Crosby Laboratory

Volume 11 After many years of waiting, years pregnant with hope and disappointment, the Legislature of the State has given permanent and definite support to our beloved University. This means that we can now place the Institution upon a business basis and make definite plans for the future, something which we never have been able to do for more than a two-year period. Altho with our present income, we are not rich and must cut our garment to fit our cloth, we shall be able to make distinct advances in both our educational and building programs. It would appear that the State is giving us all that we should expect and that an increase is not likely for some years to come The only method of increasing our income is by gifts from interested individuals outside the University.* The old prejudice against giving to state supported institutions is rapidly disappearing as evidenced by the many gifts of the last few years to these institutions. The University of Maine plans to make a determined effort to secure such funds and it is hoped that the next few years will see a substantial increase in our endowm ent which will allow us to provide the many things necessary for our welfare. Until this occurs we must put our efforts upon quality of product rather than upon quantity, and then when the time comes we shall be ready for expansion.
