CONSOLIDATED FUND 

 Statement of principal and income for the last ten years 



FREER GALLERY OF ART FUND 



Early in 1906, by deed of gift, Charles L. Freer, of Detroit, gave to 

 the Institution his collection of Chinese and other oriental objects 

 of art, as well as paintings, etchings, and other works of art by 

 Wliistler, Thayer, Dewing, and other artists. Later he also gave 

 funds for the construction of a building to house the collection, and 

 finally in his will, probated November 6, 1919, he provided stock and 

 securities to the estimated value of $1,958,591.42 as an endowment 

 fund for the operation of the gallery. From the above date to the 

 present time these funds have been increased by stock dividends, 

 savings of income, etc., to a total of $5,075,976.76. In view of the 

 importance and special nature of the gift and the requirements of 

 the testator in respect to it, all Freer funds are kept separate from 

 the other funds of the Institution, and the accounting in respect to 

 them is stated separately.
