The Editors of the Rat Tat, and the Class of IQO3, beg to offer their congratu- lations to the Endowment Committee, and to express their great pleasure in the re- sult thus far obtained, and their interest and hope for the future. . To those not conversant with the work of this Committee, they would explain that within the past year an amount sufficient to extinguish the mortgage debt, so long resting upon the College, has been collected, and also the beginning of a per- manent Endowment Fund with which to provide for the maintenance of the College. The Alumni have shown their love for their Alma Mater, both in working for the object and in the subscriptions they have made. It is hoped that by this season, of another year we may be able to record at least an equal sum as has already been given-a further step toward the one hundred thousand with which it is hoped to develop the present good work of the College.
