The college of agriculture at the State I* diversity 

 was destroyed by fire April 16. The flames con- 

 sumed much valuable apparatus records of many 

 yes**' investigations and manuscript and specimens 

 represent ing the life work of Prof. K. \V. Hilgard. 

 head of the department and founder of the experi- 

 ment-station system in the United States. Kir,. 



extinguishers were brought fr various parts of 



the university, but were of no avail, from the fact 

 that certain of the students a few days before, for 

 no further apparent reason than distinguishes many 

 of their pranks had emptied the contents ami ren- 

 : the safeguards useless. The agricultural 

 building is plentifully supplied with hose, but when 

 the necessity for use" arose it was found that none 

 of it would fit the mains The building was com- 

 pletely wrecked, and the loss, apart from valuable 

 manuscripts and records, i^ estimated at $25,000 to 

 $30.000. I'rof. Milgard's personal loss was great. 

 It included his herbarium, containing over 10,000 

 specimen* and manuscript* representing the work 

 of forty-five year*. The professor's geological data, 

 gathered in the Mississippi valley and arranged by 

 him for publication, the gn-at work of his life, was 

 ashes. A new building on the founda- 

 tions of the burned structure was at once planned 

 and wa exjerted to be in readiness soon after the 

 ' the fall term. 



State Institution*. The appropriations for 

 Mse were materially reduced in the legislative bill 

 as it finally became a law. The State Hoard of 

 Examiners pas*ed a resolution in May declaring 

 that "for ninth and fiftieth fiscal years 



the various Stale institutions comir part- 



ments. and offices must be supported by the appro- 

 priations made by the Ixgi|itture for that purpose. 

 as the State Board of Kxamincrs will not rat.t d.- 

 ficiencies in the appropriations made for their sup- 

 port or for any other purpose,"
