 for the purposes of a museum, has become a pressing want. 

 Several friends of the School and of the Society have intimated that 

 they are preparing collections and objects of interest to present to

 classified and arranged, and the real advantage of a museum to 

 the school in any degree realized. It is hoped that our next 

 report may record that steps have been taken to supply this want.
