Receipts and Expenditures (Pp. 17-18) In 1886 the two year budget was again estimated. All income deriving from the endowed land was $63,000, approximately one third of the total income.The Resources of the University (Pp. 89-90) The regents paid respect to the gifted land from the Morrill Act, giving it credit for one third of the university's income. -

Rather a serious focus should be dedicated to the "...education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions in life." -
