fortsbly, and procme the means to put up
additional buildipgs. 1
We feel under many and increasing obli-
gations to our good brethren In this and
other States. for their generous and noble
liberality extended 10 the institution through
Brother Todd, and we still commend him
aud tho mission on which he Is sent to the
generous liberality Of our glorious and In
creasiDg brotherhood, hopsing shsy viii all
regard II ~ their ewn insttation, cone
nobly and generously 70 its support, and feel
the great Importance Of sustaining Il. We
know not how money could be given where
II could be the means of dong 60 much
good. or 20 advance the principles of our
Beloved Order, and IL does seem to us that all
good brethren and Lodges should feel, not
only willing, bat really anxious to contribute
to the great and good work, to move on sue
cessfuily which 1t Is so necessary 10 lend their
aid, and with as little delay rs possible.
We have received through Brother6r Todd,
donations from Lodges and brethren amount.
ing TO more than ten thousand dollars siuce
his election 10 the Presidency Of the College
and his appointment as financial agent, and
those familar with the condition Of the Col
iege and It's Indebtedness before he took
charge Of IL will be sssonishet at the much
that has been accomplished with this amount
Of money, and In % short time. Most Of
the money obtained By Brother Todd has
been procured through Lodges and brethren
In other States be having visited
but very few Lodges In Tennessee, waiting
for the breshsn torecovss from their war
worn, Impoverished condition. He has,
however. visited the Lodges In Nashville,
Edge8eld and Columbia, all of which re-
sponded readily, nobly aud literally to the
call made upon them, aud for whish we beg
them 70 accept our grateful acknowledg-
mentA, assuring them that their money his
been well applied, and hoping that all the
other Lodges in Tennessee win follow their
praiseworthy example.
We beg leave, through your Grand Body,
to return our grateful Acknowledgements and
earnest thanks 10 the Lodges and good
brethren In other States for their willing,
noble and liberal contributions throrgh
Brother Todd, whom we still heartily CON-
mend as faithful and efficient agent worthy
of all confidence at home and abroad.
Il became necessary, to shield the College
from nuisances and for other purposes, to
procure additional grounds These have
been purchased, enclosed, and paid for, and
add much = the beauty and value Of the
properly:
We are deeply grateful for the very kind
and complimentary manner In which your
Honorable Grand Body was pleased to speak
of the institution in iu Last Annual Com
munication, and 10 the officers Of the Grand
Lodge for the valuable assistance they have
rendered us 10 raising means In other States,
by their very appropriable and Official COM
mendatious. None of 10 can now estimate
the great amount Of good that has been
done. One thing we do know; the institn-
ton stands noble, inviting, telling and
beautiful monument 10 the libsrality and
true spirit of Odd-Fsllows, saying to the
little fAtherless, destitute wanderer, "Come
home" and procIaiming to the world that,
North, South, East and West we arc one and
insepsrable, ffstsrual sympathixing, united
loving family.
