The University of Montana aims to fit Montana young people for life in Mon- 

 tana. The unrivaled fields for experimentation, examination and study at first hand 

 of the marvelous things that Montana has to offer make it an attractive place to 

 attend college. The University offers scholarships to all accredited high schools 

 in the state, to the graduate ranking highest in scholarship. To give an equal 

 opportunity to the people in all parts of the state the University equalizes geographical 

 differences by refunding railroad fare over the sum of five dollars, to all who attend 

 any of the four state institutions. 



Like the common schools, the institutions of higher learning are richly en- 

 dowed. On the admission of Montana into the Union much of the public domain in 

 the state was allotted to them the aggregate being now about 700 square miles. 

 The revenues from this endowment, while large, are constantly growing. In 

 addition, large appropriations are made by the legislature at each session for their 

 maintenance.
