100 APPENDIX.
Estate, and watch the development of all our plans for its
improvement; to assist in the inauguration of the several
departments of labor upon it, so intimately connected with the I
success of the Industrial College, are paramount duties. All 1
these have imperatively demanded my time and my energies. ,
Yet, in the midst of all this, I have found time to secure obliga- `
tions to the Real Estate and Building Fund to the amount of
fortyjive thousand dollars since our last meeting; having, also, J
within the last two years, paid promptly nlnetysix thousand ‘- l
dollars upon the Estate, as will be shown in my Report as )
Treasurer.
Such, then, have_ been the labors of the year amidst which I
have been blessed with sufficient health and strength, and for
which I am profoundly grateful. The Board and friends gen-
erally may, therefore, rest assured that I will continue to do l
all in my power to meet their expectations and to accomplish
the work of my life. lip , I
I can not conclude this Report without expressing to you, i
gentlemen of the Board, to the Executive Committee, to the ii
Senate, and to all the members of the various Faculties, and to 1
` other oilicers, my sincere thanks for the uniform kindness, y
sympathy, and co-operation which I have experienced during  
my earnest and arduous labors. May God grant that we may  
all continue to labor harmoniously and successfully together,  
for the good of our race and the glory of His name!   p
All of which is respectfully submitted. · i '.
