Durand, the President of our Board of Trustees, is one of the prime movers in this line of progress. In addition to the Art Institute building, and to the Anne Durand Cottage at the Academy, he has bestowed happi- ness on the college women and secured a fine tribute to the memory of his mother, by his recent gift of the elegant dormitory, Lois Durand Hall g and Mrs. H. C. Durand has given a boon to suffer- ing humanity in the shape of our neat sunny hospital, Alice Home. Our new library and chapel, now nearing completion, will ever stand as monuments to the generosity of Mrs. Reid who gave them for memorials of her children, Arthur Somerville Reid, of the class of '98, and Mrs. Lily Reid Holt, a graduate of the class of '84, It was through Mrs. Reid that the Academy recitation hall became a reality, and to her good taste and beneiicence is to be ascribed the beautifully furnished Y. M. C. A. room. Recently the endowment fund has received renewed attention. Dr. D. K. Pearsons, who in 1888 -gave fIO0,000 to the College, has offered 325,000 on condition that fIO0,000 more be raised before january I, 1901. Mr. H. C. Durand immediately reduced that sum to gSSo,ooo. At this rate Lake Forest will be enabled to keep abreast with the other educational institutions of the XVest in all the various lines of development.
