Gifts to Columbia during the year ag-
gregated $1.6O5,935 The university
showed a, deficit of $63,92l for the
year.
One striking feature brought out by
the report is what President Butler
calls "the literally stupendous change
in the relations between the university
and the public which has been brought
about since the reorganization Of 1890
and the prosecution Of the policies Of
expansion and new activity then for
mulated."
This change Is amply demonstrated
by the fact that the gifts received BY
Columbia from 1854 to 1890, period
of 1876 years, did not exceed in value

Of President Low 1S90-19OD the sum
Of S., AGO, 900 was received by the instd-

Airy, Md, was found dead on a couch
few days ago, in the house of friend.
Mr.. Edward Wetzel. three miles south of

some laudanum was found nearby.
Dayhof had been arrested on last Fri
day and had furnished bail to appear
before United States Commissioner Geo.
M. Bond, in Baltimore. Postoffice In
spector Everett Partridge, who investi-
gated the case, said that while DayhofF
had been somewhat tardy in turning in
his funds, the actual shortage was less
than SIo.
Postmaster Walter R. Rudy, of Mount
Airy, under whom Dayhoff was en-
ployed, and also other witnesses who ex-
pected TO appear against the accused
were in the Postotfice Building in Balti-
more City, and were ready for the hear
