Regarding the Funds.

The interesting report has come out that
since the accession of the present rector
of the university. Mgr. O'Connell, in April
1908. the university has not intrusted any
moneys to Mr.. Wsggaman. and the finan-
cial board of the institution has taken
charge of its investments. Since April
1903 the university has received from vari-
GUS sources $250,000, which has not been
placed in Mr. Waggaman's hands. and this
amount saving a portion which has been
spent for current expenses, is available as
endowment to produce the income required
to maintain the university.
So far as can be ascertained the indebt-
edness Of Waggaman to the university Is
$4,000. which Il believed to be amply Sc
cured.
