77115 FOICES TER. I I the Rev. Daniel S. Gregory, D. D., came to the presidency. In the two months of the summer vacation the present College building was erected at a cost of 51530, 000. The term opened in September with thirty-seven students in four classes, and a Faculty of seven. Three months after the resignation of President Gregory Rev. William C. Roberts, D. D., LL. D., one of the secretaries of the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions, telegraphed his acceptance of the presidency September 24, 1886, and entered upon his duties at the beginning of November. The Board of Trustees voted to raise in tive years a million dollars toward an en- dowment. Seven hundred thousand dollars of this million was secured by July I, 1889. In 1887, the College building was extended at a cost of SI0,000, and in the following year Ferry Hall was rebuilt ata cost of 365,000 In 1891, 11,530,000 was put into a hnely equipped gymnasium, and in the same year the Durand Art Building was erected at a cost of 3S6o,ooo. Along with plans for endowments and buildings has gone one for the realization of the University idea. In 1887 graduate courses were introduced, covering to-day the Fields of Philosophy, Political and Social Science, Classi-- cal Philology, French and German Philology, and Biology, and leading.in each case after three years' study to the degree of Ph. D. In the summer of 1887 the well known Rush Medical College, of Chicago, became a department of the University. In 1890 the Chicago College of Dental Surgery-then in the ninth year of its existence-became in like manner a department of the University. Of this institution Dr. Truman XV. Brophy has been Dean since its establishment, and its success is due in a large measure to his exertions. In 1889 the Chicago College of Law, which had originated two years before through the efforts of justice Bailey of the Supreme Court, and Justice Moran of the Appellate Court, became the Legal Department of the University. In March, 1892, President Roberts resigned and was succeeded for fifteen months by Acting-President James G. K. McClure, D. D. In june, 1893, John Merle Coulter, Ph. D., having received the election to the presidency, entered upon his duties, coming from the presidency of Indiana State Uni- versity. The University owns to-day and uses for school purposes fifteen build- ings at Lake Forest-valued at S350,000, on sixty-five acres of inalienable lands valued at S200,000. It owns, in addition, forty acres of salable town lots. All the lands are, by act of the Legislature, exempted from taxa- tion, except for special improvements.
