ACCRUED INTEREST

The interest heretofore collected by the State Board of Education in accordance with the provisions of the act of August 21, 1876, due at the end of the fiscal year of 1876, on the bonds belonging to the Agricultural and Mechanical College and invested in six percent state bonds, shall also constitute a part of the perpetual fund of the university until the legislature shall otherwise provide. The state board shall collect the semiannual interest on the bonds as it becomes due, and place the money in the state treasury to the credit of the fund. The interest on all such bonds is set apart exclusively for the use of the university and shall be drawn from the treasury by the board of directors on vouchers audited by the board, or approved by the governor and attested by the secretary of the board. On the vouchers being filed with the comptroller, he shall draw his warrant on the state treasury as necessary to pay the directors, professors and officers of the university.
