Benefactors of the University HE very recent gift of Mrs. O. -I. 'Wilson for the erection of a convocation hall recalls the many other friends of the University of Cincinnati, who, following the example of Charles McMicken, have builded everlastingly on his foundation. The bequest in 1858 of the McMicken estate to found an institution in which students should receive the benefit of a sound, thorough and practical education was soon followed by the liberal gifts of other generous spirited citizens, who have made possible its unusually rapid growth and progress. In 1872, the Cincinnati Astronomical Society transferred its property, books and instruments to the city on condition that an observatory be maintained in connection with the University. In the same year, John Kilgour contributed the grounds for an observatory and a fund for the erection of the building. Fired with a noble spirit of emulation, Julius Dexter, in the year following, made a gift towards its endowment. During the next few years, bequests were made by Samuel -I. Browne and Matthew Thoms to the General Endowment Fund. In 1895, Henry Hanna built and equipped Hanna Hall, the erection of whose companion building was made possible a few years later by the generosity of Briggs S. Cunningham. About this same time were received the gift of the library building from Asa Van VVormer, and the endowment by David Sinton for a Professorship of Economics. The building and equipment of the Technical School, transferred to the Ifniversity in 1901, were realized by gifts from James E. Mooney and members of the Board of Trustees. The Misses Mary P. and Eliza 0. Ropes gave in their wills, in 1907, a fund for the Nathaniel Ropes Foundation for the Comparative Study of Literature, while in 1912, Mrs. Floris Armstrong Sackett left a fund which has been applied to the partial endowment of a Chair of Domestic Arts. Only a year ago was announced the liberal be- quest of Francis H. Baldwin, who left in his will the residue of his estate to the General Endowment Fund of the University, without limitation or condition of anv sort. There have been many other gifts, too many for any adequate individual acknowledgment here, gifts for the building and equipment of the College of Medicine, gifts to the Library, Museum and 'Womans Building, endowments for scholarships and prizes, and for such special purposes as the support of the School of Household Arts and the Medical Clinic. and the equipment of the gymnasium and athletic field. These many generous gifts and liberal endowments show how greatly inter- ested are the people of Cincinnati in the institution which, by reason of its devo- tion to the ideals of scholarship and its co-operation with city undertakings, represents, more than any other, the spirit of civic enterprise and education.
