To THE Board of Trustees of the Theological Seminary of THE Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Ohio. Gentlemen : Having been appointed a committee to prepare for publieation a statement of donations made to our Diocesan Institutions, tlie fol- lowing is respectfully submitted. S. A. Bronson. * To the Donors of the Theological Seminary and Kenyon College. Dear Friends : As you have generously parted with the fruits of your toil, and many of you have denied self, and abridged personal comforts to advance an institution devoted to religion and learning, which you are perhaps never to see, it is supposable that you may sometimes inquire what has been done with those gifts? Has good been effected ; is their value still preserved to bless coming ages ; or have they been unwisely wasted or lavishly squandered for the personal gratification of individuals ? Has the purpose of so frequent appeals for funds been legitimate, and to supply reasonable wants, or to rem- edy the effects of bad management ? Has the Institution arisen to any thing that promises to be a credit to its founders and a blessing to the Church? Have not the funds contributed been vastly out of proportion to the results ? The following view will, it is hoped, return aa adequate reply to these and all questions that may be asked. Most will probably find that less has been given, less lost by mistake and bad management, and that the present position of the Institution, as to appliances and * t ray request two others, the Rt. Rev. G. T. Bedell, D. D,, andPres't. Lorin Andrews, LL. D., were added to the Committee, to -vThoin the whole has been submitted for revision. fa<3ilities for instruction, and its prospect of growth and perma- nency, are better, than is supposed! A friend was asked, not long since, after viewing the buildings, making acquaintance with the officers, and visiting them at their houses, " How much had been given to these Institutions?" His answer was, more than double the actual amount. If such impressions are common, it is time they were corrected by a statement of facts. This report, however, was suggested by a desire to offer a token of gratitude to the Donors. Probably no institutions, of the im- portance and extent of these, have ever been built up by the gifts of so many, or nourished by so many praying hearts. May Heaven's richest blessings crown them all, is the prayer of him who writes this, and of the Board which he represents. The first move ever made by Episcopalians, in Ohio, to apply to Eastern Churches for aid to our Western frontier, was in a sugges- tion of Bishop Chase, in his address to the Convention of the Diocese, in 1821. After noticing the destitution of Ohio, and the hopelessness of any supply, without special effort, Bishop C. urged three points for the consideration of the Convention : 1. The formation of a Diocesan Missionary Society. 2. That an address be presented to Eastern Bishops and Churches, asking pecuniary aid. 3. The appointment of a day of fasting and prayer. In accordance with these suggestions, a Society was formed, of which the Bishop was President ; the Rev. R. Searle, Vice-Presi- dent ; Rev. Samuel Johnston, Recording Secretary ; Rev. P. Chase, Jr., Corresponding Secretary ; and B. Grardiner, Esq., Treasurer. The last Friday in August was set apart as a day of fasting and prayer, and the Rev. P. Chase, Jr., was appointed an agent to apply to Eastern Churches for aid. The result of this application was the collection of $2,911 09. This sum, for a number of years, afforded important aid in the sup- port of missionaries throughout the wide wilderness of Ohio. From this movement, and its results, two facts were ascertained by the Church in Ohio : 1. That foreign aid could be had bj asking. 2. That money to support missionaries would be of but little use unless men could be found. 31eanwhile, Bishop Chase's address to the Ohio Convention reached England. In the British Critic, for May, 1822, appeared the following notice of the Journal of the Ohio Convention, writ- ten by the Rev. Thomas Hartwell Home : " Bishop Chase traveled, in the course of the year 1820, on horse- back (which is the only way of visiting infiint settlements of that country), a distance of 1271 miles/' Other remarks followed (bring- ing the condition and wants of Ohio very fully before the British public), founded particularly upon the appeal of the Church in Ohio for missionary assistance. Bishop-Chase says : " It was these representations in the British Critic, noticed by his son in an American newspaper, and reported by him to his father, which kindled hope in their almost despairing minds, and led to a determination to visit a country where their wants in the Western wilderness were thus known and pitied." It was then determined that as money did not succeed in bringing mis- sionaries to the West, an institution of learning must be provided for their education. Accordingly, in the year 1823, the Rev. Philander Chase, Jr., wa^ appointed Agent, to visit England and apply for further aid. He was authorized to draw upon the funds of the Missionary Society of Ohio for his salary and expenses. But the health of this promis- ing young man so rapidly failed, that he was unable to proceed. Now it was that Bishop Chase himself determined to go to Eng- land ; and accordingly started, August 4, 1823. He was favored by the Hon. Henry Clay with a letter of introduction to the Bight Hon. Admiral Lord Gambiei'. These two statesmen had met as commissioners at the treaty of Ghent, in 1815, and by means of their acquaintance Bishop Chase was at once introduced to some of the most prominent and influential men in England. After the way was prepared, and the object of his visit fully understood, he pro- ceeded to execute a conditional deed of his farm at Worthington, valued by him at $5000, to trustees in England, viz : Lords Kcnyon and Gambler, the Rev. Geo. Gaskin, B. D., and Henry Hoare, Esq., as afoundation for a Theological Seminary. Upon this farm the Seminary was to be built, unless some other place should be offorcdj which the Hon. Henry Clay should esteem equally valuable. Should such a place be offered this deed was to be void. The above-named Trustees then issued the following : " Appeal in Behalf of the Dioces'^ of Ohio, ifi the Wesferjt Territory of thf: United States ; " "The Episcopal Church of the United States of America derives its origin from this country. Ten dioceses have been formed, nine of vrhieh are in the Atlantic States, east of the Allegany Mount- ains. Portions of two of these dioceses, those of Philadelphia and Viraiuia. reach across the mountains, as they are co-extensive with the respective States of Pennsylvania and Virginia ; but the diocese of Ohio is the only diocese yet formed beyond those mountains in the TTestern Territory of the States. •• The pressing want of clergymen in this diocese has led the Kt, Kev. Prelate, who has the care of its scattered parishes, to visit this country, that he may procure that aid which is necessary to preserve this infant Church from perishing, and which he had no hopes of procuring elsewhere. •' The Hon. Henry Clay. Speaker of the House of Eepresentative^ •of the United States, himself an inhabitant of the State of Ken- tucky, in the Western Territory, and perfectly acquainted with the destitute condition of that Territory, in respect of Christian minis- ters and sacred ordinances, addressed a letter to the Right Hon. Admiral Lord Gambier, requesting his lordship's assistance in pro- moting the object of Bishop Chase's visit to this country. •• Lord G-ambier having introduced the subject to some of his friends well acquainted with the constifu.tiou and proceedings of the American Episcopal Church, they entered into a full examina- tion of the claims of the Diocese of Ohio on Christian benevolence, ■and the expediency of rendering the aid requested. The result has been their full conviction that the spiritual wants of that dio- cese call for special provision and assistance, and that appropriate .and adequate provision for the supply of such wants requires the establishment of an institution on the spot, in which natives of the country may be prepared for the ministry at an expense within their reach, and in habits suited to the sphere of their labors ; and they are satisfied that this important object is not likely to be ac- complished without liberal aid from this country.'" Here the -Appeal '''' proceeds to state the grounds of their con- victions, which it is not necessary here to repeat, and in conclusion ■savs ,■ 7 " The powerful appeal which these facts make to the benevolent heart will not, as the friends of Bishop Chase are persuaded, be made in vain. Adequate aid, furnished at this juncture, will con- solidate and extend the efficiency of the American Church, by con- tributing to supply with suitable ministers that vast mass of popu- lation which is continually emigrating westward; while without such aid the Church itself, established by such a course of self- denying and unwearied toil, will dwindle and perish, and the popu lation be given up to the unmitigated consequences of a famine of the Divine ordinances." " A subscription has therefore been opened in furtherance of the object stated in this appeal. Henry Hoare, Esq., Banker, of Fleet Street, is treasurer of the fund, the proceeds of which will be vested in government securities till the same shall be drawn for by the proper authorities in the Diocese of Ohio." The evidence of the special object for which this fund was raised, is fourid in Bishop Chase's "/^/ca for the Went' He says, p. 4 : " No sooner was this appeal made to them (the English), than they met and answered it with a liberal hand. ' Take,' said they, ' our proportion in full to accomplish your great and benevolent design ] but in so doing, our wishes are appropriate and just, that what we give he regarded as a fund to he laid out in lands, or otherwise, for (he permanent henefit of this and future generations.' " The result will show that those wishes have been strictly com- plied with. The money was first laid out in land, and w^as so kept till, in the judgment of the Trustees, it would be " otherwise " more productive. Now the land has been sold, and the fund entire in- vested mainly in bond and mortgage. Subscriptions to the Ohio Theological Seminary.

Possibly, it is not. At any rate, the connnenioration of this gift, by naming the building after her — llos^ Chapel — was no wore than a jusi tribute to her Christian generosity. She gave, at the same time, anotlior £100 to aid the weak jiarishes of th;it day in building . churches. Thus far is the account published by the London Trustees, May -2, 1824. It is not to be understood, however, as being the account rendered upon their tiual settlement with Bishop Chase, as it is less than half the amount collected in England. The full account can not be found in this country. Should any friend in England fall in with it, he will confer a favor by indicating where, and how, it may be obtained, that the names of all the donors may be remembered. This loss makes Bishop Chase's accounts none the less satisfactory, as his statement, often published in this country, that the whole amount was rising 830,000 was approved, at least by the silence of the English Trustees. The names, however, of several of the other donors, will appear from the following extracts from Bishop Chase's correspondence and addresses, after bis return to this country: '• When Bishop Chase arrived in England, a train of providences prepared the way for his favorable reception, and the interesting claims of religion and learning, in Ohio, were taken hold of by men who stand highest among the examples of Christian benevolence in England. Among these were Lords Gambier, Kenyon, and Bex- ley, and k'^ir Thomas Acland, among the nobility, and Dr. Gaskin^ Mr. Pratt, Mr. Marriott, and others, some of the most distinguished of the clergy and gentry. An appeal, addressed to the British pub- lic, was prepared by the editors of the Christian Oh&erver, and Ckrit- tian Guanlidv, by several of the officers of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, and of the Church Missionary Society ; an appeal which eventuated in raising at least §30,000." — Committee of the Oh io Oni vrji lion . Most interesting letters (the originals of which, neatly bound in a volume, have lately been presented to the library of the Institu- tion by Rev. Dudley Chase) were addressed to Bishop Chase, from a daughter of the celebrated Jones, of Nayland, Admiral Lord t 15 Gambier, Lord Kenyon, the Bishop of London, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and Lord Bexley. The following is from the daughter of a highly respectable clergyman. At the time this was written she was only fourteen years of age, and so great was her interest, that by her industry she had raised nearly $35 toward the object, and says to Bishop Chase : " May I beg of you to give my affectionate love to your children, and tell them how little deserving I feel myself of their love, and of my most honorable title of Mary Ohio. I wish it were in my power to prove myself better entitled to one and the other ; but I believe I shall easily gain credence when I say, that to repay to Ohio one iota of those blessings which I have received from her, would be a real happiness to me. ^ * I will thank you for your great kindness to me, who can only wish you well, and can plead your cause in no other way than by sometimes whispering, ' there is a rose in the West, whose head is drooping for want of watering, and her stem bending for want of propping.' " One of the contributors that should by no means be forgotten, was Mrs. Hannah More, who took a deep interest in Bishop Chase's plans, and herself subscribed £50. Bishop Chase, in his address to the Convention in 1824, says of the English people, in reference to the Ohio Seminary : " Never was benevolence more disinterested ; never was zeal more active. The task of solicitation being assumed by the most respectable characters, the rich feasts of intellectual intercourse and Christian courteousness were every-where spread before me." One occurrence, or rather series of occurrences, seems stranger than fiction. One day, long before Bishop Chase thought of ever going to England, having been at work on his farm at Worthing- ton, at the close of the day he penned a letter to Dr. Jarvis, in an- swer to one of inquiry respecting the condition of the Church in the West. This letter became a little stained with blood from a crack in the Bishop's hand, for which he apologized, by saying he had just come in from work. Dr. Jarvis, in answer to inquiries from one of the Scottish Bishops respecting the condition of the Church in this country, sent Bishop Cliase's letter just as he had received it. The daughter of this Bishop (DuflF. McFarlane) was then in England, at the death-bed of John Bowdlcr, Esq., when she received a letter from her father, inclosing that sent by Dr. Jarvis, 16 from Bishop Chase. She read the letter to the dying man, and was directed by him to take from his drawer a purse containing ten guineas, and by the first convenient opportunity send it to Bishop Chase. When in after years Bishop Chase was in England, Duff. McFarlane invited him to breakfast one morning, after which she astonished him by showing him his own letter to Dr. Jarvis, and handing over the ten guineas. Bishop Chase, being on an agency for the Church, refused to receive any private gifts, and appropriated it for the purchase of communion plate for Rosse Chapel, which was afterward con- sumed in Bishop Chase's house in Michigan. By the contributions of some friends a set of plate for the ad- ministration of the communion in private was also purchased for the use of the Bishop of Ohio. In 1825, Bishop C. says : " with respect to our affairs in England, it becomes my duty to state that, besides the permanent fund, now rising five thousand guineas, there remained, at the last advices, a large collection of books still in London, given by different most benevolent individuals ; also, the stereotype plates for our Prayer- Book, and a separate fund for a most complete set of printing types, to carry into effect an essential part of our plan. Of the books given in England, already arrived in America, some, together with 112 pairs of blankets, a large pair of globes (given by Miss Ann Rust), and a set of mathematical instruments, are on the way from New York hither. In 1826, mention is made in Bishop Chase's address as follows : " It will be remembered that this complete and ample set of type, together with £100 sterling, to purchase a printing press in this country, is the avails of a most munificent subscription, separate from that of the fund, which subscription was originated and circu- lated among the ladies of the nobility of England by that most ex- cellent person, Lady Acland, of Devonshire. ^ ^ I am happy to add that, by a letter received yesterday from my worthy and most esteemed friend, Gr. W. Marriott, Esq., of London, it appears that this fountain of benevolence is not yet dried up. In his letter dated March 5th, he observes, 'there is a surplus of £50 from the printing press subscription. This Sir Thomas Acland begs me to dispose of.' " Intelligence had also been received that an organ for the chapel 17 had been completed, and five hundred and forty-six volumes added to the library. In 1827, it is further stated : " In England, too, the fountain is by no means exhausted. A box of books, worth several hundred dollars — including Walton's Polj^glot Bible, and many of the Fathers and standard books- — was sent us during the last winter, as the gift of the Eight Hon. Lord Kenyon and the Rev. Dr. Ward, of Great Horenly ; and I am lately informed that Mrs. Walker, daughter of the late excellent William Jones, of Nayland, has caused to be prepared, in London, a most valuable telescope for the use of the students of Kenyon College." In 1830, appears Bishop Chase's final notice of the English benefactions, as follows : " A plain statement of facts which have taken place since the Rev. Mr. West went to England, if I recol- lect aright, is this : I received from Lord Kenyon, to be considered as the legacy of his daughter, the late Hon. Margaret Langham, £500 ; also, in a draft from Thomas Bates, Esq., £100 ; also, from G. W. Marriott, Esq., of London, as the avails of Mr. West's col- lection, £400— making in all £1,000." Such are the pleasing evidences of the kind interest which the English Church took in the founding of the Theological Seminary of the Diocese of Ohio, and Kenyon College. Efforts made for the Seminary and College in the United States, by Bishop Chase. It will be proper next, to consider the efforts made by Bishop Chase, in behalf of these institutions, in his own country. His first step, after returning from England, was to fix upon a site for the Seminary and College. His conditional deed of donation left him at liberty to seek another location, if Henry Clay should approve. Mrs. Betsey Reed, of Putnam, 0., had made a liberal offer of 1,000 acres of land on Elm Creek, twelve miles north of Columbus. This was first adopted, and something was done toward a beginning upon it. Meanwhile Bishop Chase had his attention called, by Daniel S. Norton, P]sq., and Henry B. Curtis, Esq., of Mount Vernon, to a tract of land, 8,000 acres, in Knox county, lying five miles east of the 18 county-seat. The land was ovrned by William Hogg, Esq., of Brownsville. Penn., and appeared to Bishop C. so well adapted to his purpose, that he immediately made a contract for it at S3 per acre, subject to the approval of the Trustees and Henry Clay. After mature deliberation, it was decided to approve the purchase, and locate the Seminary where it now is. 3Ir. Hogg generously con- sented to donate one-fourth of the price of the land, S6.000, and upon the receipt of $18,000, conveyed the title to the Trustees of the Theological Seminary of the Diocese of Ohio. Then com- menced the struggles which have resulted in the establishment of the present institutions — the Theological Seminary of the Diocese of Ohio, and Kenyon College. The following is an extract from an •• Appeal in helialf of Re- ligion and Learning in Ohio.''' published by Bishop Chase, and dated Xov. 21, 1826. After noticing the results of his appeal to English friends, he says : '•TTith a heart deeply penetrated by grateful emotions for such unexampled benevolence from a foreign fountain, the undersigned would turn with reasonable confidence, and with great respect, to his own countrymen; and while he does so, he offers an anxious prayer to God, that he may find favor in their sight. ■' He earnestly desires them to consider, that the steps taken by the undersigned have been approved by the Christian world, and by his own community in Ohio in particular : that the Convention of Ohio having framed a constitution, and appointed trustees of the intended institution in conformity to acknowledged principles, the civil legislature has established the same as a corporate body ; that a tract of land of great intrinsic worth, especially as a future sure and increasing revenue to the College, has been purchased at a very reduced price, and the Seminary and College permanently fixed thereon ; and that for the payment of this land, consisting of 8,000 acres, the funds collected in England have, in a good measure, been pledged. ''The result of all this is the imperious necesaity of o'htaining means to erect the requisite buildings. That this necessity may appear undisputed, let the greatness of the undertaking, and the smallness of the means hitherto obtained, (however munificent in themselves,) be compared, and how conspicuous will be the dis- parity ! What college was ever reared with only $30,000 ? If we 19 saw our building now erected, and if the funds obtained in England were noiv at interest, the whole would constitute but a beginning — but the foundation of so great a work. What, then, must be the solicitude of every true Christian and lover of his country, for th« fate of this benevolent work, when he is told that the buildings are scarcely commenced^ and the funds, according to the designs of the donors, are invested more fov permanent than for present use? Was it unreasonable, when the undersigned stipulated with the benefac- tors in England, that if they would contribute toward the perma- nent fund, his own country, America^ would furnish means for the buildings? . To refuse such a condition, would have been a stain on his native land. The honor, therefore, of the American name, unites with the goodness of the cause, in sustaining the fervent hope and humble trust that this stipulation will be fulfilled. The Ohio Seminary will succeed. Americans will do something to erect the buildings, when their religious brethren in England have done so much for its permanent support. -^ >'f •:^ ^ €rod save our country from ignorance and sin, through Jesus Christ Gur Lord. Philander Chase." " P. S. Such benevolent persons as find it in their hearts to contribute, are requested to send their benefactions to either of the following gentlemen : Leonard Kip, Esq., President of the North River Bank. William Jones, Esq., Philadelphia. Com. Tingey, Washington, Joseph McNeil, Esq., New Orleans. Charles Sigourney, Esq., Hartford. E. A. Newton, Esq., Boston.'' To the above appeal there was, as will hereafter appear, a gener- 'Ous response. This p?ca was made in 1826. In 1828, we find Bishop Chase •entreating Congress for a grant of a township of land. In this he was disappointed. A bill passed the Senate, but in the House was crowded out by a press of business. Though foiled in this, he did wot despair. In trying times Bishop Chase was never without an expedient. When there was no opposition nor difficulty, he might be at a loss what to do, and how to expend his mighty energies ; but when wind and current were against him, he commonly found in them the very elements of success. 20 At this time he published his ^^ Star in the West; or, Kenyon College in the Year of our Lord, 1828." After giving a history of his application to Congress and its fail- ure, and recounting the pressing necessities of the College, Bishop Chase says: A sniall sum only is ashed of every friend of every name and class. ^ ^ Whoever reads this is, therefore, most respect- fully and earnestly entreated to send one dollar in aid of the present struggles of Kenyon College." What the precise efifcct of this plea was, it is impossible novf to say. It is said that the dol- lars came to Gambler as leaves fall in Autumn, but there is no distinction made in the account rendered, between the results of this and of the former appeal. In the year 1829, Bishop Chase rendered the following account of all the donations he had received in this country; and as at the close he appeals to the donors themselves, to inform him if any thing was omitted, and then published it to the world, it affords the best evidence the case admits of, that all the funds contributed were accounted for : Subscribers to Kenyon College sn Ohio, in what pai1>.

While the preceding collections were in progress, another import- ant object was accomplished, mainly in New York and Brooklyn : viz., to provide for a five year's Professorship in the Theological Seminary. It was by this means that, in connection with the Mil- nor Professorship, the organization of the Theological Seminary was first completed. Till now the Rev. Dr. Sparrow, sustained in part by the Milnor Professorship, devoted his time mainly to aca- demical instruction. In 1833, however, classes were organized in the Seminary, and regular recitations begun. The Rev. Dr. Spar- row being Milnor Professor of Systematic Divinity, and the Rev. Dr. Muenscher Professor of Biblical Literature. The following is from the subscription list, on which $1,220 is marked paid : BROOKLYN. Chew, Thomas J $40 Clarke, Mrs. J.

At Bishop Chase's settlement with the Trustees, in 1829, the sum of S3, 037 was found to be due to him. Of this sum he gave 82,000 to the Institution, 81,000 of which was on condition that it be applied toward building a house for the Bishop of the Diocese, upon a site to be designated by himself. The site was not designated, and the building not erected. Upon the consecration of Bishop McIlvaiDe, an unsuccessful effort was made in the diocese to raise funds for this purpose, and although only the following sums were obtained, a house was erected for the Bishop, by the Institution : H.

It is well known that buildings commonly cost more than is an- ticipated. So it was at Grambier. When the buildings were com- pleted, for which funds had been solicited in 1833, there was a debt of some $16,000, and there seemed no way to meet it, unless the Church in Ohio could be persuaded to do its share of the work. This, the Trustees determined to attempt. The Bev. Dr. Sparrow was requested to undertake the agency; and, considering the pe- cuniary depression of the times, and the partial application made, the effort was successful. The whole sum subscribed was 87.348 82, of which 8605 25 was cash, and the balance in notes of hand, which have been paid only in part, and some after years of delay. The names of those prompt men who paid cash are not now to be found. The following is an account of the notes, so far as they appear to have been paid : Adams, Daniel, $100 Andrews, J.

In the year 1835, Bishop Mcllvaine made a visit to England; and, as was quite natural when there, sought the society of those clergy of the English Church with whom he more particularly sympathized. It was the practice, at that time, of some of the Lon- don clergy, to the number of about one hundred, to meet statedly at Islington, for the purpose of clerical conference and communion, and for social prayer. E,ev. Daniel Wilson, then recently made Bishop of Calcutta, and the Bev. Thomas Hartwell Home, were among the number. To this meeting Bishop Mcllvaine was invited; and when there, was asked to give an account of the condition and prospects of religion in his own country and Diocese. In doing so, our Bishop spoke of the " vastly greater increase of population than of clergy ; and how many of the inhabitants of those destitute regions are emigrants from Eng- land, accustomed once to the green pastures of our parent Church." After alluding to the tide of immigration by which this wonderful growth has been effected, as still flowing and still swelling, and stating that such is the extent of new land to be occupied, and such 44 the fertility of the soil in general, that population may continue for a long time to flow on at its present ratio of increase, without a check from deficiency of room, or of maintenance. He urg^d it as an interesting and affecting consideration to Christians of Great Britain, that a very large part of this living stream is directly from among themselves. " Not only is the Popery of those regions transplanted, in a great measure, by settlers from the United King- dom, but among the hundreds of thousands for whom the ministry is to be supplied, ^ * Protestant Englishmen and Protestant Irishmen, with their families, are every-where seen, sometimes in colonies almost by themselves, at other times mixed up with people from other countries ; but every-where entreating him most earnestly to send them the ministry, with the ordinances to which they were once accustomed." This was listened to by the assembled clergy with profound attention. Then the Lord Bishop of Calcutta asked our Bishop what he would have them do, or rather what they could do for him and his Diocese? Though our Bishop had not intended to appeal to the liberality of the British public, yet when thus generously pressed, he suggested the need of a building expressly for theological stu- dents. Accordingly, a plan, with minute working drafts and a papier mache model, was gotten up by Mr. Henry Roberts, a London Archi- tect ; after which plan Baxley Hall has been erected at Gambier, with funds obtained chiefly in England; a building, the beauty of which has not been surpassed by any of like dimensions in Ohio.

N. B. — The name of the one through whom a donation is made, is not in all cases put down, and small sums, anonymous, have, in some cases, been grouped ■together. The reader will notice with pleasure how much of the collecting for benevolent objects is done in England by voluntary agents, occupying prominent positions in society. In addition to the above, Bishop Mcllvaine, in his address to tho Convention, in 1835, mentioned the receipt of 1,902 volumes for 4 50 the Library, from friends in England. The veneraBle Mrs. Has-- nah More, at the close of life, remembered Ohio, and bequeathed to- Sir Thomas Acland £200, in trust for its Bishop ; the particular object to be designated by her executor. It was designated as the* foundation for a scholarship in the Theological Seminary, the inter- est being always applicable to the support of a student in that^ department. This visit of Bishop McIIvaine resulted in the following pleasing interchange of sentiment between the members of the English Uni- versities and those of our own Seminary and College : To THE Right Reverend Charles P. McIlyaine, D. D., Bishop of Ohio,. AND PkESIDKNT OF KeNYON CoELESE, IN THE UNITED StATES 01 AMERICA. Eight Eevej-end Sir — The undersigned, Bachelors and Undergraduates of the University of Oxford, have learned with cordial sympathy the objects' of your mission to this country. Ourselves participators in the blessings of an University, founded by the liberality and piety &f our common ancestors, we can not but take a deep interest in the progress of an institution which, under circumstances of greater difficulty, is entering in a distant land on the same course of religious- and useful learning. Nor is it forgotten by us, that Kenyon College, no less than our own vener- able University, is intimately connected with the Protestant Episcopal Church. We rejoice to know, that its religious instruction is superintended by a Brancb of the Church of Christ, which we esteem it a privilege to greet as the daugh- ter of our Apostolical Establishment. And we reflect with the kindest feel- ings of Christian fellowship, that in one faith, one language, and one form of expression, our brother Students in Ohio and ourselves daily warship the God of our Fathers. With such sentiments we are anxious to offer to you, sir, and the members of Kenyon College, the assurance of a sympathy, which we trust will not be unacceptable to them, by contributing toward the erection of the proposed Theological College. In requesting you to be the channel through which we may convey these- feelings, we desire to join with them an expression of the regret and esteem with which we regard your own character as a Theologian and a Christian Bishop. Earnestly do we pray, that it may please God to give you a prosper- ous journey to your native land; and long to preserve the blessings of youf oversight to His Church, where amid the increasing labors of your Diocese, and the arduous struggle that is prepared for the Members of the College over which you preside, we venture to hope that You and They will sometimes 51 remember with pleasure, that "we have wished you good luck, ye that are of the House of the Lord." We have the honor to remain, Right Reverend Sir, with every sentiment of esteem and respect, your attached and faithful Servants. Signed, GEORGE TREVOR, *S'. 0. L. Magdalen Hall, J. E.

Trinity College, Cambridge, May 25, 1835. My Dear Friend — On your leaving England to return to your arduous duties in Ohio, there are many here who wish to express to you the deep interest they feel in your welfare, and in the prosperity of your College and Diocese. We desire particularly to cherish the feelings of our entire oneness with those churches in the United States, which the Lord has intrusted to your oversight; and we would assure them, through you, of our affectionate sym- pathy and regard. We are attached to them, not merely as Christians who love and serve the same Lord and Saviour; but as Brethren, descended from the same ancestors, who speak the same language, adopt the same articles and ritual, and acknowledge the same orders. We thank God, also, for his abundant mercy vouchsafed to them of late in the OTitpouving of Plis Holy Spirit; for the revival among them of sound and fervent piety ; and for their zealous and devoted efforts in the cause of missions. We earnestly pray that these great blessings may long be experienced bj them ; and that stimulated by their example, and seeking in the same spirit, we may ourselves in due season be visited by the same mercies — that our col- leges may become seminaries at once of sound learning and religious educa- tion; and that our beloved Church may be yet, more than ever, a blessing and a praise in our land. Retaining as we do the most affectionate remembrance of your late visit to our University, and accompanying you with our best wishes in all your labors for the Lord, we can not but request your prayers in i-eturn, that the Lord of the Harvest may bless the good seed which He permitted you to sow here; and that m«ny laborers may be sent out from the midst of us into the wide harvest of the world. Thus may our respective countries be one in blessings — in labors — and in love, — and animated, henceforth, with the only rivalry of holy zeal for the glory of our common Lord, may we provoke one another to love and to good works, and put forth our united energies to the spreading of the knowledge of the Redeemer's love. Believe me, my dear friend, ever yours*, very affectionately in Christian bonds, WILLIAM CARUS. To the Right Rev. Bi*. McIlvaink. 52 We beg to express io Bishop Mcllvaine our concurrence in the sentiments of the foregoing letter. Signed, C. SIMEON, M. A., of King's College, CHARLES TERRY. M. A., Fellow and Assistant Tutor of Trinity College, And eighty-seven others, Members and Undergraduates of thirteen different Colleges. The following is tlie answer of tlie Students of Kenyon Col- lege to the Uniyersity of Oxford — that to Cambridge being to the same effect. To Messes. George Trevor, J. E. Giles, ajjd Others, Bachelors and Undergraduates of the Uniyersity of Oxford. Gentlemen — The undersigned, Students in Theology, and Undergraduates of Kenyon College, have received through our President, the Rt. Rev. Bp. Mcllvaine, the expression of your affectionate dispositions toward us, and the Institutions of ■which we are members. Rightly have you judged that such a token of your sympathy would not be unacceptable. Standing as we do, almost on the western limit of civilization in North America, -it would be strange indeed did we not receive with the most kindlj feelings a salutation so fraternal, sent across the broad AtlantiCj from the Bachelors and Undergraduates of your venerable University. We bear in mind that while our Alma Mater is but of yesterday, yours is, in antiquity, second only to one other, and yields in no other particular to any ; and that while you number your thousands of fellow-students, we can not even count our hundreds. But together with this thought, your commu- nication suggests and cherishes in our hearts the hope that, in time to come, men will regard our present small beginnings, as we now look back to the state of things at Oxford, when your predecessors, in the days of Alfred, began their labors. We are led also, by your salutation, to recognize and feel the importance of our position. As Oxford, once small and feeble, has long been a blessing to the ends of the earth, why may it not be believed, that Kenyon is called to the same high destiny; and through the smiles of God upon the encour- agement and aid of our British friends, and upon our own vigorous exer- tions, will yet fulfil it. The world is before us all, as the wide and inviting field of benevolent exertion ; and it is our desire, as being one with you in origin, language, literature, and religion — having "one Lord, one faith, one "baptism " — to be one also in all the great eflbrts of Christian enterprise. And should Kenyon become, in the Providence of God, a source of blessing, in any measure, to this continent, it will be no small gratification to her sons, that multitudes from the very country which so generously helped to lay her foundations and erect her walls, VvHl be partakers in the benefit, and thus enjoy some of the privileges of learning and religion, the loss of which is so 53 keenly felt by tlie intelligent British emigrants. We are bound, also, to say, that to the exercise of such feelings we are incited, in addition to the consid- erations mentioned, by your affectionate sympathy, and that of many others, with our Rt. Rev. President, during his recent anxious mission to Great Britain. From his own lips, publicly and privately, we have heard of the many kind offices toward hisi on the part of our English brethren, and of their earnet desires for his success ; and have felt it all as if it had been per- sonal to ourselves. Allow us then, gentlemen, to conclude this note with the expression of our best wishes for your individual happiness, and with the utterance of a fervent prayer, that amid the changes which are multiplying so rapidly throughout the world, a desecrating foot may never be allowed to enter your learned retreats ; but that Oxford may ever stand unimpaired in her resources, and undiminished in her glory, the patroness of literature, and the champion of all Scriptural truth and order, uniting with her deep erudition the same spirit of brotherly kindness and charity which breathes in your communication to Kehyon College. We aiXj Gentlemen, with sincere respect, Your Friends and Brethren. The Crisis of 1842. The sum contributed in England, $12,370, after defraying the Bishop's expenses, was to be sacredly applied to the building of Bexley Hall. It afforded, therefore, no relief from an oppressive debt. The collection in Ohio, by Dr. Sparrow, was only enough to discharge pressing claims, and keep down interest for a short time. Still, had usual prosperity attended the Institution, its credit might have been sustained some time longer. But about the year 1840, several untoward events occurred. There was a gradual fall- ing off of students from the South, and from the pecuniary depres- sion of the times, and other causes, not enough presented themselves from the North and West to fill their places. Receipts from tuition were therefore very much diminished, while salaries and other expenses renuiined nearly the same as before. Some revenue had been realized from the land, of which about 1,500 acres were under improvement; but there wore so many drawbacks and losses, that in a scries of years the actual amount Was small. In 1840 a change was made with a view of realizing a profit from grazing and raising cattle and sheep. But after expensive stock 54 had been purcliased, a dry season cut off the means of keeping it, and it Tvas necessary to sell, at a great loss, to save life. There were those Avho blamed this experiment; but perhaps they vrould not have done so, if it had been attempted at a time vrhen stock was rising, instead of falling, and vrhen feed was plenty, instead of scarce. At such a time it might have cleared off the whole debt; but as it was. the profits went the wrong war. Disastrous as this attempt was, it is perhaps well that it was tried, and equallj well that it failed. As it is. the Trustees of Kenyon College, having tried in every way that appeared feasible, for twenty years, to make their farm sustain the Institution, and found it con- stantly sinking in debt, at length (some ten years since), came to the conclusion, that a religious corporation can not conduct a farm to advantage. From the operation of the above causes, the year 1S42 was the most gloomy one in the whole history of the Institution. The debt of Prime. Ward it King, then nearly S20.000. was pressing for liquidation. The land was mortgaged to secure it; and as financial affairs were then, the whole domain would scarcely more than have paid the debt. It seemed a most inauspicious time to appeal to the public for aid, but it was determined to try; this being the only resource for saving the property of the Institution. In this emergency, our good Bishop put on the harness, and girded himself for the work of begging. An appeal, called •'• An Earnest TForcf," was issued, the gtyle and purport of which, as well as the purpose for which aid was asked, may be learned from the following extract : ^' The -i.OOO acres of land making the endowment, in the center of which the build- ings stand, the rents of which are depended on for support, <^ ^ are considered worth in common times from SO to 100.000 dollars. The buildings owned by the Institution, thereupon, are estimated as worth at least 75.000 dollars. The latter, of course, are of no use for the payment of debt. They are worth nothing but for a college. We must keep them or perish. The landed endowment is all that could be used for the payment of debt. Suppose it sold ? It must all be sold to raise money enough in these times to meet the case; or. at the very best, so large a part (and that the most valuable) must be sold, as entirely to ruin the endowment.'" — An Farne&i Word, p. 4. ^ The Rev. Mr. Lounsbiiry was employed as aa agent to present 'the cause in Ohio, and he and the Eev. Mr. Clark to assist Bishop MeTlvaine at the East. The application to raise money to save the endowm^ent of th€ Theological Seminary of Ohio and Kenyon College succeeded well, as the following subscription lists will show. This successful effort 3ias rightly conferred on Bishop Mcllvaine the title of Second Founder of the Institution — a work really more trying than had ever yet been undertaken for Kenyon College.

The net result of this effort, including S130 from Ohio, was the sum of S29.516.60. After the final report of Bishop Mcllvaine, of the results of this collection, the following resolutions were passed by the Board of Trustees, being appended to a report of a committee, which concludes thus : " The widow's mite and the rich man's gift have each been cheer- . fally thrown into the treasury, and the donors have thus, we trust, 61 lent to tlie Lord that wliich lie will repay them. The Bishop's account of his stewardship is full and satisfactory. He went forth literally without money and without scrip, but his trust was in the Lord, from whom cometh every good and perfect gift. The result has been already stated, and it only remains for the committee to submit the following resolutions : "1. Eewlved. That the Board does, and will ever cherish, a most grateful recollection af the generous kindness of our eastern breth- ren and friends, who, in our hour of need, have so largely helped the great interests of Christian education in this Diocese ; and the Secretary is hereby directed to preserve and file, among the archives of the Theological Seminary at Gambler, the statement book and vouchers now communicated by the Bishop, exhibiting the sources from whence the generous aid was received, and the uses made of it. " 2. Resolved further, That our Kt .Rev. Bishop Mcllvaine has most ably and faithfully discharged the laborious and highly-import- ant trust thus devolved upon him. And this Board have heard with inexpressible pleasure, from other reliable sources at the East, that this arduous duty was performed, not only v/ith signal ability, but with a Christian spirit and aeal which, under, his Master's direc- tion, made many new friends for the vast interests under his charge. "3. Resolved further, That this Board hereby assure the Bishop that they entertain a most grateful sense of the valuable and import- ant services which he has rendered, not only to the Theological Seminary, and to the College, but to the great interests of the Church in this Diocese. And while the Bishop declines all pecu- niary remuneration, nothing having been retained therefor beyond his mere personal expenses, the Trustees do insist, and hereby most- respectfully beg him to retain and keep, for his own use, the small balance, (|207 IG,) which, as before stated, he has reported as unex- pended and subject to order, and for that purpose the Secretary is hereby directed to make out and deliver to the Bishop, in the name and behalf of this Board, the proper receipt and voucher. All which is respectfully submitted." Wm. Key Bond, Chairman. 62 TlIK Al'l'LlCATlON IN OniO RESULTED IN THE FOLLOWlXO Collections in 1S43. riNClNXATI.

Hence $3,150 of the above was a loan, and has since been accounted for, leaving the Ohio donation of 1843, $5,785.39, which, added to the sum obtained at the East, makes the whole result of the effort of 1843, $35,302; and deducting $302 for expense of collecting $8,911.39 in Ohio, leaves it $35,000. So much was obtained from a benevo- lent public to save the endowment of these Institutions. Scholarship Fund, obtained in 1850, by Rev. J. Muen- SCHER, D. D. In the year 1850, a subscription was taken up in Ohio, amount- ing to $11,924, called a " Subscription to Scholarship Fund," It was intended by this effort to found a professorship by the sale of scholarships. The condition was that the subscriber on paying $200 should receive a certificate entitling the holder to tuition in any department of the Institution. Upon this subscription was collected the sum of $5,600, and certificates therefor have been issued. This is, in effect, a loan, on which interest is payable in tuition. A few subscribers, having paid in part, compromised by surren- dering their claim to scholarships, and thus obtained a release 5 66 from payment of the balance. "What was paid, therefore, should be considered as donations. These sums are as follows : Bishop Mcllvaine $133 33 H.Matthews 30 00 S. M. Sanford 100 00 James Hall 40 00 E. T. Stirling 200 00 $503 33 Library and AppARAxrs. The Catalogue of the Theological Seminary and College, for 1860, makes the following statement respecting Libraries: The Libraries to which the students have access are as follows, viz : 1. The Library of the Seminary and College, containing 6,500 volumes. 2. That of the Philomathesian Society, containing 3,527 volumes. 3. That of the Nu Pi Kappa Society, containing 3,357 volumes. The Libraries of the Societies have been accumulated and mainly given by the students themse-ves. To name the donors would require a catalogue of a greater part of all the students that have ever been connected with the Institution. Of the donors to the Library of the Seminary it will be prac- ticable here to name only a few. Through Bishops Chase and Mcllvaine, extensive and valuable collections of books were received from England. P. G. Stuveysant, of ISTew York, besides liberal subscriptions otherwise, gave $1,000 in money to increase the library. Charles D. Betts, of New York, left, for charitable purposes, in the hands of Dr. Anthon, the sum of $1,000. This sum was given by him, the interest of which is to be applied, under ,the direction of the Faculty, to the purchase of Theological books. Rollin Sandford, Esq., and Messrs. Carter & Brothers, of N. Y., have more recently presented some eighty volumes each, of valu- able books. It will not be practicable here to name all the valuable gifts that have been made to aid the scientific departments of the College. m th addilion to the gifts received from England, already mentioned, C. L. Boalt, Esq., of Norwalk, in 1849, gave $100, and Kev. C. 0. Pinckney, of South Carolina, gave $200 to fit np a laboratory. These gifts were very opportune, and received with special thank- fulness, because they came when few were disposed to give. Since then, a choice portable cabinet of utensils for testing min- erals has been received from Rev. S. A. Bronson, and a telescope and transit instrument from Rev. Peter Neff, jr. These instruments presented to the Observatory were, an Achromatic Telescope, seven and a half inches diameter, eight and a half feet focal length, mounted equatorially, furnished with clock movement and various ^ye-pieces. It is now mounted under the revolving dome, in the tower of " Ascension Hall." Also, a Transit instrument, made by E. & a. W. Blunt, of New York. The Telescope (two inches aperture, and about two feet focal length) is a very accurate and finely-made instrument. As the above gifts are specific, and were appropriated by the donors, and are now in a shape in which their value can not be measured by money, they will not hereafter be embraced in allusion to general receipts into the treasury. A Second Crisis. From 1840 to 1850, the whole Institution was very much de- pressed. It possessed a large amount of property, but it was mainly in land. Its value was not less than $100,000, as has been proven by subsequent sales ; and though every expedient had been tried to make it productive, the most that could be realized from it was about $1,500 per annum. Of this sum, $900 per annum were re- quired to pay interest, and $500 for taxes. Bents were accruing to the Amount of about $1,200 yearly, on -dwellings owned by the Institution. But on buildings that had stood fifteen or twenty ^ears, a large part of the rents would be required iu repairs. In a financial condition so depressed, with Professors the fewest possible, and those on half pay, very tardily received, it is no won- der that students were few, and that the streams of benevolence that had so often watered Kenyon, were nearly dried up. The present writer, in asking for aid at one time, was told in effect, "You have a plenty of land, use that." I'hc hint was taken, and m the matter of a sale urged as the only possible liope of relief. This measure was first recommended by the Faculty, and then, after mature deliberation, by the Convention of Ohio ; and very soon after 1850, nearly half of the land was sold. Now a brighter day dawned upon Kenyon. The debt was paid off, credit restored, and the officers were promptly paid } so that the best talents the country afforded could now be commanded for Kenyon College. President Andrews was soon after appointed, who has no superior in ability to conduct an institution of learning^ and so to adapt it to the wants of the country, as to command and deserve an extensive patronage. Fears have sometimes been expressed, that the College is over- shadowing the Theological Seminary. But present results prove conclusively, that the life of the College and Preparatory School is the life of the Theological Seminary. Through these there ever has, and probably ever will, come the main supply of candidates for tjie ministry, and, consequently, of students for the Seminary. The interests of both are identical, and what aids one will benefit the other. From the very time of a change of the property of the Sem- inary, from an unproductive to a productive form, confidence and kind feeling toward it have been increasing. Dr. Muenscher had little difficulty in selling scholarships to the- amount of nearly $12,000. This was, doubtless, a judicious move, as it aided in bringing in students when they were most needed. The year 1851 brought another favorable token. The Rev. G-. T. Brooke, D. D., was appointed agent to solicit funds for a new Pro- fessorship. He entered upon his work, and had proceeded so far as to obtain the following donations : Rev. E. H. Canfield, D. D., New York. $100 Hon. D. K. Este, Cincinnati , 100 R. H. Marshall, Esq lOO W. W. Corcoran, Esq., Washington City 100' A lady, Frederick, Md.., „.. 100 Christ Church, Baltimore , , ,. 100 Mr. Bash, " 100 Mr. Carrol, " 25 At this point the agent was most unexpectedly arrested in Mb course, and an end was put to his further solicitations. Here was a " new thing under the sun," at least for Kenyon. In the Theo- logical Seminary at Alexandria, (a noble rival to that in Ohio, in the cause of Evangelical truth,) was a gentle and somewhat retiring young man, himself a student, by the name of Archibald Morri- son. This young man encountered the agent with a spirit which our persevering friend. Dr. Brooke, was unprepared to resist, and in a very unobtrusive way, gave the whole sum of $10,000, and thus founded the Grmoold Professorship in the Theological Seminary of the Diocese of Ohio. The impulse now given to the Seminary, of which the above was both an evidence and a cause, made it necessary to provide addi- tional rooms for Theological students. This want was met by the •effort to complete the remaining*half of Bexley Hall. The follow- i^ig list will show whence the funds for this purpose were derived : Et. Rev. C. P. Mcllvaine, D. D. D.

About the year 1S55. it became evident that increased accommo- dations would soon be needed for College students. This was deemed a just ground of applications for friendly aid from abroad. With the demand for more room, also arose a demand for an increase of Professors. To obtain such aid. and meet these demands-. Bishop Mellvaine issued the following SlATEaiNT AND APPEAL IX BzHALP OF KeXTON CoLXEGE. Bishop McIlvaixe solicits the kind attention of his friends, and all wha desire the extension of our Church in the "West, to the following respectful appeal and statement. It is in behalf of Kenyon College, situated at Gam- bier, Ohio, under Trustees appointed by tb* Convention of that Diocese, and devoted to the promotion of Christian Education, and more especially to that of candidates for the ministry, in the Episcopal Chtirch. For convenience- sake, we here speak of the College and connected Theological Seminary, both of them at Gambler, and essentially united under the same Trustees and incor- poration, under the one name of Kenyon College; because, although the cor- porate name is '-Theological Seminary of the Diocese of Ohio," the other is the name most familiar to the public. It is not tedeliver this institution from debt, that aid is now sought. Theiie. 71 is no ^ebt. But there is an unprecedented prosperity, and hence arises the present necessity. The present accommodations are so occupied with students, that there is room for only a very few more. The number of undergraduates is between one hundred and forty and one hundred and fifty. It is a remarka- ble and cheering fact, that of that number seventy-seven are communicants, forty of whom are preparing to enter, when they graduate, on theological study for the ministry, while there is reason to expect that of the remainder, many will make up their minds in the same direction. In these times of need as to laborers in God's vineyard, how encouraging and important these facts. Never before has Kenyon College been the object of so much attention, East and West, as an institution to be relied on by the members of our Church for the education of their sons. Never has there been so strong and wide a feeling, among clergy and laity, that Kenyon College, however local and dio- cesan as to its control, is national, as to its importance, and the usefulness to be expected from it, and the interest that should center upon it. In truth, the importance of that institution to the whole Church is measured only by that of having an evangelical ministry of our Church extended far and wide over all the States and Territories of the West. And hence the feeling is becoming very strong, that there is no object, connected with our duty as a Church, which should more engage the regard and liberal gifts of our people than the strengthening and enlargement of the facilities of Kenyon College, to place it on such a footing, as to adequate number of professors, accommoda- tions for students, and the various means and conveniences for instruction, in all branches, that it may fully occupy the place to which it is called in the providence of God, that it may meet, satisfy, and retain, instead of disappoint- ing and causing to react, the present incoming of public favor and expec- tation. Then, what does Kenyon College need ? We answer. Means of enlargement. In what? First. In the number of its professorships. It needs endowment for two professorships — one in the Theological Depart- ment; the other in the Undergraduate Course. It takes all the increase of income which the Trustees have been able to make, to meet the great increase which a few years have made in the cost of living, and consequently in the cost of supporting the instruction of the Institution on its old footing, as to the number of professors, etc. It has no income beyond its annual expenses. Enlargement, however demanded, is out of the question, Avithout assistance. We ask, therefore, for aid at the hands of our brethren, in the endowment of two professorships, at a salary of $1,000 each, which, at 7 per cent., requires for each the sum of $15,000. Secondly. Enlargement in buildings. Wc need an additional building for the accommodation of more students. Scarcely any increase of students can now be received, while much is now promised, and much more is confidently expected. 72 We need another building for all the public purposes of the College, con- taining a suitable chapel for daily morning and evening prayers (the present place for such a purpose being unsuitable in the extreme) ; containing, also, accommodations for a chemical laboratory, for a philosophical cabinet and lectures, and rooms for all recitations and lectures. At present these objects are provided for most inconveniently and defectively, to the great detriment of the reputation of the Institution, and contraction of its usefulness. Thirdly. Enlargement as to means of instruction. Suitable apparatus for instruction in Chemistry, in Natural Philosophy, and other departments of physical science, is absolutely needed. Fourthly. The means of providing residences for two professors. All these objects, on a moderate Estimate, will require from §65,000 to $70,000 — an amount not great compared with the magnitude and permanence of the end to be attained — not great compared with what is readily raised by our brethren of other Christian churches in this country, for the seminaries and colleges under their control. Without multiplying words, the undersigned respectfully seeks of his brethren of the laity the means of accomplishing the objects above specified. What better thing can be done for our Church extension, and our great work of thereby promoting the advancement of the Gospel, by means of the labors of an educated and faithful ministry ? What better can be done by the East for the vast outspreading of the West, and its rapid growth of popula- tion ; what better for the glory of God and the good of man ? The under- signed is the more bold to ask this aid, because in having given himself (and for many years under most heavy burdens of difficulty and anxiety,) to the same cause, he has not omitted to take a larger share of its service than he asks now of any of his brethren. Those who are so kind as to be ready to help, can transmit to the undersigned, at Cincinnati, by mail, or can make their Kector their agent for that purpose — making their own terms of pay- ment, provided that the time, as to individual subscriptions, be not over three years from date. CHAKLES P. McILVAINE, Bishop of the Diocese of Ohio. Nov. 15, 1856. This statement and appeal met with the following response : 1.

When the above subscriptions had progressed thus far, another most agreeable surprise occurred. Mr. J. D. Wolfe and "wife, and Mrs. Spencer, the sister of Mrs. W.j of West Chester, N. Y., whose names the reader of this will find oft repeated in this record, and whose venerable father, just before his decease, gave $6000 to the Bishop of Ohio, for the benefit of aged and infirm clergymen, in this diocese, unitedly founded a pro- fessorship in Kenyon College, giving, together, $16,000. This was accordingly named by the Trustees, the Lorillard & Wolfe Profes- sorship. Nearly at the same time with these expressions of good will, the benevolent John Johns, of Baltimore County, M. D., departed this life. His name, too, was often on the subscription lists for Kenyon College, and in his will, through the special good offices of the late lamented Dr. Johns, he made the generous bequest to the Institu- tion of $15,000. This came not as a result, but among the results of the "Statement and Appeal" issued November, 1856. They will, therefore, sum up as follows : Donation to St. George's Hall S 3,282 50 Ascension Hall Subscription 10,252 00 Toward a New York Professorship 6,666 00 Toward Bedell Professorship, collected 1860 4,407 00 The Lorillard & Wolfe Professorship 15,000 00 The Johns' Legacy 15,000 00 $54,607 50 All the above Professorship subscriptions are not yet collected, but enough has been realized to enable the Institution to establish two professorships, and proceed with Ascension Hall so far that we have assurances it will be completed by the Church of the Ascen- sion, N. Y. The Strong Scholarship Fund. The Eev. E. A. Strong has, by permission of the Trustees, solic- ited scholarships of §200 each, for the exclusive benefit of young 75 men studying for the ministry. The sum of $8,331 has heeni received in this way, which, when it shall reach a certain amount^ is to be regarded as a foundation for a professorship. This, and the Muenscher scholarship funds, together, amount to $13,931. These,. it is to be remembered, are not donations, but loans, on which a high interest is paid in the shape of tuition.

To this it may be said, in answer : 1. Temporary buildings and improvements, that cost, at differeut times, upwards of $17,000, have long since passed away. They have been used up for the purposes intended, and have doubtless been worth, to the Church and the world, all they cost. Much also has been expended in the repairs of buildings in the course of 30 years, that can not now be included in their present value. Should it be estimated, therefore, that $20,000 have been absorbed in this 76 way, and the statement be allowed the benefit of this deductioOj it would be but fair and just. But this is not necessary. 2. Abundant assets in real estate and vested funds remain on hand to more than equal in value every dollar that has been given to the Institution. The following statement, carefully prepared by a committee ap- pointed for the purpose, is an estimate of the present value of the property of the Board : Kenyon College ^ 35,000 00 RosseChapel 13,335 00 Bexley Hall 17,195 00 MilnorHall 7,000 00 Ascension Hall 30,450 00 Professors' Houses 17,500 00 Other Dwellings 1,500 00 Lands, valued at 73,000 00 Vested Funds, including the Milnor Fund.,. 88,000 00 $282,980 00 • Deduct Donations, 235,047 45 Balance $ 47,932 55 One person, to whom the public are especially indebted for the safe keeping and accumulation of the funds of Kenyon College, ought here to be especially noted, viz : the Rev. Dr. "Wing. Dur- ing the greater part of the time, for thirty years, in addition to the duties of a Professorship in the Seminary, he has been general and financial agent, and book-keeper. Through him, at different times, have been sold more than 7,000 acres of land, and not much less than 1100,000 have been expended in buildings under his di- rection. The management of the whole concern has, in fact, rested on his shoulders, and it is but just that in this Report the Trustees should emphatically say, " Well done, good and faithful servant." In conclusion, let it be said, in behalf of the Trustees, Officers and Students, who have, during a third of a century past, been con- nected with our Diocesan Institution at Gambler, in the name of the many souls that have here been born again, and are now rejoic- ing in Heaven : in the name of the • many churches whose pulpits have been filled with Gospel preachers from this Institution : in the 77 Bame of tlie millions yet to inhabit the valley of the Ohio, who shall look up to Kenyon as the Camhridge or Oxford of the West^ in tones of warmest thanks, may Heaven's richest blessing rest upoB every donor. Honor to the poor man, woman or child, that has given a dime, as well as the rich who have given their thousands. The donor to this Institution who has given, or shall give or be- queath, for its advancement, what Grod has blessed him with here, but which he can not carry with him, will have built a monument more durable than marble or brass, a monument that will make his name loved as well as admired. N. B. In the course of thirty years many subscription-lists have been lost, and while the amounts were carefully retained on the books, at Gambler, the names of the donors have been lost sight of. If this Statement shall fall into the hands of any who can supply any instances of this kind, the Trustees will be grateful fo^r the information. AN EXTRACT ■f ROM l^HE WESTERN EPISCOPALIAN, OCT. 4, i860. The Theological Department has sent forth ninety-one Ministers of the Gospel, during the twenty-five years since its organization. Two hundred and seventy-six young men have graduated from Kenyon Col- lege during the thirty-three .years since its foundation, of whom ninety have become Ministers of the Gospel. It may safely be said that not less than one hundred and fifty who hate been students in these Institutions, have entered the ministry. Such a work have they done for the Church, though yet in their infancy, and hereto^ fore struggling with the difficulties incident to a new enterprise in a new •country. But Kenyon College has done more than educate pious young men, who have become students in her various classes. By the blessing of God, many who commenced th«ir course of pupilage here, unconcerned about the things of eternity, have gone forth into the world faithful, devoted Christiaii men ; some to preach the Gospel of Christ in this or foreign lands ; and others to labor for the same good cause as earnest, zealous laymen. During the last six years, ninety-seven students have graduated from Kenyon College ; of these, sixty-seven were communicants ; thirty-two have entered upon the work of the ministry, er are candidates for orders, and thirty-six, by the con- Verting power of the Holy Spirit, as we trust, were brought into the Church here. During the same time, including those who have not graduated, fifty- nine students have become communicants while connected with the InstitU'- tion. At the present writing, there are one hundred and ninety-four students in all the departments of the Institution, of whom ninety-four are communi- cants, and seventy are studying with a view to the ministry in our Church. The facts presented above speak for themselves, and show that God has blessed these Institutions by the converting influences of the Holy Spirit; 79 and that He continues to own and sanctify the msans employed to develop the minds and cultivate the hearts of the youth here assembled. The young Christian here enjoys many privileges to promote the growth'of grace in his own heart, and many opportunities to labor for the cause of Christ. He is beyond the reach of many of the seductive influences of "worldly amusements and fashionable vices ; he resides in a community made up almost entirely of members of our Church ; he has the association and sympathy of about one hundred young Christians, who, like himself, are stu- dents in the Institution; he is required to attend the full Morning and Even- ing Service, and liear two evangelical sermons each Sunday in Rosse Chapel ; he is invited to unite in the Service and listen to a Lecture each Thursday evening ; on each Tuesday evening the officers and students cf the Theologi- cal Seminary hold a Social Prayer Meeting in Bexley Hall ; the officers and students of the College meet for the same purpose in Ascension Hall, and the officers and students of the Grammar School, in Milnor Hall ; and in addi- tion to these, each class in College has its own Prayer Meeting on Friday evening. k.
