Excerpt from Report of the Survey Commission II., And, the Salary Situation and Cost of Living
The second report which is herewith submitted was prepared by Mr. Albert J. Lobb, Assistant Professor of Political Science. This report deals with the salary situation of the University of Minnesota in comparison with the increased cost of living and in comparison with the situation at other typical universities. If the University of Minnesota ten years ago had had in its possession such information as this, all of which was avail able at that time, it would have been possible for it to have presented a program to the Legislature and to the citizens of the state which would have enabled it to have avoided the unfortunate conditions with respect to salaries which now exist in the University.
