This amount has been expended, as
will be seen by the report Of the treas
urer, in permanent buildings, convicts,
freights, insurance, labor, tools and
machinery, travel Of trustees, teams
and teamsters, heating, electric plant,
farm, labor of students, chaplain,
salaries, land and a few other minor
matters.
The expenses of the laundry are
paid by the students for washing.
The surgeons fees maintain the mfr
mary. The board paid by the stu
dents maintains the mess hall. The
items of text books and uniforms are
paid for by the students.
The two amounts received from the
Federal Government, that is the
Hatch fund, SIS, 1000, and the Morrill,
fund, s10,50O, are required to be ex.
pended on the experiment station and
in the salaries Of teachers and appara-
tus necessary thereto.
The strain upon the resources Of
the College, by reason Of the great
demand for its privileges has been and
is still enormous. The board of trus-
tees feel that they voice the senti-
ment of the entire people of the State
when they say that this demand should
be met amply and to the fullest ex-
tent. The necessities Of the institu-
tion to this end have been considered,
and the following appropriations are
asked for with the assurance that
every dollar asked for is actually
needed and necessary to the equipment
and proper conduct Of the College. 1t
is, therefore, respectfully requested
that the General Assembly make an
appropriation of thirty-fve thousand
dollars to further develop and equip
the institution.
The convict labor heretofore fur
nished by the State has proved invalu-
able both in the construction Of build
ings and the development of the farm.
There still remains large amount Of
work on the farm to fit it for expert
mental and other purposes, which can
only be done economically by convict
labor. We therefore ask that at least
thirty-three convicts be furnished to
the College next year upon the same
terms as heretofore.
In conclusion the board desire to
assure the General Assembly and the
citizens of South Carolina that their
fixed and unalterable purpose is to
maintain the characteristic distinction
Of Clemson College, and we feel safe
in saying that in this purpose we will
be sustained by the president, mem
bers of the faculty and every official
in the College.

borhood of Fort Hill, the enrolment
