On June 30, 1883, tht condition of tht University fund, arising from the sals of ths laud grout of seventy-two sections, by the act of Feb 14, 1859, admitting the State into the Union, appears from a statement furn ished me by tht ntatt Treasurer, on Jiity 15, to be as sollows: Money loaned on notes and mort gages ;..'.'. $64,808 38 Money on hand 0802 46 fill I V Hora.

Since my last report, Mr Henry Villard has given ths University $50,000 of ths first gener al mortgage bonds of ths Norths Pacifio railway company. These bonds bear interest at the rate ot tt per centum per annum, payable semi-annually. Ths transaction was completed at the annual meeting of ths Regent in June, when the deed of gift, executed by Villard with certain conditions, looking mainly to ths preservation of the fund, was formally accept ed by them. Ths principal of these conditions are, tliai if by any means ths fund is ever diminished; thetnsqthg Income therefrom shall be first devoted to making np the deficiency; that 'the fund shall be kept Invested in tbest or. the bonds of tbt United States or other safs security, sad that $400 of tbs income of tht fund shall be annually devoted to the porch of books tor ths college library heretofore founded by the donor. . Tht gift ot tbt bonds relates back to January . 1, 183, so that it car rise with it tht half year interest dus tberson juos'30, im W'hlla I no niii Irlsnd to Indnlis In any Dr- sonal adulation of tht glysr of this good gift It seems proper that on this octmIuu I should something more than chronicle tht mere fact that it hat boen made. i ' ', I And first, it is noteworthy as beimr ths only considerable contribution sver mailt in this Btats by private wealth to public uses. Nsj town or place in Oroaon nan vet linsjit isf a building, monument, arch, fountain, hospital school or church, ths gift of sny ons of Its dtl- aena .

Such sn act proceeding from such motives is benefit to ths country fur beyond the actio. I value of the dollars and cents iuvolved in it familiarizes men's minds with ths true use riches, and as an example worthy of amula. tioa is potential and far-reaching.

The University fund, if it was all kept at Interest at 8 per cent would yield $5,648 80, but that is not probable. Thort is probably $20,000 of ths land grant yet unsold, and as this is diposed of the fund will be increased ac cordingly. But it is not likely that from this source it will ever reach mort than $!)0.000, whirs It it evident that with good management at least $200,000 nihrht have been realised on the grant To this sum of $17,000 must bt added ths $2,500 appropriated by tht act of Out 18, 1878, for ths support of ths Uuiversity.

The, Presi- dsnt is convinced that the examination by the several County Courts of the applicants for free scholarships is not sufficient, and that thereby persons are sent to the University who ought to be in a preparatory school. He also complains that under 1 18 of the University act such persons may remain in the school as a clog and hindrance to others, for ten weeks, before they can be dropped out by the faculty.
