Robert Morris, the great Revolutionary financier, gave 51,8751 that NVm. Patterson, father of Madame Bonaparte, helped out with several hundred dollars, and that Chevalier-de-la-Luzerne, the French Ambassador, added S200 more in specie. Of course, you know that john Dickinson gave two large plantations, one of zoo acres in Cumberland County and another of goo acres in Adams County, as well as 1,500 volumes from his private library, a gift which was at that time considered almost priceless in value. Speaking of the national interest in the college, who knows that the plans of Old West were submitted to Latrobe, the Government architect in Washington? And that at his suggestion the entry was thrown to the north, the door in the east end not being in the building as originally constructed, but enlarged from a window in 1834 at Dr. Durbin's suggestion? By weighing carefully these facts one can realize how very old Dickinson really is. At the time of her founding the University of Pennsylvania was the only other institution of the kind in the State. Her first Board of Trustees under the act of incorporation was composed of forty members and embraced many men of the highest prominence in the State. . As to some of the other buildings, we must not forget to mention East College, the large structure within whose walls so much of the work on this book has been done. Iiast is a good example of the typical college dormitory. Unlike VVest, it has no long halls running from one end to the other, but it does have four sections, each independent and ex- clusive of the others. Of late years, the friendly rivalry between Second and Third Sections has inspired in the hearts of many a deeper love for the old building itself. First Section is acquiring greater prominence every year, while Fourth Section still remains loyal to her sisters. Directly across the street from the campus stands Denny Hall, that magnificent edifice of brown stone, which is without a superior in the country as a recitation building. Although not so old as the other members of the staff, Denny is a source of deep pride to all who feel an interest in the old college. lVithin her walls are the -spacious halls of the Union Philosophical and Belles Lettres Society, whose origin dates back almost to the founding of the college. Thus has the past dealt with Old Dickinson. The present is with us and speaks for itself. At no time in the history of the College has the love and veneration of alumni and undergraduates been at a higher pitch than now. With such support, the future cannot but be brighter, and the prestige of Old Dickinson is destined to increase with the coming years. May'she endure the strain of ages to come and continue to be a great landmark of learning. 14
