SPEAKING OF FACTS AND FIGURES Giving a new angle on the inner workings of the University may be going off at a tangent from the regular circle and whirl of college life, but to a certain degree it helps round out that circle. About 350 employees at Fayetteville are instrumental in making the wheels go ’round for the students. Including the 415 men and women working at the Medical school and hospital, in the Agri Ex¬ tension service, and the four Branch experiment stations, a total of approximately 765 persons are aiding in the education of the students at Arkansas. The annual payroll is, in round numbers, $578,000. d ' he instruc¬ tional department—meaning the colleges and general extension— receives 91 per cent of this sum. And only 9 per cent goes for admin¬ istration employees (offices of the president, registrar, dean of women, personnel director, and the business office) and for those who keep up the plant. To estimate the annual income is to rise into the upper brackets, for it is almost one million thirty-two thousand dollars. The main source of revenue is the state which gives $515,000. Federal grants amount to $234,000, and student fees, $250,000. The remainder of the figure is filled by money from sales of products and from other miscellaneous sources. The student pays about one-fourth the cost of his education while the federal and state governments take care of the rest of it. Out of about 180 faculty members listed in the college catalogue as many as 78 have Ph. D. degrees. Largest number of Ph. D.’s is from the University of Chicago; there are three runner-ups—Cornell, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. The teachers are paid on salary according to rank. The four ranks in order of descending importance are professor, associate professor, assistant professor, and instructor. Fifteen women and two men comprise the library staff. Two nurses are employed in the infirmary. When the two doctors serving there were called to the army, a system of calling local doctors in rotation by months was started. Many cogs in the huge University machine never become known to the students—but they keep on grinding out results.
