V "v $347 AVERAGE PAID FOB OPERATION OF STATE UNIVERSITY Educational operation# of the University of Illinois cost the average citizen >3.67 for the last fiscal year, comptroller Lloyd Morey has reported, Of the University's $48,641,- 330 operating expense, |31,883,- 831 or 73 per cent came from State taxes. Federal grants and contracts provided 13 per cent; student fees 7 par cent; earnings, gifts, and endowments 7 per cent. Forty-six par cent of the money went to instruction, libraries, and activities such aa its hospitals to provide student training; 2W per cent to organized research; 10 per cent to extension and public service activities; 24 per cent to plant operation, administration* retirement and similar benefits. In 1901-52, student enrollment totaled 20,105, with thousand* more in extension programs. Student fees provided roughly one-sixth the actual instructional costs. Of University research, comptroller Morey says "There is little doubt that the - people of Illinois receive more return for every dollar invested than for almost any other expenditure."
