THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
On motion of Mr. STEIN, Mr. Hughes' bill [S. 298], making an appropriation for the support of the State University $10,000 annually in addition to the appropriation heretofore made, was read the third time.
Mr. CARSON thought we were going a little too fast-there may be no money in the treasury to meet it.
Mr. STEIN recited the history of the bill in brief, and trusted that it would be passed a peace offering to our Bloomington friends, since they have lost the Agricultural College.
The bill failed to pass by yeas 19, nays 21.
