The fund being exhausted and debts t still unprovided for, the 
Academy contributed from its General Fund $12,000, which being 
found still insufficient, the building was turned over to the Academy 
in 1894. The Society assumed the debts and attended to the com¬ 
pletion of the work. 
The valuable services of the Chairman of the Board, Dr. W. S. W. 
Ruschenberger, who through his untiring energy and zeal in per¬ 
forming a constant supervision of the work until his death at the 
advanced age of eighty-six years, are hereby referred to with grate¬ 
ful and affectionate remembrance.
