In. brief. ivea by Dr. William I* sat, and other member* faculty are that educational institutions of other states offer higher salaries mnd thus lure away valuable members of the faculty and that the capacity of the present build' i and the number of orofeesors instructors are Jnsufflctent for largely increased enrollment. Title the legislature does not ordi*

but levies a tax and leaves it to the boards of trustee* of the institutions to dispose of the proceeds of the levy as they see fit, Indiana University invited the visiting committee to come and see and hear the needs of the institution.

Dr. Myers told of a condition la th* chemistry department to illustrate reasons for asking the legislature for larger financial support. II# said that Dr. Lyons, head of the department, make* the same lecture three times in one day to three classes because there in not seating capacity sufficient to have all the students in one ciOM. This was taken as cited a* an example of the need for more buildings and the heed for a larger staff

isso facts will b* shown

that these ihstitutions will dascend upon us and take away most of our best man unless w* can have substantial relief. There will be no escape from a marked and rapid deterioration in the level of our faculties. We shall not be able to bold the men we have, and w* shall not be able to secure equally good men in

outstanding fact Is that ■ mure space in which to

carry on recitations and laboratory work than we had ten years ago. We are, therefore, compelled to take care °5 ** enmprously larger number of students with the facilities which we \f d a,ro * W<l ar ® Ur b *hlnd In our building program. There Is scarcely any department which has enough space in which to do its work, and some of them are overcrowded to a point which makes it necessary to turn away students. *

Hew Power Plant Needed.

••OUT power plant la almost worn out and must be replaced. We have made a list of the most necessary buildings required at Bloomington and at IndtapapoUs. At Indianapolis we have the school of medicine and ' h * W- Hospital. The former require* very conslderabl* enlargement. The latter la not onehalf large enough to meet the demands made uj.on It by charity p*. Uent* from Other state benevolent institutions and other people, esneciallv in counties where there are no hosnttxls. They have constantly a waiting list of more than 100 charity patients, Vi* should have twice as much hospital space and adequate provision should be made for the maintenance of this vitally important

work.

-Ws wish to call attention to the fact that the Robert W. Long Ho pltal Is not, except incidentally an educational institution, but benevolent institution. When the gift of Dr. and Mrs. Long was received. the legislature by a unanimous standing vote pledged the state to ltd permanent maintenance. Part of Us maintenance is now provided for by a special statute appropriating money other than that which comes to u* through the mill tax. We believe that the faith of the state requires that adequate provisions be made for this work without arawinx upon Us* educational fund.- * T-Ceat Tax Desired. -What should be done, in your opinion f* asked Senator Duncan chairman of the legislative visiting committee.

The 7-eent levy wal adopted in 19IS and remained in force until the tax taw of m» became ef! fective. Dr. Bryan told the committee that the -three institutions had not yet come to an agreement as to whether to ask for a i-cent lew. and that a conference would be held this week to discuss the matter. ftaildiag Program.
