Fellow Shareholders
The Fund's performance tracked the S&P 500 Index for the three and 12 months
ended December 31, 1993. Roughly two-thirds of the difference in the 12-month
return was a result of the Fund's operating expenses (the unmanaged S&P 500
Index, of course, incurs no expenses). Transaction costs and slight
differences in the portfolio weightings as opposed to the S&P 500 accounted
for the remainder of the variance.
In our management approach, we constantly search for improved and more
efficient methods of implementing the indexed portfolio. Because of the Fund's
significant asset growth, we have been able to establish positions in
companies very near the makeup of the S&P 500. Further-more, we also continue
to utilize innovative mechanisms, such as electronic trading networks, to
rebalance portfolio weightings as the composition of the S&P 500 changes. We
believe the tighter tracking exhibited in the last three quarters of 1993 will
continue into 1994, leading to future cost savings for the Fund and better
performance for you.

With only 11 company additions and deletions, 1993 was a quiet year of
turnover (2%) for the S&P 500. This low turnover means we had fewer positions
to sell, hence the size of the Fund's capital gain distributions was lower
than it might otherwise have been.
Year-End Distributions
On December 21, 1993, the Fund's Board of Directors declared a dividend of
$.07 per share and a long-term capital gain of $.01 per share, payable January
3, 1994, to shareholders of record on December 21, 1993. In early January, we
mailed your check or statement reflecting the total payments of $.08 per
share. Form 1099-DIV, reporting the distributions for tax purposes, was mailed
to you in late January.
Market Review
U.S. stocks rose for the third consecutive year despite widespread concern
about the pace of economic recovery in the United States, generally depressed
economic conditions in Europe and Japan, the budget deficit, and higher
individual and corporate tax rates. However, these apparent obstacles were
overwhelmed by the lowest interest rates in a generation, which helped
corporations strengthen their financial positions and also prompted
individuals to flee low-yielding investments for the potentially more
rewarding (but also riskier) stocks and longer-term bonds. Also, other
statistical data (e.g., housing starts and auto sales) continued to confirm
that U.S. economic growth was, in fact, accelerating.
The fourth quarter economy departed from the trends exhibited earlier
in the year as evidence of economic acceleration mounted. Interest rates rose
slightly, depressing the prices of financial company stocks, and oil prices
fell, leading to weakness in the energy sector. However, consumer-related
stocks rallied, as did the long-suffering drug stocks.
As measured by the 10.1% gain in the S&P 500, the U.S. equity market
had a good but not spectacular year. Small-company stocks, as represented by
the Nasdaq Composite, performed better at 14.7%. While the S&P's return
doesn't seem high compared with the outstanding performance achieved during
the 1980s, an increase of this magnitude is quite robust considering
longer-term precedents as well as the low rate of inflation during 1993. In
fact, 1993's real return (that is, the nominal return less the inflation rate)
was 7.4%, which is higher than the average annual real return achieved over
the last 60 years.
Investors rotated from sector to sector during the year. Financial
stocks were favored early in the year but lagged when it appeared that
interest rates had bottomed. Health care stocks wilted in the spring when the
Clinton health plan was revealed, but many have at least partially recovered.
Resource-based groups such as energy and gold gyrated along with commodity
prices. Cyclicals, including technology and basic industrial companies, fared
reasonably well for most of the year and closed with a strong fourth quarter.
As discussed above, the major factors contributing to 1993's favorable
results were further interest rate declines and the gradually accumulating
evidence of economic acceleration. But within the market, these themes played
out quite differently.
Value-oriented stocks outperformed growth stocks decidedly. The
S&P/Barra Value and Growth Indices, formed by splitting the S&P 500 Index into
two categories based on each company's price-to-book-value ratio, increased by
18.7% and 1.7%, respectively. Since lower interest rates tend to make
higher-yielding stocks more valuable, such a disparity is not surprising. In
addition, improving economic conditions tend to benefit mature companies more
than those that grow independently of business cycles.
Portfolio Review
The prospect of an improving economy greatly benefited publicly traded
cyclical stocks in the portfolio. As a result, transportation, automo-
tive, and construction stocks, such as Santa Fe Pacific (73.6%), General
Motors (72.6%), and Caterpillar (67.1%), performed very well. Media/
telecommunications, such as Paramount (74.0%) and Time Warner (52.3%), also
soared as new opportunities arose in the management and delivery of
information. Mining, machinery and semiconductor stock prices were also strong
as investors anticipated that the strengthening economy would translate into
new sales.
Health care stocks, such as Merck, Johnson & Johnson, and Bristol
Myers-Squibb, showed the biggest 12-month decline. Increased competition and
the prospect of massive taxes hurt tobacco stocks such as Philip Morris, while
the threat of brand loyalty erosion among consumers dropped share prices for
many food, beverage, and other consumer product stocks. Among the hardest hit
holdings from those sectors included Sara Lee and Anheuser Busch.

Outlook
Stocks remain valued near the top of their historical price/earnings ranges,
with relatively low inflation and interest rates as the principal supports.
Consequently, the potential for increased inflation and higher interest rates
(in response to accelerated economic growth) might cause a correction in the
equity markets. We accept that such corrections or declines are inevitable but
do not believe they negate the long-term growth potential inherent in the
stock market.
The prospect of liberalized world trade and renewed global economic
growth could lead to improved efficiency and sharp earnings growth at many
U.S. companies. Because the S&P 500 and the Fund consist mainly of
high-quality, well-managed companies with leading market positions and sound
financial fundamentals, we believe the Fund's investments should continue to
provide consistent and durable long-term results for you.

Notes to Financial Statements
T.Rowe Price Equity Index Fund / December 31, 1993
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies
T. Rowe Price Equity Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company.
A) Valuation - Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities
exchange (including NASDAQ) are valued at the last quoted sales price on the
day the valuations are made. A security which is listed or traded on more than
one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the
primary market for such security. Other equity securities and those listed
securities that are not traded on a particular day are valued at a price
within the limits of the latest bid and asked prices deemed by the Board of
Directors, or by persons delegated by the Board, best to reflect fair value.
Short-term debt securities are valued at their cost which, when combined with
accrued interest, approximates fair value. Financial futures contracts are
valued at closing settlement prices.
Assets and liabilities for which the above valuation procedures are
inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value are stated at fair value
as determined in good faith by, or under the supervision of, the officers of
the Fund, as authorized by the Board of Directors.
B) Other - Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Investment
transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses
are reported on an identified cost basis. Payments ("variation margin") made
or received by the Fund, dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of
futures contracts, are recorded as unrealized gains or losses until the
contracts are closed. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are
recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain
distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations
which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
The Fund follows the practice of equalization under which undistributed
net investment income per share is unaffected by Fund shares sold or redeemed.
C) Accounting Change - Effective as of the beginning of the year, the Fund
adopted a recently issued accounting standard related to shareholder
distributions. This change resulted in a reclassification to paid-in-capital
of permanent differences between tax and financial reporting of net investment
income and net realized gains/losses. The cumulative effect of this change as
of December 31, 1992 decreased Accumulated net investment income-net of
distributions by $123,000, decreased Accumulated realized gains/losses-net of
distributions by $82,000, and increased Paid-in-capital by $205,000. The
results of operations and net assets were not affected by this change.
Note 2 - Financial Instruments
As a part of its investment program, the Fund utilizes futures contracts. The
nature and risk of these contracts and the reasons for using them are set
forth more fully in the Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information.
A futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and
purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific financial
instrument at a specified price, date, time and place designated at the time
the contract is made. Risks arise from the possible illiquidity of the futures
market and from movements in security values. At December 31, 1993, the Fund
had a long position in 43 Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index Futures which
expire in March, 1994 and which have a contract value of $10,038,000. Net
unrealized appreciation of $2,000 on these contracts at December 31, 1993, is
included in the accompanying financial statements. U.S. Treasury securities
having a market value of $531,000 were pledged as initial margin on these
contracts.
Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term and
U.S. Government securities, aggregated $27,978,000 and $1,159,000,
respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1993.
Note 3 - Federal Income Taxes
No provision for federal income taxes is required since the Fund intends to
continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of
its taxable income.
At December 31, 1993, the aggregate cost of investments for federal
income tax and financial reporting purposes was $145,005,000 and net
unrealized appreciation aggregated $16,913,000, of which $22,400,000 related
to appreciated investments and $5,487,000 to depreciated investments.
Note 4 - Related Party Transactions
The investment management agreement between the Fund and T. Rowe Price
Associates, Inc. (the Manager) provides for an annual investment management
fee, computed daily and paid monthly, equal to 0.20% of average daily net
assets.
Under the terms of the investment management agreement, the Manager is
required to bear any expenses through December 31, 1993, which would cause the
Fund's ratio of expenses to average net assets to exceed .45%. Thereafter, the
Fund is required to reimburse the Manager for these expenses, provided average
net assets have grown or expenses have declined sufficiently so as not to
cause the Fund's ratio of expenses to average net assets to exceed .45% in any
month, and that no such reimbursement shall be made to the Manager after
December 31, 1995. Pursuant to this agreement, $293,000 of management fees
were not accrued by the Fund for the year ended December 31, 1993, and $20,000
of other expenses were borne by the Manager. Additionally, $338,000 of
unaccrued fees and expenses remain subject to future reimbursement. Pursuant
to a previous agreement, $421,000 of unaccrued fees and expenses from
1990-1991 have been permanently waived.
T. Rowe Price Services, Inc. (TRPS) and Retirement Plan Services, Inc.
(RPS) are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Manager. TRPS provides transfer and
dividend disbursing agent functions and shareholder services for all accounts.
RPS provides subaccounting and recordkeeping services for certain retirement
accounts invested in the Fund. The Manager, under a separate agreement,
calculates the daily share price and maintains the financial records of the
Fund. For the year ended December 31, 1993, the Fund incurred fees totalling
approximately $374,000 for these services provided by related parties. At
December 31, 1993, these service fees payable were $33,000.
