GENTLEMEN: At your request, ]
repeat, IN a condensed form, tho sub.
stance of n statement made to yon
some months ago concerning the ma
toriat wants of this College. Time
has confirmed my conviction TINT for
tho immediate success OF tho school,
a building must DO added that siall
~scrvo.for kitchon, dining room, store
and servants rooms. For these pur-
poses we have now to draw from tho
twenty-sovcn rooms i'm the existing
building. This IL inconvcniont, pre-
vents proper adjustment, and de-
prives us of room NODDED for any con
siderable increase in the nnmbor OF
boarding pupils. Tho capacity of
the building now In use is not suffi-
cient for . school easily sclf-sustain-
Ing, but tho addition mentioned
above would enable the school to &C.
commodatc forty-1vc or fifty board
ing pupils and to supply rooms forall
other purposes. Such O school as
| you havo projected and as tho church
demands could then be conducted in
scholastic order aud witho& finan-
cial peril. There is good reason to
expect forty or fifty pupils from
abroad next September, il we have
room for them. 1t is a rare thing
for college to command SO many adj
vantages as this ono docs-aInple
and beautiful grounds ; an elevated
and healthy situation ; retirement
and quiet, yet sufficient c~onvenicnco
to tho town; railroad connections
with all quarters: and one of the
richest and most charming landscape
Vows that can be found anywhere.
Besides the new buildings men,
toned, tho n now standing needs
some important repairs, and we need
additional furniture. 1t is Uitdl to
the prosecution OF our school-work
here, that all these improvements
shall be ready for the beginning of
the next annual session in September.
You will see gentlemen, that no
time is to be lost, that our wants de-
mand the utmost promptncss and en-
ergy. l trust that the people will
respond to your call, and that nothing
will be lacking to make this school
that which ii ought to be.
Very truly and respectfully,
w. Il. j.. SULLIVAN, Prcst.
