Book excerpt: Excerpt from Columbia University Bulletin of Information: Annual Report of the President and Treasurer to the Trustees, With Accompanying Documents, for the Year Ending June 30, 1920 Heights. The several corporations included in the University's educational system hold and administer property that may be conservatively valued at 000, of which have been added by gift or bequest during the past twenty years. The annual budget appropriations now amount to approximately a sum greater than that raised and spent annually by any one Of twenty States. Though a giant, Columbia University, as stated in an earlier Annual Report, is a giant in bonds. It is now doing everything which its present resources make possible. To provide needed buildings for classrooms, for labora tories and for residence, to make possible the putting into effect of the wise and careful plans for the Medical School, to care properly for the buildings and grounds, and to undertake those well-matured projects which have been described in previous years, an additional capital sum Of not less than is required. The most significant event Of the year was the quick acceptance by the Trustees Of the recommendations as to academic salaries and academic fees contained in the Annual Report for 1919 [pp. 1 - 4, 9 The scale and classification Of salaries then recommended was adopted and put into effect from January I, 1920, thus Offering as prompt relief as possible to the great number of aca demic teachers who were having increasing difficulty to meet the steadily rising cost Of living. This scale and Classification Of salaries, while not final or the best possi ble, is probably as long an advance as has yet been made toward the suitable compensation Of Officers Of instruction and research in a university.
