Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fourth Annual Report of the President Schurman, 1895-96: With Appendices Containing Reports of the Dean of the General Faculty, the Dean of the School of Law, the Librarian, Etc To the Board of Trustees: The President of the University has the honor to submit the following Report for the year 1895-96. The Report covers the period from September 1, 1895, to August 31, 1896. Trustees The Board has been greatly strengthened by the increase in its membership described in the last Report. As the general policy of the University is now pretty well established, and the Executive Committee attends to all routine business, the chief function of the Board of Trustees is to augment and care for the endowments of the University. Investments are made by the Finance Committee with the co-operation of the Treasurer; and the thorough examination of the finances of the University conducted at the first meeting of the enlarged Board furnished a further demonstration of the care, wisdom, and remarkable success with which the endowments are managed. As the result of this examination was highly satisfactory to the Board, it was in the same degree complimentary to the Treasurer and to the Finance Committee, and especially to its chairman, Mr. George R. Williams, who devotes a large portion of his own time to this important service to the University. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
