 The board adopted the recommenda- tions of the finance committee as to the reports of the treasurer and vice rector, and then discussed several means for the purpose of enlarging the endowment fund and diminishing the general expendi- lures. The trust fund with their different investments were found to be in satis- factory condition.
 The treasurer reported the trust funds of the university as $S76,6S6, the permanent properties of the university aggregate $S63,8 ,879 and the assets of the university are $131, ,374, making a total of HS1,937. The total receipts during the year ments were $157569, leaving cash bal ance on hand of s2941. Of this disburse- ment, $27.000 was paid in the indebted ness of the university, reducing this Item to $205. GOO, and $40,000 was added to the endowment fund.
 The committee on organization re- ported the resignation of Dr. Charles Warren Stoddard to take effect Septem- Der 30, 1902, and thanked him for his services during the past thirteen years. A feature of today's proceedings which were secret, was the discussion of the case of Dr. Henebry who recently was dismissed from the Gaelic chair of the university and whose case attracted widespread attention.
 Gaelic Chair Retained.
 The board authorized the following statement relative to Dr. Henebry:
 At the annual meeting of the board of trustees at the Catholic University Wednesday, November 20, the most care ful consideration was given to the rela- tions of the university faculty and senate relative to Dr. Henebry's reappointment as associate professor in Gaelic.
 The board of trustees unanimously de- clined to reappoint. With equal unan- unity it declared its intention of holding sacred the trust committed to 1t by the Ancient Order of Hibernians, and yields to no body of men in It's conscientious interest in all the purposes of this en- dowment. No thought of diverting the earnings of the Ancient Order of Hi bernians chair to any other teaching than that of Gaelic has ever been or ever can be entertained. The Right Rev. Rector was instructed to make every effort to secure as possible an instructor in Gaelic who shall be engaged until such time as a regular professor may be fully equipped for the work to which he will entirely devote his time. Several ap- plications have already been made for the temporary work in this depart ment."
