58 APPENDIX. 



The late Mr. Hamilton Murray founded Murray 

 Hall; and John I. Blair, Esq., of New Jersey, has 

 endowed a professor's chair. 



Messrs. Robert Bonner, Robert L. Stewart, and 

 others, presented the magnificent 24-inch aperture 

 telescope, which now, in the hands of the re- 

 nowned astronomer, Professor Young, is doing 

 good work, and is familiarizing students with the 

 mysteries of the universe. 



Physical culture has not been neglected by the 

 Pactolian stream; and Messrs. Robert Bonner and 

 Henry G. Marquand, jointly, have erected one 

 of the most complete gymnasiums in the country. 



Thus our Alma Mater is strengthened and 

 adorned. Let her children, however, not forget 

 that her great present need is scholarships, which 

 are essential to her full development; and that 

 even $100,000 would render an immense service in 

 this most important department.
