partments,  the  classification  of  the  students  as  to  numbers  in  the 
different  courses  of  instruction  and  many  items  of  interest  in  con- 
nection with  the  College  work. 
The  following  abstract  from  this  interesting  address  covers 
special  recommendations  relating  to  the  Centenary  of  the  Founding 
of  the  College : 
"Your  President  regrets  that  he  cannot  report  success  in  obtain- 
ing a  site  upon  the  Parkway  for  your  new  buildings.  The  matter, 
however,  is  in  the  hands  of  the  Park  Commission  and  he  hopes  in  the 
near  future  to  be  able  to  submit  to  them  for  their  consideration,  a 
sketch  of  the  elevation  for  your  buildings.  He  feels  confident  that 
provisions  will  be  made  in  the  very  near  future  for  the  proper  location 
of  your  College  upon  or  adjacent  to  the  Parkway. 
"In  about  a  year  we  shall  be  called  upon  to  celebrate  our  looth 
anniversary  and  it  has  been  suggested  at  a  conference  of  some  of 
your  members  that  an  anniversary  volume  be  issued  shortly  after 
the  memorial  exercises,  which  in  the  opinion  of  your  President, 
should  be  in  June,  1921,  at  the  time  of  the  annual  commencement. 
In  addition  to  the  report  of  the  exercises,  it  is  thought  that  a  com- 
plete historical  account  should  be  given  concerning  the  College  and 
its  development — including  photographs  (so  far  as  can  be  obtained) 
and  sketches  of  those  members  who  have  taken  an  active  part  in  the 
conduct  of  your  institution  from  its  origin  in  1821  to  the  Centenary. 
A  complete  list  of  the  graduates  of  the  College,  with  short  biographical 
sketches  of  all  that  it  is  possible  to  obtain  should  be  published  in  this 
volume. 
"This  work,  which  will  prove  no  small  task,  should  be  placed  in 
charge  of  a  proper  Committee,  which,  with  your  sanction,  should  be 
appointed  by  your  executive.  The  Committee  should  in  his  judg- 
ment be  a  combined  College,  Faculty  and  Alumni  Committee. 
"Your  Board  of  Trustees  have  already  placed  themselves  on 
record  as  favoring  a  certain  type  of  building  and  placed  the  prepa- 
ration of  plans  for  the  same  in  the  hands  of  a  committee. 
"Efforts  should  also  be  made  to  use  every  means  to  secure  funds 
for  the  development,  maintenance  and  endowment  of  the  institu- 
tion. No  better  work  could  be  placed  in  the  hands  of  an  active 
Alumni  Committee,  which  should  work  in  full  accord  with  the  Com- 
mittee appointed  by  the  authorization  of  your  body. 
"It  is  the  wish  of  your  Executive  that  at  this  meeting  you 
authorize  him  to  appoint  such  committees  as  in  his  judgment  and
