Finance.
An outstanding fact in regard to
the finances of the institution IRE
ported fully by the Treasurer) is
that the income of the Institute must
be substantially increased if 1t is
to give instruction of the superior
quality needed to train men and wo-
men for leadership.
But most touching and significant
of all are the contributions which
have come to the Institute from it's
graduates and its friends among the
Colored people. Out of their COM
parativC poverty they have given
much having raised $500 within a
few years for the Armstrong, tn
Frissell, and the Mary f. Mackie
endowed scholarships, and last sum-
than $4,000 for a fourth hcholarship
to bear the name OF Booker r. Wash
inston, Under the leadership of Mr.
Charles II. Williams, 90 Director of
Physical Training. the graduates and
other former students have recently
interested themselves in the proposal
Of new and modern athletic field
to be located on the Whipple Farm,
giving all needful facilities for the
various athletic sports The grad
yates with whom Mr. Williams has
been already IN correspondence have
promised about $4,000. Such gifts
from Hampton's sons and daughters
are precious and full Of meaning;
hey sprang out of deep wells OF grat-
itude and loyalty in human hearts
