Show more(315) Library Fund & Building Among the most important measures originated in behalf of the University last year, must be reckoned the proposition of the Alumni to raise a Library Fund of $2500. Subscriptions received amount to about $6500. There were two generous subscriptions of $1000 each. Many of the subscriptions were made with much sacrifice and indicated an earnest interest in behalf of the University more valuable than merely large donations. It was provided that when the Fund should amount to $10,000 the interest should be available for Library purposes. This measure of the Alumni as thus presented would be worthy of the hearty cooperation of the Joint Board, but lately a new and increased interest has been given the subject. Isaac Rich Esq in addition to the princely gift of $4500 besides sundry smaller donations bestowed at various times has promised to erect a suitable Library and Lecture Building as soon as the Library Fund of $2500 shall be found or satisfactorily secured.

Show more(314) ruinously with that high standard of scholarship which it is the purpose of the Faculty to maintain. Olin professorship - Gymnasium [\page] 1863-1864 51 I take pleasure in stating that the condition requiring a valid subscription of $2000 for a Gymnasium on which the Endowment of the Olin Professorship was promised has been fully met by a subscription of $3538 exceeding the sum required by $1538. The legal obligation for the proposed endowment of $2500 was promptly given and the interest on the sum has been duly paid. A beautiful and well furnished Gymnasium has ben erected, the cost of which owing to the increasing price of materials and labor after the plan of the building was formed has slightly exceeded the subscription but the charge paid for the use of the gymnasium will not only meet this debt but constitute a source of income to the Institution.

Show more(313) the college is called to contend. A large number of our students come to us poorly prepared notwithstanding our published notices relative to the conditions for admission and the increased rigidness of the examinations. There is a prevalent opinion that students are regularly admitted who have not completed the prescribed studies. More than half of 'the students admitted this year were conditional. The burden thus imposed from the nature of the case they are poorly prepared to bear. Many become discouraged and abandon a college course and others are embarrassed through the whole college course and fail to do the full credit to themselves and to the college which under other circumstances would be manifest. 2 The other evil to which I allude is the absence of many students during a large part of their college course. This results from their poverty that compels them to seek the means of meeting their necessary expenses and perhaps under present circumstances there is no remedy but the absence is an evil that interferes

Finances The Report of the Treasurer will inform the Board of the state of the finances of the University. I have frequently called the attention of the Board that (sic) the statement of property is only nominally correct. I have nothing to add to the suggestions heretofore made. During the year some oustanding claims have been collected. One Note of $2500 has been paid. Also a subscription of $i000 and some smaller notes have been collected. Some outstanding notes Ithink should be placed in the hands of a judicious attorney for collection.

I beg the indulgence of the Board to permit me to call their attention to the need of a Gymnasium. This subject was presented to their notice last year but no action was taken with reference to it. Much attention is now given by colleges to physical culture and the health of the students. Several costly gymnasiums have recently been erected and earnest inquiries are made by our students and their friends when such accomodations may be expected here. A gymnasium that would meet our present wants would not cost a large sum, perhaps $1500 it (sic) might be erected for a less sum than this.

Show more(301) large well endowed institution than several feeble ones. In the present state of Christian courtesy and union among Christians no denomination can attract to its Colleges its own young men unless they compare favorably in all respects with other colleges. The comparison in respect to endowment, Library and other facilities for instruction between this and other Institutions is not to our credit or for our interest as a Denomination. I respectfully ask that this subject should be referred to a committee who shall consider the expediency of employing an agent or using other means to increase the endowment. I feel confident that a Professorship might be endowed in New York and there is encouragement to think that another Professorship may be endowed by the Alumni.
