til 1925, one-third of it will be avail-
able for use, while two-thirds will

fund may be drawn upon for any pur-
pose whatsoever the board of gov-
ernors deems advisable, such as in-
creasing faculty salaries, building
dormitories, and other campus struc-
tures, providing for increased labora-
tory facilities, and increasing athletic
