Preliminary Statement.

The preliminary statement follows:
The board of trustees takes this occa-
sion to thank all those who contributed
so generously in the past year for the
support of the university, and thereby
exhibited their desire to conform to the
wishes of the pope. The collections last
year amounted to over sos, 900. Out of
this amount and other contributions the
university was able to pay off it's float
ing debt, which amounted to $6S, 743, and
to pay current expenses, as well as to in
vest $4,000.
In addition to this $4,000 were con-
trfbuted by the Knights OF Columbus to
found the chair of American history. This
100000 was placed for investment in the
hands of the finance committee, which Is
composed of gentlemen who enjoy the
highest reputation for integrity and bust
ness ability. No money was placed in the
hands of Mr. Waggaman since April, 1903,
and, therefore, no part of this 800, 900 is
involved in the bankruptcy proceedings
brought against him. The trustees con-
sidered this failure and approved the
course taken by the counsel for the uni
versity in looking after it's interests We
ask for the generous cooperation Of ali
people OF the country who are interested
in the welfare of the university to do
everything In their power to assist in
building 1t up.
The annual collection for the uni
versity is set for the first Sunday in Ad-
vent which this year will be November
