.9 WMNNQH B 0. S. U. in 1899-1900 The University year now drawing to a close will be remem- bered with satisfaction by students and oilicers of O. S. U. as a year of sound growth and solid achievement in several important directions. There have been years when more things have been begun and more schemes for the University projected, when, perhaps, the O. S. U. has been heard from more often by the educational and newspaper-reading public, but there has not, for a long time, been a year of better work, both by students and instructors, nor a year of greater harmony and confidence. The enrollment of students has increased considerably 5 the improved scholarship of the student body is evinced by fewer conditions and failures in the examinations 3 and there has been a total absence this year of student outbreaks and conflicts. All student organizations are flourishing. In athletics the O. S. U. has been triumphant, and measures have been taken by the Faculty and Trustees to afford all of the underclassmen, hereafter, regular training by prescribed courses in the gymnasium. The opening of the Armory to the Battalion for two parties during the year, in addition to the junior and Senior receptions, has in- . 1 creased the interest of the socially inclined in the University as the center of things. The interest of the Faculty VVomen in student affairs has been shown this year, as heretofore, in ways most helpful to the students. The most important achievement in the direction of material growth is the greatly increased tax levy for the next two years, granted by the legislature. This will give the University a new Law Building and a Physics Building, as well as a better equip- ment for these departments. It is hoped that the legislature has by this grant inaugurated a permanent policy of providing new buildings for the University as often as these shall i11 the future be needed, leaving the regular income available for the running expenses of the institution. T0 expect the Trustees to save out of the regular income sufficient money to erect new buildings as needed in the future would be absurd, in view of the rapid growth of tl1e University. If the present bonded indebtedness of the University incurred by the erection of buildings were now entirely paid, every cent of the money thus released for use would bc quickly absorbed in meeting legitimate demands of the depart-
