...more than $800 a year. and that $500 will cover all that is absolutely necessary. Brief accounts of the graduate department and divinity, law, medical and dental schools are subjoined, and the library, herbarium and observatory are shown to be in excellent condition. Of the summer courses, the report says that they have been serviceable to teachers and schools, and have helped to introduce into the secondary schools a rational teaching of science.
