Book Description

Excerpt from The University of North Carolina Record; December, 1933, Vol. 287: Report of the President The present three-fold structure of the University is outlined in the figures which are summarized in a folder placed in your hands for further study. The capital investment in the three plants totals The current maintenance and Operation costs of the three plants amount to The total living alumni of the three institutions number and the students in residence this fall number The state appropriations to the institutions have dropped from the maximum figures of for the University at Chapel Hill to from for State College to and from for the Woman's College to for the current year. The total appropriation has dropped from a maximum of to the present total of The cut in appropriations is fifty - four per cent since 1929. We cannot too frequently emphasize the meaning of these figures. They are not cold figures on a page. They are warm with the struggles of a state, its people, and their institutions to carry on; courageous with the sacrifice of parents and the pluck of students. These figures are vivid with the high will of teachers to teach their best against the heavy odds of worry about unpaid grocery bills, lapsed insurance policies, arrears on house payments, misgivings about their provision for their children. Scholars and teachers of incalculable value to the state and of national and international distinction have resisted many calls. They are here holding the line for North Carolina.
