needs of the college. Not only are we engaged
in the great work OF giving the girls OF New
York the same advantages Internationally that
fording them the same chan ,es that the girls
of much less important cities in this country
possess.
While we have nova magnificent college site,
ed, yet we must, have MONEY with whi'h to
furnish these buildings. to equip the physi al
and chemical laboratories, to Turn sh the rooms
OF the Dean. the meetinG hall. and the various
tunity for friends OF the college to furnish
money 10 equip some of these rooms.
But the great need Of Barnard College 10 an
endowment. Its annual expenses are now
about $4,000, and its income from students
rees 10 about 10000. thus leaving a large
deficit which the Treasurer is obliged to maze
up by securing gifts from the various friends
OF the cause. No educational institution ever
has lived or ever tan live without all endow-
ment. On splendid plant must have working

Ing an endowment for instruction in Barnard
College. Our plan this coming year is. to Sc
cure ten PEG olo who will endow tho following
associated with these gifts. Tho endowrents
at present needed are tho following:
