v' Tlie -University pmporty has been
largely donated to the State by
friends of higher education. These
donations have been made in trust,
to be used foir.ver for h'gher educa
tion, and' the State has accepted the
trust. This property includes about
six hundred acres of land, twelve
building, a library of 40,00d books
valuable aiiparatus and funds invest
ed to help support! he Institution and
educate young men without, means to
educate themselves. It cannot, leal

2. The Siale is 'pledged to mair.-
t-iiu it. Ttie Consti union, ndopted I
in 1776. declares that '-all useful!
learning stiall be only ncur:ige(i
and promoted "in one or more uuiver
sit.es." Tie Legislature of 1789.
which granted the charier. sud : "In
all well-regulated governments it is
the indispensable d.ity of every Les
isialure to consult the happiness ot
the rising generation, and endeavor
to fit them for an honorable discharge
of the social outies of life, by pay
ing the" strictest attention to educa
tion and whereas, an University
supported'.-hy permanent fur.ds and
well endowed would have the most
direct tendency to answer the above
purpose' -etc. In pursuance of 'this
purpose '.'the State established this
Institution at Chapel Hill, and gave
it an endowment of about $200,000
bv a lane number of -cities and
progressive towns. Massachusetts
made appropriations to' Harvard, for
nearly two hundred years, uiitil.it
became so wealthy'', a--to' need no
help. In North Carolina the larger
towns like Wilmington, Asheville.
Charlotte, - -Winston. Greensboro,
GoKlsboro, etc., annually aid higher
education in' their graded schools
thus making higher education acces
sible to the people.
5. The University is managed by
Trustees like other institutions. The
Governor is ex officii Chairman of
the Board, the Superintendent of
Public Instruction is1 ex officio a
Trustee, and the other Trustees are
elected by the Legislature. The.
Trustees appoint the olRcers of tl
Institution, jastj as tLe Trustees of
tlie Asylums appoint' their otlicer?.
Ttie linrd meets regularly twice a
year and often er at tiie call of the
Governor, when occasion demands.
The Hoard receives regularly He
tailed reports of the management of
the University, including every item
ot receipt and expenditure. A spec
ial Committee -of five Trustees, ap-
uointed bv the Governor; visUs tlie
Institution each year and personally
examines its management, inspect
ing the accounts, the discipline, the
condition of the property, etc. Ti:e
special Committee this year was
composed of - Rev. J. L: ' Stewart,
chairman i Lieutenant Governo- U.
A. Doughton, W. T. FireCoth, D. G.
Worth, and R. T. Gray, ad of the
financial' management the reported
as follows: The books' of the Bursar
have been faithfully and accurately
kept. No evidence of extravagance
or. mismanagement up.ears'
6. More and better instruction is
aiven m -the University now ttiun
ever he lore;' ati'l we think Us work
will compare favorably, so lar as u
goes, with tli 1 of similar institutions
throughout the eoun'ry. We believe
its graduates are recognized on the
same footing as graduntes of other
leading institutions of learning. l:s
orofpsLrs have been framed in the
be-t American colleges, and some o:
them tn European universities, it
believes that the youth of the State
should have within her borders ladl
ed by Slate ''scholarships under this j
law 20 students, as follows : 7 can
didates for the ministry; 8 sons,of
ministers; 13 teachers; and 1 afflict-:
ed with bodily infirmity. It is fur
ther enacted in Section 3 ot Chapter
233 (in reference to notes -given by
i students) thuT. it is with the under-
stamling that stiount tuey necome
able, they snail pay in full the bal
ance due the University nt the time
'of. their graduation, provided that no
5oung man of good moral character
shall be denied admission. because
of Lis inability to pay cash or give a
good note." Under this Provision
personal notes of seven students are
held, and secured notes of twenty
three, for tuition -during the past
year.
J. The University Normal Schools,
b?gi:ining in 1877. we think served
to stimulate enthusiasm for popular
education, and the Faculty of the
Institution, especially its President,
have labored by voice aud pen to
build up the public schools. In lt3
the University established a regular
department for the special training
of teachers, and placed over it Prf,
E. 'A. Alderman, who had already
by active work in public schHJs -tor
eleven years manifested great earn
estness in the cause of. popular edu
cation and ability to train teachers.
The University has also establ.abtd
a summer school for teachers, which
has recently closed Us first session at
Chanel Hill, having enrolled 60
teachers, active and enthusiastic in
their de9ire for improvement. The
bummer School may be considered ,
permanently established, and its
work will doubtless grow :ri useful
ness witn eaeu succeeding year.
Ti.e advantage of the University
are now accessible to oang meu
who complete the courses in tlie be st
public schools ; and this arrangement
for the admission of students from
the higher public schools into thetr
universities exists in other States
also. We will instance the univer
sities of Harvard, Yale and Cornell.

the annual maintenance of the Uni
versity $20,(J00 (the snuje that it has
