Prof. LeRoy C. Cooley, chairman of the board of 
trustees, submitted the following annual report : 
Vassar Brothers Institute: The board of trustees, 
complying with a requirement of the by-laws of the In- 
stitute, beg leave to make the following statements in 
regard to the condition of the property of the Institute. 
All necessary repairs have been made during the year 
and the building and grounds are in good order. 
Large additions have been made to the Library by the 
receipt of all our current exchanges and by the purchase 
of useful and standard scientific works. A careful index 
of the entire library is being made which, by facilitating 
research, will greatly increase the value of the collection. 
The museum has been enriched by the addition of a 
large number of specimens. The herbarium which, 
hitherto, has been in much confusion has been carefully 
examined, its specimens identified and properly labelled 
and the whole collection put into good working order. 
Two new wall cases have been provided for the display 
and protection of the herbarium: the floor cases have 
been repainted and the room otherwise improved. 
The report of the treasurer will show the good condi- 
tion of the Institute funds. 
Very respectfully reported, 
LE Roy C. Coo.ry, 
PoUGHKEEPSIE, May 7, 1889. Chairman.
