natural objects instead of pictures ; the result of which was from that time a rapid advance in that interesting and important department. Senior and Junior Study Rooms were opened this year, but with no marked degree of success ; and the separate study of students in their own rooms grew more and more in favor, until now it is universal, and all gen- eral study rooms for College classes are avoided, greatly to the advantage of all concerned. The President ' s house, before referred to, was begun in the summer of this year, and occupied early in the following spring, giving rooms for several more students in the College. Also the West Dale property, adjoining Swarthmore grounds, a farm of ninety-three acres, was purchased at this time for the sum of 24,000, by the liberal donations of a number of friends of the College. Of the fifteen students who graduated at the close of this year, eight took the Classical and five the Scientific course. Another call was made this year for the establishment of a permanent endowment fund to aid in the education of students in limited circum- stances. Although the small fund available at that time has since been largely increased, it is still quite insufficient to meet the pressing demands upon it, and it offers to the friends of the College one of the acceptable means of furnishing the institution with needed aid at the present time. We would remind friends again, in the words of the Managers uttered twenty years ago, and equally true to-day, that : It costs large sums of money to build and equip a college, and still larger sums to endow it in such a manner that all of its departments may be thoroughly organized, its various professorships properly filled, and that it may answer fully the highest end for which it was designed. 16
