hardly be overestimaeed. To those
members of the Board who have rem
dered me this valuable assistance,
whose kind words in times of discour-

1t may not be just in my province,

proper to recognize, as potent factor
In the success; which has crowned the

the splendid care of the endowment

thoroughly equipped for his work,
the college would enter upon career
of prosperity that would eclipse ali its
past history.
Respectfully submitted.
The reasons why this resignation
