SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE ISSUE • The Alumni are first of all good citizens, and desire for the University only what all good citizens desire-whatever may be necessary to make the Uni versity of the greatest service to the State. They ask for nothing for the University which cannot be secured by the fullest and freest publicity. The only respect in which the relations of the alumni to the University differ from the relations of any other citizen, are. knowl edge of its needs and possibilities and a feeling of per sonal gratitude. The University is maintained for the Sake of the service it can and does render the people of the State; its opportunities are open to all who will take advan tage of them; its service is not limited to those who enter its doors, but it reaches out into the remotest corners of the State and its beneficent touch is felt by the humblest citizen. This issue of the Wee k I y is sent out for the purpose of placing the facts _before the people. We ask for the University only what a full consideration of the State's needs and the State's resources will justify.

For fifteen weeks of each of the past two summers I have lived at Lake Min netonka and have travelled, twenty-seven and one-half miles, back and forth each day, or, almost exactly FIVE THOUSAND MILES each summer. My carfare has been FORTY DOLLARS each season, or, four-fifths of a cent a mile. During the thirty weeks there have not been half a dozen times when I have not looked forward to the trip itself with real pleasure. The part of the trip that lies within the bounds of the city, is usually passed reading the morning or evening paper, but I never feel, no matter how stirring the news, that I can afford to so waste one moment of the ride through the beautiful country that lies between the city and the lake. Every day of each season has been a constant delight. The trip across the lake in the morning, in the comfortable express boats which are connected with the Twin City Rapid Transit company's system, remains with me all day as a pleasant memory. When the days are hot and business is dull, I look forward to the cool .ride home and the delightful evening tn be spent at the lake, with the keenest pleasure. When I turn my back upon the city at night, I throw off care as I never can while living in the city. The evenings at the lake are spent in rowing, sailing, bathing, or, sitting quietly watching the play of the setting sun upon the water, while boats with their merry loads of care-free passengers, glide hither and yon; they are moments never to be forgotten. The peace and beauty and restfulness of the scene must be experienced to be appreciated. The mornings, too, at the lake are worth paying any price to enjoy-the beauty of the sun rising acros~ the lake (its colors are not to be described) the freshness of the air, the whole wonderful, not-to-be-described atmosphere of peace and beauty, are a constant benediction.

To All Minnesota Alumni: Thi. issue of the Weekly:! devoted to placina before the alunoni "nd the people of lhe State of Minne.ota the needs of the University, as reported by the Board of Regents, and to urging the necessity of PROMPT and JUDIC IOUS effort on the pal·t of the Ahllnni and fricmds of the Urnve .ity, Lo the end tbat the people of the State and their representatives in the Legislature may have the needs of the University fairly and fully placed before them. Our cause is a just one and can only be helped by the f-.llleat publicity. If any particular thing can o t be secured by methods above qu=tion, the Uni versity is better without it. The University is going to ask for the support of the people of the State inciefinitely and there i. cnly one way to retain the confidence of the people of the State and that is TO MERIT SUCH CONFI DENCE. It is our OPPOR TUNITY to help place the University and its needs be fore the people of the State and to do our share to secure for its needs a fair consideration tbat it mey become to the State all that it . bould be to the peo ple of the State, and as a contributor to hurean knowledge. The ONE THING, overshadow;ng all others in order of importe.nce, is the paso .. ge of a law granting the University a ONE-HALF MILL TAX LEVY for general support. Along with this is the grantir.g of the various items a.ked for CURRENT EXPENSE purposes-these items are fur mere important th.n the ite'ns for buildings and permanent improvements and special emphas;s should be laid upon the GRANTING OF EVERY ITEM OF CURRENT EX PENSE a .• ked. Fortunately we are not shut up to the necessity of making n choice be tween the two-the State can afford to grant all that is requested and it must grant eubstantially all that is requested if the children of the people of the State are to be properly cared for at the University. V/hile we sl ould use every effort p<'ss;ble {o &ecure p.-cper approprea tions for the University, we "heuM be careful so to act that no one .hall be able to t ruthfully aay of us that w e place 0 r love for the Univenityahove ot!r loyalty to the State. All that we need to ask for is a square deal for the Stale in the proper support of the Uninsrsity. We are privileged citizens and havea great OPPORTUNITY for service --our RESPONSIBILITIES are likewise grent. Let us meet it as broud-minded men and women and show that the t raining we have "eceived at the University ha& broadened our sympathies and made us better citizens, more public-. p irited and more ready to make some sacrifice for the public good. Such an opportunity comes to you seldom-if you neglect it now you cannot make up such neglect by later activity--in the whol" history of the world there has never been A TOMORROW. Please !
