is brought to the surface by digging or boring wells. Irrigation at best only makes gardens. and patches, and small fields, and not great farms, such as are produced by abundant rainfall; and therefore it must be utilized mainly as a stock country. If a disinteresed, practical stockman was consulted as to the means of utilizing those lands, he would say that there must be sufficient quantity of land leased for such a length of time, at such a rate, or sold on such terms as would justify the employment of enough capital to fence it, get water, and make other improvements necessary for a permanent stock ranch. If those lands are to be used singly for the benefit of the University, to whose fund they belong, it must be done in that way. There is an impression abroad that the rain belt is moving westward, and that after a while crops can be raised there 88 they can be in the settled portions of Texas. Presuma­bly on that theory the policy has been adopted, apparently, of reserving those lands for farmers with small, very small stocks. The limit fixed for the disposition of those lands by sale to permanent settlers on the lands only, four sections, and by lease to one person for six and for ten years. (Act of April, 1889.) This policy of holding up the lands is doubt­less prompted by the idea that they will be more profitable to the University in the future. Still they are used to have the lands settled, which is postponing perhaps indefinitely any considerable interest in them to the University, for which they were set apart. There is a clause in the Constitution (art. 8, sec. 7) providing that "the Legislature shall not have the power to borrow or in any manner to divert from its purposes any special fund that may or ought to come in the treasury." This provision, whether applicable directly or not, would indicate the principle as a rule that these lands should be disposed of in a way that would best promote the interest of the University, irrespective of any other use that they might he made to subserve. If, however, the Legislature should prefer to hold the lands up to get farm settlers on them, it would be equitable to advance to the University permanent fund two millions or more in 4 or 5 per cent bonds, and refund the amount by the sale or the lease of the lands, as they might be in demand under its policy. That would enable the University to be carried on without a continual application to the Legislature to meet the annual expenditures. Whatever course may be ,pursued, it is to be hoped that it will give a surety for the permanent maintenance of the institution in all of its branches and departments. EXHIBIT M. AN OPINION ON THE OONSTITUTIONALITY OF AN APPROPRIATION FROM THE GENERAL REVENUE FOR THE HAINTENANOE OF THE UNIVERSITY. Section 10 of article VII of the present Constitution directs as follows: "The Legislature shall. as soon as practicable, establish, organize, and provide for the maintenance, support, and direction of a University of the first class, to be located," etc. Section 11. "In order to enable the Legislature to perform the duties set forth in the fore­going section, it is hereby declared that all lands and other property heretofore set apart and appropriated for the establishment and maintenance of 'The University of Texas,' together with all the proceeds of sales of the same heretofore made or hereafter se> to be made, and all grants, donations, and appropriations that may hereafter be made by the State of Texas, or from any other source, shall constitute and become a permanent UniverRity fund." "And the same as realized and received into the treasury of the State, 'together with such sums belong­ing ro the fund as may now be in the treasury,' shall be invested in bonds of the State of Texas, if the same can be obtained; if not, thea in United States bonds; and the interest accruing thereon shall be subject to appropriation by the Legislature, to accomplish the purposes de­clared in the foregoing section," etc. Taking this lest section to itself, and giving to the words "all grants, donations, and ap­propriations" their most comprehensive meaninp:, it precludes the Legislature from making any direct addition to the available fund of the University; for it devotes all future grants, etc., to the permanent fund, and, after prescribing-the mode of investment, subjects only the accruing interest to legislative appropriation. The language is, "the same as realized and received into the treasury;" that is, the same grants, donations, and appropriations, just de­·ciared to constitute a permanent fund, are to be realized, converted into money, and invested as directed. It is not some of these grants, etc., but, if we take the literal meaning of the words, it is the same; that is, all of them. If this be the correct construction, section 11 forbids any friend of the University from donating money or property to be used in the erection of any buildings for the University, or in the purchase of instruments or books. If some one should donate to the University lands, buildings, &Dd instruments for an astronomical observatory, this clause, thus literally con­strued, would require that all be sold, converted into money, and invested in bonds. Should eome citizen fh up, on premises owned by him contiguous to the University, a gymnasium, and convey it to the use of the University, it would ha've to be sold and follow the same course. Even donations of books, such as have already been made l!ond are now in the library, are also forbidden. They must be sold, the proceeds invested, and the interest may then be appro­priated to buying back some o! the books. Such absurd results naturally lead us to look more closely, and see if some other reasonable construction may not be adopted. (See Potter's Dwarrill, p. 655.) Especially should we seek light from other clauses of the Constitution bearing on the same subject. Section 48, article III, in enumerating the purposes for which the Legislature may levy taxes and impose burdens on the people, specifies: "The support of public schools, in which shall be included colleges and universities established by the State, and the maintenance.and support of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of 'l"exas." To support the public schools and the University is to furnish the means for carrying them on. Taken literall;y, giving to the words "to support" their full, literal meaning, this section is express authonty for mak­ing direct appropriations out of the general.revenue for carrying on the University, i. e., for meeting its current expenses. It is not important to consider whether, under some other clause of the Constitution, the Legislature might not have had this power, even if section 48 had been omitted. The clause is not in any way restrictive o! the power of the Legif!lature, nor is it meaningless or without a purpose. That purpose is, to make it plain, to declare positively that public schools, col­leges, and universities established by the State, including the Agricultural and Mechanical Oollege, might be supported-furnished with the means to be kept in operation-by taxation. This primary meaning of the word "support" is further enforced by looking at the other specifi'C!ltions of the purposes included in the economical administration of the government. (Article III, section 48.) With scarce an exception, they refer to annually recurring expenses. Taken literally we find that thi~ clause of section 48, article III, and section 11, article VII, are in conflict. Here, then, we have a second and very strong reason for re-examining the latter section, to see if this apparent conflict may not be reconciled. If a reasonable construction can be found giving effect to these apparently conflicting clauses, it must, in the ab.sence of some preferable mode of reconciling them, be adopted. We claim that the grants, donations, and appropriations intended wE'lre of a like character with those "lands and other property " then already "set apart and appropriat.ed for the es­tablishment and maintenance of the University of '£exas ;" that is, those designed to add to its permanent endowment, or more particul11rly to add to its interest bearing fund. Let us look a little more closely at the meaning ol the words "grants, donations, and ap­propriations." Each of these words is comprehensive enough to include either land, per· sonal property, or money, but it is not correct to suppose that the word appropriation by it­self indicates a moneyed gift or grant any more definitely than does the word donation. In this very section 11, "land or other property " is twice spoken of as "set apart and appro­priated." It is also once used when the context shows that it meant money. Whether it means land, property, or money is to be gathered from the connection in which it is used. What is there to show that it means money set apart by the Legislature to pay the annually recurring expenses of the University, in the clause under consideration? To.treat it as re­ferring to money given in a general appropriation act for the annual support of the Univer­sity, is to suppose that the Convention, intending to prohibit such appropriations, instead of doing so directly, attempted to accomplish their purpose in a most indirect and awkward way. The Oonstitution is made to Ray, All appropriations of money, including those designed by the Legislature to be consumed for current expenses, shall not be so used, but shall be cap­italized and invested. How easy to have said, as was said of the "establishment and erec­tion of the buildings of the University," that to meet the current expenses of the University, Reg.15. "no t.ax shall be levied and no money appropriated out of the general revenue." How awk­ward to say that an appropriation intended for expenditure shall not be expended, but shall be invested. Looking, then, at the language of section 11, t.aken by itself, I deny that there is anything justifying the conclusion that the word appropriations was used to mean appro­priations of money to be expended in defraying running expenses. Looking at section 9, of this same article, we find it reads: "All lands heretofore granted for the benefit of the Lunatic, Blind, Deaf and Dumb, and Orphan Asylums, together with such dnnations as may have been, or may hereafter be made to either of them, respectively, as indicated in the several grants, are hereby set apart to provide a permanent fund for the sup­port, maintenance, and improvement of said asylums. And the Legislature may provide for the sale of the lands and investment of the proceeds in the manner as provided for the sale and investment of school lands in seetion 4 of this article." The section is very concise; but it, if taken literally, giving to "donations" its full literal meaning, prohibits the Legislature from giving any money to the asylums to be used in meeting expenses. Every addition made by the Legislature to either fund of the asylums, the permanent fund, or the fund to meet expenses, is a donation. Donations which may hereafter be made, says the Constitu­tion, shall be "set apart to provide a permanent fund for the support, maintenance, and im­provement of said asylums." The Legislature, correctly holding that the Constitution meant donations, like the grants of lands y"ust named, intended for endowment, regularly donate or appropriate money to keep these institutions running. The asylums had been carried on for years by donations or appropriations out of the gen­eral revenue, and, although the language of the Constitution, taken literally, would put an end to this practice, it is plain that the object of the section was not to do this, but simply to protect from expenditure the endowments of the asylums, including future as well as past donations and grants intended as endowments. Such, also, we claim. to be the evident ob­ject of section 11, in regard to the University. Looking at article VII, as a whole, we find that it refers to the public schools, the asylums, and the University, each of which had already been endowed by the St.ate. The permanence and security of these endowments seem to have been one of the primary aims of the article. The "funds, lands, and other property," before set apart for public schools, the "alternate sections of land reserved by the State out of grants heretofore made, or that may hereafter be made, to railroads or other corporations," together with the proceeds of the sale of the same, are made a "perpetual school fund," to be invested in the way prescribed in the Constitution, the interest only to be "applied annually to the support of the public free schools." (Article VII, sections 2, 4, and 5.j So, as we have seen, the endowments of the asylums, as then existing, or as increased by further donations, was made a "permanent fund,'' to be invested in like manner. And so, in sec­tion 11, with the same leading object in view, the Constitution declares that "all lands and other property heretofore set apart and appropriated" for the University, and "all grants, donations and appropriations that may hereafter be made by the State of Texas, or from any other source, shall constitute and become a permanent University fund." This permanent fund, including p,roceeds of land sales and all sums then in the Treasury, is to be also in· vested as directed for public schools, the i!1terest to be subject to appropriation. Bearing in mind that the protection of the endowment was a primary object in framing section 11, it follows naturally that this protection would be extended to all future additions to that en­dowment by grants, donations, and appropriations from the State or from any other source. With this key to their meaning, is it not reasonably clear that in this section, as in section 9, the words used were not intended to be taken in their full literal signification? The ob­ject being to protect the permanent fund, that protection is extended to all donations or ac­cession!!' to that fund from any source. Surely the object could not have been to discourage gifts to the University by unreasonable restrictions. Yet if the clause imposes a restriction on the Legislature the conclusion is inevitable that it imposes the same restrictions on indi­viduals desiring to make donations or bequests for the benefit of the University. It has already been shown that if the object of the clause was to prohibit appropriations to be ex­pended the method of doing so was so indirect and awkward as of itself to make the mean­ing obscure and doubtful. And in this connection it is quite significant to note that in section 14 of this article, when the object was to limit the legislative power to make appro­priations for the University ont of money raised by t.axation, the prohibition is direct and positive: "No tax shall be levied and no money appropriated out of the general revenue for the es.tablishment and erection of the buildings of the University of Texas." Here is no ambiguity. Right here, when the Constitution is specifying the purposes connected with the University for which the people shall not be taxed, we would naturally expect to find it specified that appropriations should not be made out of the general revenue to meet the cur­rent expenses of the University if, indeed, such a restriction were intended. Here is a clause the direct object of which is to limit the purposes-the University purposes-for which the people may be taxed. The inference is strong that for all other University purposes than those here expressed the power of the Legislature to make appropriations out of the general revenue is intended to be left; untouched. Extravagant expenditure in the erection of expensive buildings for colleges had been common-so common that it was desired to pro­tect the people from suffering from such extravagance in the case of the University. It by no means follows that there was any design or even disposition to curtail further the power ezpresslly granted to levy taxes to "support" the University. Strong confirmation of these views of section 11 is to be found by tracing this section back to its origin. On page 134 of the proceedings of the Constitutional Convention is found the following: "By Ml'. Davis, of Brazos, the following resolution: "Resolved, That section -, article -, of the Constitution, shall read as follows: "The Legislature shall, as soon as practicable, provide for the establishment of a State University, for the promotion of literature and the arts and sciences, including an agricur­tural and mechanical department; and the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas, 1111tablished by an act of the Legislature, approved April n, 1871, located in the county of Brazos, shall be and is hereby constituted a branch of the State University, for instruction in agriculture, the mechanic arts, and the natural sciences connected therewith. "The University lands and the proceeds thereof, and all money belonging to the University fund, and all grants, donations, and appropriations heretofore made under former laws of this State for tile maintenance and support of a State University, and all other lands and appro­priations that may hereafter be granted by the State, shall be and remain a permanent fund for the use of the State University. The interest arising from the same shall be annually appropriated for the support and benefit of said University. "And it shall be the duty of the Legislature to take measures for the protection, improve­ment, or other disposition of said lands, and, as soon as may be done, to provide effectual mean11 for the permanent security and investment of the funds of said State University. "Referred to Committee on Education." _It is apparent that the "grants, dona.tions, and appropriations heretofore made," before the establishment of the University, had been designed for its endowment, and that the "lands and appropriations that may hereafter be granted by the Smte" were of a like nature. Mr. Davis, of Brazos, was undoubtedly aiming to secure the Agricultural and Mechanical College an interest in the endowment of the University, also to protect that endowment and make it productive. There is nothing to indicate a design to curtail the power of the Legislature in making appropriations out of the general revenue for the University. Further illustrations showing that such expressions as "all funds, lands, and other prop­erty * * * that may hereafter be set apart and appropriated" were used, when the context plainly negatives any intention to include annual appropriations for current expenses, may be found on pages 243 and 131 of the proceedings of the Convention. In addition to all this, it may well be claimed that in making appropriations out of general revenue for the current expenses of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, the Legislature have given their construction to the Constitution, and that it is entitled to respect. The Constitution makes the Agricultural and Mechical College a branch ol the University. BeiI\g a branch-an integral part of the University-how can the Legislature appropriate revenpe to meet its current expenses if they are forbidden to do this for the University? Can any authority be found in the Constitution for doing this for the Agricultural and Mechanical College and not for the University? We do not undertake to say positively that there can not, but what we do assert is that the burden of showing it devolves on those who claim that it exists. Prima focie, we have a legislative interpretation of the Constitution in favor of the right to appropriate in like manner for the main University. In fact, is not an appro­priation for the current expenl!es of the Agricultural and Mechanical College indirectly an appropriation to the main University by relieving it in so far from the burden of defraying the expenses of the Agricultural and Mechanical College out of its income? It is claimed that enough has been said to justify the construction of section 11 which we have suggested-even if the facts were that we were simply seeking the meaning of that sec­tion standing alone, with no outside reason or occasion pressing for or against any particu­lar construction. If taken b:f itself, its most probable, most reasonable meaning, may be briefly summed up thus: "To secure a permanent, productive fund, designed to enable the Legislature to establish the State University, it is declared that its endowment as it now ex­ists, including land and other property heretofore granted by the State, and all money aris­ing therefrom now in the Treasury, and also its endowment as it may be added to by the State, or from any other source, shall be a permanent University fund, invested only in bonds of the State or of the United States, the interest on which shall alone be expended under the direction of the Legislature for the benefitilf the University." But it must be remembered that we are compelled to reconcile this section of the Constitu­tion with section 40, article III. Taken literally the two sections are in conflict. The one plainly and incontrovertibly declares the power of the Legislature to appropriate money out of the general revenue to support the University. Unless the power is restricted by section 11, it clearly authorizes the annual expenses of the University to be provided for out of the general revenue. To say the least of it, it is far from certain that section l l was designed to impose any such restrictions. It admits of a reasonable construction, which harmonizes the two sections. That construction requires no departure from the natural or primary mP,aning of the lan­guage. The words are merely, from the context, interpreted as covering less ground than they sometimes do. In this way the two sections become harmonious. They must be har­monized. Ifthis is not the way to make them harmonious, then we must do it by giving to the words "to support," in section 48, article ILI, a limited meaning. We must conclude that the Constitution, while requiring the University to be supported by taxation-declaring that its support is one among the purposes for which taxes may be levied -most strangely departs from the usual method of pnoviding for government purposes, by requiring sufficient taxation to raise a fund the interest on which will support it. It is believed that no suffi­cient reason can be given in support of this mode of harmonizing the Constitution, and it is only deemed necessary to add that it leaves in force the absurd restrictions on gift;a to the University, alluded to in the outset. EXHIBIT N. EXTRACTS FROM GENERAL MAXEY1S ADDRESS, JUNE 19, 1889. Constitution of 187 5. The Constitution of 1875 is clear and explicit as to the power and duty of the Legislature in respect to the University. The Legislature shall * * * "establish, organize, and pro· vide for the maintenance, support, and direction of a University of the first class * * * and styled 'The University of Texas,' for .the promotion of literature, and the arts and sci· ences, including an agricultural and mechanical department." The Legislature has already complied with its constitutional duty to the extent of "estab­lishing, organizing, and pr<>viding for the direction" of the University, but the duty of pro­viding for "the maintenance and support" has only been partially discharged. It will not do to say that the remnant of the fifty leagues given in 1839, and the $100,000 in 1858, re­duced by appropriations by the State to other objects, and the 1,000,000 acres of land given by the Constitution, made sufficient provision. The framers of the Constitution knew per­fectly well of these donations and of the diversion by the State of a portion of these grants to other objects. They knew perfectly well that the munificent land grant, and the $100,000 in bonds granted by the act of 1858, supplemented by what the State had not disposed of­of the fifty leagues-would have amply endowed, supported, and maintained the University without taxation; but the Constitution took away the land grant ot 1858 from the Univer­sity, although not cine ever found fault with that donation, and then granted 1,000,000 acres, which, in view of the relative value of the land, was but a small return. Still the Consti­tution by no expression limits the Legislature in providing for the support and maintenance of a University of the first class, save the general limit applicable to all objects of appropri­ation, and the restriction against appropriations to buildings, but does in express terms grant it the power to levy a tax for the support and maintenance of the University, as well as to make appropriations to that end out of the general revenue. The power therefore, is ample; the necessity to support and maintain a University of the first class exists; and hence the power being ample and the necessity existing, the duty is imperative. It is true that the Legislature, by the act of April 10, 1883, made an additional grant of 1,000,000 acres of land to the University, but it is manifest that however valuable and yielding these grants may become, they do not now yield a sufficiency for necessary buildings, and for the support and maintenance of the University upon the broad scale contemplated by the Constiiution, and what they lack should be supplied by necessary appropriations, and the Legislature will not do its imperative constitutional duty until it malrns such provision. The Legislature passed an act approved November 30, 1881, '·to establish the University of Texas." Manifestly, therofore, 1t believed the time had come to do so. The Constitution declares that the Legis­lature should establish and organize the University "as soon as practicable." Having doµe so, it is too plain for argument that the other duties to provide for the support and mainte­nance of the University, and such an one as the Constitution specifically names-that is to say "of the first class," imperatively follows. I believe that when the matter is under­stood the provision will be made. Section 1O of article 7 of the Constitution says the Legislature shall establish, organize, and provide for the sustenance, support, and direction of a University of the first class. It did not leave it to the Legislature to designate what was such an institution, but the fram­ers of the Constitution had before them such institutions as Harvard and Yale and the Uni­varsity of Virginia, and other first class institutions, so there could be no mistake about what they meant. That was the power conferred, and the Legislature was to execute that powe; in the terms directed. But it said that section 11 of the same article of the Consti­tution modifies and restricts that provision. Now, where there are two or more construc­tions which may be placed upon the Constitution, making it doubtful what was meant, and the Legislature has placed its construction upon the matter, so that an issue bas gone to the courts, they-have decided, without exception, that they will not interfere unless the con­struction placed by the law making power is manifestly against the Constitution, and such is the universal rule of the courts from the Supreme Court of the United States down, and such is the principle clearly enunciated by Cooley on Constttutional Construction. The Constitution, in section l l of the same article, sets out the various items which make up the general fund. The word appropriation occasions the difficulty by its use in one part of the Constitution in one sense and in another part in a different sense. As I construe section 11, article 7, it has reference to such appropriations, and to such only, as are designed by the Legislature to increase the permanent University fund, because it is associated in that section alone with other items of the permanent fund, whilst the use of the same word "appropriations" in the proviso to section 14, same article, has manifest reference to such appropriations as may be designed to aid in the payment of current ex­penses when the revenues derived from the permanent fund are not sufficient for that pur­pose, and this is made quite clear by the same proviso which prohibits the use of such ap­propriations for the erection of buildings; and this being the only exception to its use it can by a well known rule of construction be used for any other legitimate object of the University. A careful examination of sections 10 and 11 and proviso to section 14, article VII, and section 48, article III, will leave no doubt I think on this question. If it be, as some insist, that an appropriation can not be used for current expenses, but if made must go into the per­manent fund, you have this anomaly: You have the fruits and revenues of every other item in the permanent fund subject to any and every legitimate use of the University, but the in­terest on that particular item "approprilrtions " can not be used for building. Again, if ap­propriations can not be used for current expenses, then whatever money may be appropri­ated for common schools or University raised under article III, section 48, would have to go into the permanent funds of the schools and University respectively, and the interest only could be used for current expenses. Certainly this construction will be new to the people. Suppose the University needs $10,000 for its immediate use in its support and maintenance. You can not make the appropriation directly under the construction claimed by some of section 11, but you must appropriate say $200,000 and put that in the general fund, and if it yiolds five percent interest use the interest, which would be $10,000, but the $200,000 would still be in the permanent fund after the necessity for the $10,000 had ceased. But look at the fourteenth section. That provides for appropriations out of general reve· nue, but this shall not be used for building purposes, and there is no other limitation on its use; but there is no lawyer but knows th11t where an exception is made it includes every other legitimate purpose. So, if you can not use an appropriation out of tho general revenue for building purposes, you can use it under tho proviso to section 14 for any other legitimate purpose for the University. But the grand and governing object and mandate of tho Constitution is to establish and maintain ''a first class University," and all other provisions of the Constitution must be made to harmonize with that leading purpose. Go back to the forty-eighth section of the third article of the Constitution and you will find that your Legislature has the power to tax the people for schools, "including colleges and universities." Now, if that tax must go into the permanent fund for the University, the school tax must go into the permanent school fund. You can not help the common schools or the University by appropriations except from the interest, if this strange construction be correct. Where the Legislature has passed an act construing the Constitution, the act will be fol­ lowed by the courts. The Legislature did that in its appropriations for the Agricultural and Mechanical College, which is by the Constitution a branch of the Universil;y, and in giving $75,000 for the main University and $50,000 for its medical branch at Galveston. Three times now has the Legislature put the same construction upon the Constitution, allowing ap­ propriations for the University outside of the University fund. The Legislature has done this looking to its duty to establish a first class University, and recognizing the fact that such institutions have their law and medical departments. I have faith in the honesty and intelligence of the people. When they come to understand the matter, and the claims of the University expressed in every form-in the Declaration of Independence, in the Constitution of tho Republic, by the Third Congress of the Republic, by the Seventh Legislature of the State, and by the Constitution of 1875, ratified by the peo· pie by a great majority, and by the act establishing the University-there will be no hesita· tion in securing ample appropriations until the University becomes self-sustaining, as it soon will do after all necessary buildings, apparatus, library, etc., are provided and paid for. The 54 UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS. words "maintenance" and "support," as used in the Constitution, are weighty words, and the Legislature, by that instrument, is required to provide for both. The loan made by the Twentieth Legislature was of material benefit in enabling the Regents to use money for the erection of the main building, as well as the building for the medical branch when established, but the duty to support and maintain is not thereby discharged. I am aware of the proviso to section 13, article 7, of the Constitution, in respect to buildinp:s. That does not change the argument. Let the Legislature, in case of need, support and maintain the University, and the Regents, out of the current fund, can erect the buildings; and so manifestly thought the Legislature just adjourned, in its appropriations for the University proper and the medi­cal branch. EXHIBIT 0. GALVESTON, TEXAS, December 9, 1890. To the Honorable Board of Regents of the University of the State of Texas, at Austin, Texas, through Dr. T. C. Thompson, chairman of the Building Committee, college building for the Medical Branch, at Galveston, Texas : GENTLEMEN-I herewith respectfully submit my report upon my examina· tion into those special features of the leading medical schools, colleges, and hospitals of the Northern and Eastern States, in accordance with my instruc­tions and under the authority of your honorable board, namely, the general design, arrangement, and construct10n of the special development in the scientific departments and their subdivisions, the laboratory, dissecting room, with the attending offices, furnishings, and administrative requisites, which, together with the numerous details intimately connected therewith, were a work of time, labor, and expense which doubled the amount of your appro­priation for this purpose but for which I make no claim. The colleges and hospitals visited were as follows: In Baltimore, the medi­cal school of the Johns Hopkins University, and the renowned hospital of that name in that city. In Philadelphia, the medical school of the Univer­sity of Pennsylvania, the Jefferson Medical College, and the Hannemann Hospital and Medical College. In New York, the College of Physicians and Surgeons. In Boston, the hospital of the city of Boston, and the medical school of the Harvard College, and the Massachusetts General Hospital. As the result of my examination, the University of Pennsylvania has, in my opinion, the most extensive, complete, and comprehensive chemical labor­atories in arrangements, details, and scientific construction of the various institutions visited by me, excelling particularly in space, ventilation, light­ing, water supply, and the many minor details essential to such laboratories. The museum is also excellent in constructive arrangement, classification, and also in the extent of its acquisitions, though in this respect that of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York and of the Johns Hopkins Uni­versity of Baltimore possess similar merits. In the arrangement of its micro­scopic department, lighting, etc., it is equalled only by the new microscopic department of the medical school of the Harvard University now being com­pleted. Both are, however, essentially different in the means of lighting adopted and applied in the construction of these buildmgs. In the arrangement, ventilation, method of lighting, and in the many im­portant details essential to the scientific construction of a dissecting room, with its attendent offices and the various requirements of same in storage, refrigerating apparatus, elevators, electrical and other appliances, and the outgrowth of these necessities in. water-proof sanitary floors, wall surfaces, skylights, and especially designed and prepared plumbing fixtures, the Col­lege of Physicians and Surgeons undoubtedly stands unequaled. In its department of microscopic research, bacteriology, etc., in construct­ive arrangement the John Hopkins University is the peer of the University of Pennsylvania. In its photographic department alone is the evident supe­riority in construction of the Pennsylvania Medical School made known by its arrangement of dark rooms, etc. The general superiority in the constructive arrangements and appliances of one school over the other exists only in isolated details, the outgrowth of special reqUlrements, evidently developed by some scholarly specialist wholly devoted to the advancement of his profeSBion and enamored with its simplest and most laborious details in ventilation, lighting, sanitary appliances, hy­giene, gases, water supply, etc. As the result of a careful study and examination of the different buildings named in the most essential details, I would suggest that a skylight be in­troduced in the ceilings of each of the amphitheaters, the anatomical lecture room, and the amplutheater of physiology and materia medica, over the tables of the demonstrators of anatomy or chemistry. Also the introduction of the necessary closets for the chemical apparatus and chemicals, anatomical specimens as prepared by the prosectors for the lecturers, and the numerous instruments, appliances, etc., requisite. Also that provision be made for ad­ditional ventilating tubes, ducts, and apparatus for these rooms. Also for the introduction of waterpipes for two distinct services to supply the different kinds of water constituting our supply-rain water and that of artesian wells. Also for the introduction of a distinct electric and gas lighting service for these principal lecture rooms. I would advocate the use of steam heating for this building on account of its value in combination with its application to the operation of elevators, ventilating fans, and the :refrigerating apparatus necessary in this climate for the preservation of anatomical materials, and the operation of a dynamo for lighting and the electrical power requisite to-day for general use, and also in its application to experiment-al purposes and physical research. An ample supply of gas is requisite for the lighting of the entire building, and for heating in the department of physics and the physiological and chem­ical laboratories. Also a plentiful duplicate supply of water for the entire building, particularly the <.liBBecting room, is requisite. I have not seen a system of sanitary appliances in plumbing fixtures and arrangements superior from a hygienic point of view to that intended for this building; a slight modification only is necessary. But a system of sewerage must be provided for carrying off the excreta. to meet the peculiar require­ments of this locality, which, from my experience and examination of the facilities existing in the other places, is altogether unique, involving the use of a storage cesspool or vault, thoroughly ventilated by artificial means, with a water supply and a long line of sewerage pipe to lead to the channel across the fib.ts, to be controlled and emptied periodically at the outgomg of the tide. It will also be necessary to reconstruct the top of the floors in the dissecting rooms to meet the requirements of the concrete and asphalt floors, graded and sewered to suit the materials and construction of sa.me in their modification to this the beat system in use in the principal medical colleges in the North, which is absolutely necessary to prevent saturation by the large quantities of water used, which would destroy the ceilings below. To complete in a proper and fitting manner the interior of this building in accordance with the beat modern practice in construction as applied to medi­ ical schools and institutions of this kind in the Northern States, as developed by my studies and researches during my visit to the institutions I have named, will require an additional expenditure above the sum named by me in my report of June 6th last of $8500, or a total of $34,000. Very respectfully, yours, N. J. CLAYTON, Architect, of N. J . Clayton & Co.
