An engraved photograph shows one of 15 University buildings on the Lincoln campus. Removalists urge Nebraskans to abandon and convert the structures into junk, asking whether it is good business to waste these facilities.
The 1895 building remodeled in 1904 at a total cost of 61,250 uses pressed brick and limestone with a slate roof. The university seeks another building for chemical research and extension plans. Sizable land east of campus could be acquired for under 300,000 to provide space to grow to about 12,000 students.
A Nebraska reader argues against a distant, long range expansion plan. He urges immediate action to expand floor space now, warning that dreaming of 2015 or 1964 obscures current needs. He appeals to faith to guide present educational decisions.
A fragmentary report discusses Halffer and Coupland suggesting a state dormitory cost of $3 per week, noting the state university would become unaffordable for hundreds of students who currently earn some of their expenses.
Six regents push to remove a leadership bloc amid a power struggle as plot details surface. Officials signal action to curb irregular influence and restore governance order within the institution.
A strong appeal argues against moving the University to the State Farm. It warns removal would waste campus value built over forty years, burden students with transit costs, hamper agriculture growth, and disrupt university work for eight to fifteen years. It cites finance options, building needs, and the community impact on education.
The State Farm comprises 320 acres essential for the School of Agriculture and the experiment station. It is surrounded by costly city lots with no plan for enlargement. Acquiring an additional eighty adjoining acres to replace the campus‑bound land would cost between 200000 and 300000 dollars.
The plan envisions a present campus and extension totaling forty acres to house a university with four times the current enrollment. It aims to meet state needs until the population reaches four times its present size.
A university report recalls a dormitory project at Fourthteenth and U streets funded by subscriptions that was tried and abandoned after a fair trial. It notes the dormitory system is obsolete and predicts Nebraska will not follow the suggestion to build dormitories soon.
Republican candidate Owen P. Stewart opposes the removal and urges votes against Measure 305 in November citing lack of convincing benefits. He asserts no absolute reasons are provided for the removal and challenges the removalists to justify it.
A gardening note explains how to prevent fly breeding in manure piles by sprinkling fresh horse manure with borax at the rate of one ounce per bushel. This simple method is presented as a safe alternative to prior methods and likened to mosquito control in effectiveness.
The First National Bank at Diller Nebraska announces liquidation. All note holders and creditors of the association must present notes and claims for payment. Dated January 27, 1914. P. Price, Cashier.
