represented by very valuable store
property in the city, is "to be held as
a permanent trust fund, not to be re-
duced or impaired, and only the net
rent and income thereof to be applied
from time to time to the support of
said college, and to the payment of its
current expenses. When the rents

voted to the college shall, with dona-

amount is to be expended in the dis
cretion of the trustees in the purchase
of land and in suitable buildings and
structures thereon for the college, and
for the furniture, apparatus, sc. This
may be commenced by
the trustees as soon as the accumula-
tions reach S300,000." Mr.. Simmons
was about 81 years of age, and was
one of BostOn's most successful cloth
ing merchants. He gave largely but
quietly to charities, invested large
sums in real estate, and owned many
fine buildings which are ornaments to
the city.
