That the Presidents house should at once be

!, dent to every reasonable mind. We all know
} the great want there is in our institutions Of
learning for home influence, with home. like
) surroundings, after the mental toll of the day
2 is past. This want, we propose in a grea,
degree to meet, BY having the residence o,
f the faculty on the college grounds; home
. where our boys and girls Gas may now soon
be the case,) can meet and mingle in friendly
intercourse with their teachers; thus deyei.
oping those social qualities which will in af.
D ter life be SO important in assigning them
e their positions in social life.
II Now, Mr.. Speaker and gentlemen, we ask
| no more than is absolutely necessary to ac.
r complish this all important purpose; and
trust your good Judgment will not allow this
appropriation to be cut down, as YOU see il
must cripple the condition of the college to a
great extent for future usefulness.
The amendment was adopted
