...careful investigations made by the Directors during the month of January that I now make these strictures. After the abundance of petty complaints, or rather the omnivocalism of the complainers, the results of their investigations were a surprise to the Directors themselves, and certainly make a most satisfactory showing for the present steward; who, except in the heated imagination of a rash editor, is not considered as occupying "the double position of servant of the students and creature of the President."

I think that the rents are included in the income from property, which was $218,715.30. The current year will show a large increase from the students, which will counteract the diminution of income from the depression of business...
