Show more(316) When Mr. Rich promises to erect a suitable building to correspond to the library Fund no questions must be asked as to its character cost or style. There is a sufficient guarantee that it will be all the friends of the Institution would desire. I wish to call special attention to this generous and noble offer in order that the Joint Board may make a suitable acknowledgement and that measures may be devised to aid the Alumni who cannot reasonably be expected to raise the needed amount from their own numbers. I think an agent should be employed who shall act under the authority of the Alumni and the Joint Board. I presume a communication will be received from the Alumni that may indicate their view relative to the proper course to be pursued. It is important that prompt and energetic measures should be used to secure this Fund. It is not now an unfavorable time

Show more(416) Lands to be sold--Lands to be bought After reflection I earnestly recommend that the land on High Street which Mrs. Hubbard has given should be sold and that the lot of land lying on the South side of Cross Street be purchased. The lot of which I recommend the purchase lies near to the college property being separated by a street. It is every way desirable and will be needed. It is to be feared that it will be sold in small lots to persons who will build inferior houses and greatly diminish the appearance of the surroundings of the college. The future of the college will require that the square on which it stands should belong to it and the lots on the opposite side of the streets surrounding it. I hope the Trustees will examine into this matter and give the subject careful attention. The generous gift will enable us to secure

Show more(357) that a tower should be built in front of the Boarding Hall and on the top of it the Astronomical Observatory should be placed. The objections which were made at the time this proposition was made I did not then regard as sound. I find that arrangements almost precisely similar have been made at the Yale Scientific School. I would respectfully ask that authority should be given to repair the building by shingling the roof adding a proper cornice and that a proper tower should be built for of the kind and for the purposes indicated. The Square and the Hill West of Mt. Vernon St. I renew the suggestion that it is very desirable that the whole square containing the college property and the Hill lying West of the College Cemetery should belong to the College. The time will come when this property must be secured but the prosperity

Show more(144) would also acknowledge my obligations to resident officers of the Joint Boards and of the Trustees and especially to Dr. Laban Clark and Wm.J. Trench, esq. for attention and cooperation in securing such changes as I deemed absolutely essential. The past year has been one of harmony among the officers and students and one of great prosperity. The Graduating Class numbers 28 and the Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman class number 116. The demeanor of the students has been characterized by great propriety and there has been diligence in study and carefulness in attention to all required duties. It is believed that no institution in the land has a better class of students or those more generally governed by high moral and religious principles. It may not be improper for me to allude to the labors of the faculty. They were placed under peculiarly embarrassing circumstances at the commencement of this year which they

Show more(219) has been disappointment and chagrin at the accomodations presented. Formerly denominational influences led young men of our church to seek the privileges of our own institutions, on account of the annoyances and discomforts experienced elsewhere, but a more commendable and liberal spirit now prevails and full opportunity is given for the enjoyment of religious preferences. It is now the case that many sons of members and of ministers of our church are educated in colleges under the control of other denominations. In many cases as a result of this, their influence to a great extent if not wholly is lost to our church. The time has come when this Institution should be placed in the position designed by its founders. An institution of the highest grade with ample endowment is demanded. Nowhere at so little expense and under so favorable circumstances can this object be realized.

Show moreWe Sie ye UNIVERSITY, ps ff “Y Ay A, . a Mbidd Lard, Camm. 5 Lecqust, AE 72. of DEAR BROTHER: We earnestly solicit your personal influence in favor of the WESLEYAN Universiry. The case is urgent. The Corporation cannot recede from the advanced position taken, and cannot maintain it without a large increase of funds. We request you to aid the Institution : 1. By recommending it, and advising students to seek its advantages. We will furnish you with Catalogues and such other information as you may desire. 9. By sending to us the names of men of large means and liberal views, from whom large eifts may be expected, and also the names of those from whom, with good prospect of success, we may solicit subscriptions for a limited time, to meet current expenses. 3. We urge you to recommend, as you have opportunity, the mode of investment we propose, whereby the University will ultimately gain property, and the donors the income for as long a period as they may choose. We are fully confident the University will be sustained. The time of uncertainty relative to its success has past. In beauty, healthfulness, and other natural ad rantages of location, in thoroughness of scholar- ship, and strength of moral influences, it is unsurpassed. It is connected with important interests and with names held in highest favor by the Church. Its past success gives encouragement to expect greater resources and influence in the future. It will afford us great pleasure to hear from you and to receive any suggestions in aid of our cause. Yours Truly, JOSEPH CUMMINGS, President of Wesleyan University. �

Show moreOLIN LIBRARY | WESLEYAN COLLECTION 4 wane 10 the Conference of the M. EB. Church. Annual THE following general statement is respectfully submitted as the Annual Report of the Weslevan University, to the Patronizing Conferences, The number of students is one hundred and fifty-six, of whom one hundred and thirty-six are profes- sors of religion, and forty-three Licensed Preachers. The Institution is steadily increasing in influence, resources and facilities for instruction. The enter- prises previously commenced, have been carried forward during the year as rapidly as circumstances would permit, and it is expected that the MrmorrAL CuapEy and the ORANGE Jupp HAtLu or NATURAL ScrENCE will be dedicated with appropriate ceremonies during Commencement Week. The work on the MemortaL Cuapen has been delayed for want of funds and its completion will depend on the prompt payment of the amount promised. A very valuable and complete set of Casts of Fossils, prepared by Prof. H. A. WArp. has recently been * 3 “ « procured, which will add greatly to the attractiveness and the facilities of instruction of the department of Natural History. At the last meeting of the Joint Board of Trustees and Visitors, the new Charter granted by the Legislature of Connecticut, was accepted, and Trustees were elected in accordance with its provisions by the Joint Board and the Alumni, and it now remains for the Patronizing Conferences to complete the organization by selecting the number of Trustees respectively assigned them. The Charter provides that each Patronizing Conference is entitled to one Trustee who must be elected by ballot. A copy of the new Charter is herewith transmitted, in which will be found a full statement of the powers, duties and 7 term of office of the ‘Trustees. The Conference is respectfully requested to elect one Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Charter, and to give notice of his election to the President of the University. The Corporation will meet at 9 o’clock A. M.,on Tuesday July 18. Copies of this Report, of the Charter, and Catalogues for the use of the Committee on Education have been forwarded to the Pastor of the Church in which the Conference holds its session.

Various circumstances combined to render the past year unfavorable for such an effort. Businessmen have not yet fully recovered from recent financial losses and reverses. A large number of those from whom we should expect aid have given liberally to the University - which now holds obligations against them on which interest is paid. They state that when these obligations were given they were assured that the University would be in a good condition and would not need further help for many years. The friends of another Literary Institution have sought and are still seeking to divide the interest in favor of education. They have kept at a heavy expense agents employed in collecting funds.

I would therefore distinctly recommend that the funds either be increased or that the expenses of the Board of Instruction should be diminished. The measure that would occur to some, a reduction of salaries, I cannot think would for a moment for various considerations be contemplated. For myself and I presume I speak the sentiments of others in the Faculty - I would much rather perform much extra labor than allow a diminution of the facilities of instruction or inattention to the neatness and good order of the buildings and all other means that should contribute to the comfort of the students and the cultivation of good habits and a refined taste, which must be regarded as an indispensable part of a good education.

The Estimate of Property has been diminished by the omission from the published Exhibit of Finances (of) several thousands of dollars which for years have been of merely nominal value. I have frequently called the attention of the Joint Board to these funds that yield no income and urged that measures should be adopted that would secure collection of all that has any value. It is probable now that no measures within our reach will secure any considerable amount. Several thousands of dollars are now enumerated in the Estimate of Property that are in my Judgement of merely nominal value.

Show moreGenessee College Lima Sept 24th 1857 Rev Laban Clark D.D. Dear Sir, I thank you for your kind letter and the confidence you have placed in me. I have known the interest you have ever manifested in the welfare of the University and also how much its present prosperity is owing to your counsels and labors. I regret that my apparent hesitation has continued so (2) long but circumstances connected with this Institution have rendered it almost impracticable to give a decision. I have been much perplexed and embarrassed in determining what is my duty. I wish to lay aside all mere personal considerations as I should not deem it right in so important a case to be influenced by motives of money or pecuniary considera- tions. The opposition to my leaving Lima is very strong unexpectedly co, and I know not how to meet it. I am deeply interested in the welfare of the University and would do all (3) in my power to promote its interests but I cannot think my services are essential to its prosperity. My decision will probably be given in a few days. I am now anxiously waiting for certain information for which I have written. If the Joint Board at the time of the election considered me as committed by the representations that were made by my friends to accept the office I will accept and announce my decision accordingly. Whatever may be the result I hope it will be for the best. If called to Middletown I shall devote all my energies to the cause of religion and learning. With sentiments of highest respect, Yours truly, Joseph Cummings �
