SiuamjJ Lands. 



Swamp lands were given to the college by the act of reorganization, 1861. 

 These lands are so nearly sold that they cannot be relied on for any income. 



College Receipts. 



Tuition is free ; board is at cost, and most of the other receipts from stu- 

 dents are expended in definite ways for their benefit. The farm receipts go 

 into the general College Fund and reduce the amount of appropriations asked 

 for. In the accounts of the College, and in the estimates all these items are 

 published ; but it is hardly worth while to set down receipts from students as 

 a source of regular income. 



Legislative Appropriations. 



The Legislature has been liberal in its appropriations to the Institution. 



The following table presents the receipts of the Institution from several 

 sources for the twenty-five years since the opening of the College to the pres- 

 ent time.
