The  Committee  on  the  Sinking  Fund  made  their  Annual  Report,  of 
which  the  following  is  an  abstract  : 
"  Since  the  last  annual  meeting  of  the  College,  the  Committee  have 
paid  off  $450  balance  of  temporary  loan  for  altering  and  repairing  the 
College  Hall,  have  borrowed  $3,000  on  mortgage,  and  by  the  aid  of  that 
sum,  have  paid  off  at  par  the  irredeemable  ground  rent  on  our  property, 
amounting  to  $3,750.  This  mortgage  is  all  the  debt  of  the  College  at 
at  this  time,  instead  of  the  heavy  incumbrance  by  which  the  College  was 
embarrassed  when  this  Committee  commenced  its  labors  in  1844. 
Signed,    Samuel  F.  Troth,
