and since the Board of Permanent Fund Commissioners was 

 first organized, he has been Treasurer of that Fund. The So- 

 ciety has had no more faithful friend. 



Dr. Charles A. Ring was greatly esteemed by all associat- 

 ed with him. 



Much time has been given to systematizing the business 

 affairs of the Society, giving personal oversight to all orders 

 placed for supplies or work, insisting upon a prompt rendering 

 of bills and arranging for their equally prompt payment when 

 audited by the Board of Managers and approved by the Finance 

 Committee: Our expenditures must be kept within our income 

 and our bank indebtedness for money loaned that we might 

 the earlier begin the educational work contemplated by Dr. 

 Hayes' will, should be steadily reduced each year. As you will 

 see we have paid $500.00 upon that indebtedness this spring.
