202 TRANSACTIONS OF THE 



union is the more obvious when it is remembered that the last Act does, 

 not allow any of the fund created by it to be used in buildings. The 

 former grants have provided these, and a skeleton library and apparatus, 

 with a fund competent only to sustain a faculty inadequate to such in- 

 struction as the wants of the age and of our condition demand. But 

 all these would constitute a basis on which, as the funds from the recent 

 grant were realized, Colleges adapted to these wants could be built up. 



These views are now placed before the public in compliance with the 

 requests that have been made, and with the hope that they will lead 

 others to express tbeirs.
