 in 1867 was remodeled, repaired and painted ; the interior of the 

 original chapel building remodeled ; the original north dormitory ren- 

 ovated, and the president's house planned and built. The south 

 dormitory was rebuilt on a much larger scale, with accommodations 

 for the agricultural department, at a cost of about $33,000. To 

 President Greenough also, the college is indebted for his valuable serv- 

 ices and oversight, in the erection of this beautiful stone chapel and li- 

 brary building, constructed of stone (from a granite quarry in Pelham 

 purchased by the college in 1867), built and furnished at a'costof a
