The claim was assigned to q Mr.. Hutchinson Of New

prospects for the future of the Peoples college
During the first year after the granting Of the chsr-
ter general agent employ cd at the expense OF
the corporation whose time was devoted TO solictog
contributions, ltcturiDg, establishing local agencies,

held by the subject to order herce it will be
seen that the corporation is in sound condition. free
from debt, sbd holding in trus, large amount OF

At the annual meeting last year it was thought adj
visable in view Of approaching financial embarass-
men and the certain prospect OF short harvest with
its attendant evils to postpone further efforts for ras-
ing funds till times became better
In dccord.Dce with tbs resolution the general
sgeI cy was discontinued, and all expenses stopped.
Thus but little has been raised during the pas, year,
nor waa il deemed advisable TO recOmmence active Ell

purpose of tie trustees TO do az soon as the hnan
ciaI endorsements shall have sufficiently passed
away TO warrant the eforts; and so far from having
any msgiviDgs TO the final success of the enterprise,
they see both in the demands of the age and the popu
lar intcres. manifested for Peoples College renewed
assurance that suitable efforts, made at proper tme,
are alone Iecessary to insure It's early completion.
In this connection the trustees desire TO suggest to
every friend of popular educ ,on throug the State

for the Peoples college, ready 10 be forwarded with
