Such a complaint is far too general for the interests of the Institution and constitutes a serious embarrassment to its influence. It is believed that many students are deterred from coming here by this cause. It is of course a proper subject for inquiry whether these complaints are well founded. All the Departments should be filled by men who deserve the favor and confidence of the community. It is the duty of the Join Board to make all proper investigations and to remedy the evil so far as lies in their power. It may be proper to state this subject was referred to in my last report but that a late hour the passage was stricken out and omitted in its presentation . In all questions relating to the church Show less

A general statement will be found in the Financial Exhibit, copies of which have been placed in your hands. It should be understood that nearly all the funds under the control of the Corporation had been expended before the effort to secure the $100,000 was made. 1859-1860 22 Had all the funds given at different times been bestowed at one time, a large fund would have been secured as an endowment. But for many years the Institution was under the necessity of using these funds to meet current expenses or the operations of the college must have been suspended. No complaint so far as I know has ever been made of any perversion of funds. Should it be asked what has become of them, the answer is they have been expended and the result Show less

I can find time for additional duties here should it be necessary but from the nature of this case cannot attend to the duties that need attention here and spend a large portion of the time abroad. I have felt constrained for the reasons already stated to decline invitations to visit Academies and churches although I regard it as very important that a reasonable number of such calls should be accepted. Many of my duties are very distasteful. I hope the time may come when the care of many details and much of the drudgery now connected with my position may be removed. Show less

Show more(185) that it should hold a high rank and not be inferior to others in its endowment and its facilities for instruction. The North East and the N.Y. Conferences at their last sessions appointed committees to devise the means for increasing its endowment it (sic) is believed that other conferences will respond cordially to any effort they may make and engage in their plans so far as they mmY require cooperation. It is evident that an endowment that would once have well sustained a college is now insufficient. Salaries and other expenses are nearly double what they were years ago. This increased expense has resulted from changes that have been going on in the commercial world chiefly from the marked decline in the relative value of money. Political economists assure us that this decline may be expected to continue for several years to come. Show less

Still further the wife of the of the professor (sic) of Mathematics has been and still is seriously sick. Under these circumstances we are thankful we have succeeded so well.
