One of these bulletins) ir refers to questions asked by some who are inferested in the University as to why the expenditure for maint should be so much greater than it was seventeen years ago, before the re- organization' which took place in 1906. In reply to these inquiries it is point- ed out that, for some years previous to 1906, the Provincial University was, admittedly, starved. It was literally in a dying condition.
