erection has been diligently prose-
cuted since that time.
To meet the expenditures we
have received $1,000 subscribed by
our generous friends. Our dis.
bursements to date have been
little ever $4,000. The balance-sheet
giving the details accompanies
this general report The contract
for the building was awarded to
David Jones, and that for the
shelving to A. w. Manlove. The
museum which is to occupy the
second floor will soon be in position.
A Baltimore, Nd, house has the
contract for furnishing the exhibit
ton cases. Altho' the disbursement
are not all made we can assure the
Board a balance rather than deficit
in our final account.
The library is intended for use,
and we believe that the artistic
characteristics of the building will
make it more useful than it would
be without them. The building
has been finished in white oak, and,
we think, gives that idea of solidity
and of staid, sober worth which
BELTS a library, and is in special
keeping with the character of the
one the building commentaries.
The magnificent memorial win
dow, costing more. than $500, has
been built and placed in position at
no expense to the college. 1t is the
tribute Prof. ,Lamar's brothers and
sisters pay his memory. twill call
the attention of students to ant, and
to the master artist-the wood
engraver, Durer. But above all II
will be daily reminder to those
of our number whose souls might
be buried in the books or in thought
lessness, that there has been a great
Resurrection Morn which may be
the symbol of our Resurrection
Morn if we will but allow it to be
so, for Christ "rose again for our
Justification" A lesson appropriate
ly laugh in Christian college!
So much for the building. Now
a word about its contents. In
accordance with the desire of the
donors the Committee has taken
measures to secure an addition to
the library itself. We issued a
circular letter and subscription
blank which we circulated widely
among the former students and TIE
Alumni of the bellege and other
friends of the institution. Many
generous responses have been
made. We trust that the different
alcoves may receive constant con.
tribution from those especially
interested in them. u
