Presbyterian Seminary
(Continued from Fourth Tage.)
The general assembly has comnit nded us to
the church for a $2U(),(IU0 endowment. This
means enly that we are officially recog
nized and persons who feel disposed to
give know that the seminary is a deserving
institution. We must still find the money
for yearly expenses until such time as we
have a sufficient endowment for our sup
port. Then we can go ahead and enlarge
our faculty and make material improve
ments. All the seminaries of the church
had suffered a decreast d attendance during
the last year and we alai have now only
thirty students, as against forty in the
past. This was only the average loss,
however, and I see no reason why now
with cur new facilities we should not move
ahead rapidly. It is our Intention as the
growth of the seminary necessitates to
build another house similar to this on ,
directly epposite at the Twentieth street
side of the campus. Later on a third can
be placed across the north end and a li
brary building at the southern extremity
of the quadrangle. The open epuces at the
sides south of the large building will be
filled wiih four professors' houses on each
side. Ycu must not expect all this f r
years to come, however. It Is not Improv
able that the first addition will he a pro
fessors' bouse."
The new building, which was dedicate 1
October 30, 1902. was begun early In th
preceding summer and was to have been
completed by the frst of September, bui
the tardy arrival of Borne of the materials
nei di d in construction delayed the work.
The plans for the building werp made by
Messrs. Fisher and Law r e, voted on and
