on buildmgfor the future. The University is growing to meet the demands of the fu- ture. This growth is a matter of public policy supported by successive state administrations and the General Court. Amounts represented in the chart are appropriations for buildings during the past five years. State funds are used for instructional and service facili- ties. Residence halls, married student and faculty apart- ments, and the student activity center are constructed by the University of Massachusetts Building Association (a private corporation created by the General Court) on a self-liquidating basis with no net cost to the taxpayer. When paid for from student rentals and fees, these build- ings become the property of the Commonwealth. $9,750,000 1 1 1 -"T ^^^ $3,637,000 1 jw.„. ! 1 5'. 200,000 D J of M Building A.socia,ion $^835,000 1 $2,000,000 for a growing population . .

Of this, $7,732,241 was appro- priated by the Commonwealtli, amounting to 74.8 cents out of each operating dollar. HOWEVER, THE UNIVERSITY RETURNED TO THE STATE TREASURER, AS REQUIRED BY THE STATE CONSTITUTION, $2,144,949 REPRESENTING COLLECTIONS FOR STUDENT TUITION, BOARD AND ROOM, AND SUNDRY SALES AND SERVICES. Thus, the net cost to the taxpayer was only $5,587,292, or 54 cents out of each operating dollar.

Research and library, expenditures closely related to instructional costs, required 13.9 cents and 1.7 cents re- spectively of the operating dollar. Agricultural extension services and state agricultural control services required 8.3 cents and 3.7 cents each. Operation and maintenance of the physical plant and residence halls ac- counted for 15.8 cents of the dollar. Six cents of every dollar went toward dining hall operations and 10.1 cents into student activities. The remainder of the operating dollar was expended as follows: administration 3.1 cents, student personnel services 2.3 cents and scholarships 0.9 cents. The small circle on the right shows that of the 34.2 cents spent for direct instructional costs, a total of 31.9 cents (93 per cent) was provided by state appropriations. The remainder— 2.3 cents (7 per cent)— was provided by the federal government and from gifts and grants. .-GIFTS + GRANTS 1.2$ FEDERAL GOVT. 1 .U to provide education for .

Enrollment has risen from 3,524 students in 1951 to 5,271 in 1958. Present plans call for this increase to continue at an even greater rate so that by 1963 the enrollment should approach 10,000 students. A highly educated citizenry is essential to the continued growth and development of the in- dustrial economy of Massachusetts. The per cent of Massachusetts high school graduates entering college is steadily increasing. At present, the college age group is at its lowest point in twenty-five years, yet enroll- ments are at the highest level in history. This trend, coupled with a growing population, makes necessary more facili- ties for an increasing enroll- ment. m schools and colleges of. .
