Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an in-depth analysis of the State University of Iowa, its history, and its educational system. The author details how the board of regents, composed of the governor, the superintendent of public instruction, and one person from each congressional district, governs the university. The board has the power to appoint a president, faculty, and other officers, as well as fix their salaries. It also has the power to sell university lands, invest funds, and make appropriations for the university's support and development. The author meticulously describes the various funds that the university has, including the income fund, building fund, land funds, and scholarship funds. They also point out that the university's income comes from a variety of sources, including state appropriations, tuition and fees, interest on investments, and donations. The author gives a thorough account of the buildings on campus, including when they were built, who the architects were, and how much they cost. For example, the Hall of Liberal Arts was built in 1900 and cost $126,000. It was designed by architect W. W. Boyington and is a four-story, brick building with a limestone foundation. The author provides an in-depth look at the university's educational policies, including the curriculum, admissions, and grading. The faculty of the College of Liberal Arts has recently revised the courses of study, bringing them up to date with modern universities. The revised curriculum includes ten major groups of studies, such as political science, economics, natural science, and physical science.
