Even this small sum seem ed a large endowment to' institutions, established for higher learning, which up until that time thought themselves well provided with an endowment fund of $100,000 or $150,000. The college was placed in successful operation with a small, but able and energetic faculty, and supplied instruction as best it could with the means at its disposal. They managed tolerably well to give instruction in the rudiments of physics, chemistry, botany and zoology, thus laying the foundation for a system cf practical education which it was hoped would come into being when the income of the institution became larger.
