one matter of Importance that viii come
up for discussion will. be the endowment
of the college Wesleyan has an endow-
ment fund now of $4,000 given by Mr..
Seney, but it has been locked up for

ings. This was done with the consent of

sidered adequate TO the needs Of the col
lege. The endowment of the college has
been discussed from time to time but so
far nothing very active has been done to-

trustees now. however. that the endow-
