Department of Justice, Office of the Attorney-General, Washington, D. C, June 2, 1910. Sir: On April 25, 1910, the following resolntion was adopted by the House of Representatives: Whereas the bill H. E. 24316 designates the George Washington University as an institution to administer the appropriations of the Morrill acts as extended by said bill to the District of Columbia; and "Whereas statements have been made in the hearings on H. R. 12343 and in the public press regarding the use of the funds of the institution, the original Boutell bill, and in consideration of the provision made in section ten of the original charter of George Washington University, adopted February ninth, eighteen hundred and twenty-one, which, after providing that the trustees of the university shall keep accurate records of its proceedings and financial management, further provides that "the said book or journal shall at all times be open to the inspection or examination of the Attorney-General of the United States; and when required by either House of Congress it shall be the duty of said trustees to furnish information respecting their own conduct, the state of the institution, and of its finances, which shall or may be so required:" Therefore be it Resolved, That the House of Representatives hereby requests the Attorney-General of the United States to conduct a careful investigation of the financial and educational affairs of the said George Washington University, and to furnish the House with detailed report covering a period of at least the last ten years as to the receipts, invest- ments, and expenditures of the university in each of its departments; said report to be especially explicit as to the departments of engineering, architecture, veterinary medicine, and pharmacy on the following points: First, amount the university has invested in buildings in each of these departments, or number of rooms used for each department; second, detailed statement of items of equipment of each of these depart- ments; third, actual class enrollment for the past three years in each subject taught in each of these departments; fourth, salaries paid the individual professors of each of these departments, and the charges made students for laboratory fees in these departments. The only investigation which I have felt competent to conduct pur- suant to this resolution was an examination into the financial affairs of the university, as it has been uniformly held by my predecessors that the Attorney-General can not undertake to investigate and report upon questions of fact, even for the head of one of the other depart- ments of the Government (17 Op., 436; 19 Op., 465; 20 Op., 253-384; 23 Op., 231); and on several occasions my predecessors have declined to conduct investigations at the request of either House of Congress, on the ground that such investigations were bevond their power under the statutes (1 Op., 335; 6 Op., 680, 684; 14 Op., 17-178; 10 Op., 164). 3 4 GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. "^ \>,'$ EPbwever, in the act of February 9, 1821, incorporating the Colum- bian College in the District of Columbia (6 Stat., pp. 255-258), the name of which was subsequently clianged, pursuant to the authority of Congress, to "The George Washington University," it is provided in the tenth section that it shall be the duty of the board of trustees to keep certain books of account, which shall — at all times be open to the inspection or examination of the Attorney-General of the United States; and, when required by either House of Congress, it shall be the duty of the said trustees to furnish any information respecting their own conduct, the state of the institution, and of its finances which shall or may be so required. Interpreting this section to impose on me a dut}^ of investigation into the books of account and finances of the university when so requested by the House of Representatives, I. have caused an exami- nation into those matters to be undertaken by the bureau of investiga- tion of this department, and I transmit to jou herewith a preliminary report, which I will supplement when completed by a more thorough and detailed report into those financial matters. This will, however, require considerable time to complete. Upon its receipt I transmitted to the board of trustees of the university a copy of the resolution of the House, above referred to, and requested them to furnish me for the House with the detailed reports called for in the resolution. The preliminary report of the financial condition submitted here- with shows that the assets of the university, as of April 27, 1910, tak- ing the real estate at its assessed valuation for the purposes of taxation and the books and equipment at the A^aluation fixed by the trustees, and without regard to the application of such assets to particular trust funds, aggregate $801,996.41, while the total indebtedness of the uni- A^ersity to thhd parties, as of the said date, amounts to $542,310.44. There was no appropriation available to this department which would permit me to procure expert testimonj^ as to the actual market value of the real estate, and I have therefore taken in said report the valuation at which said real estate is appraised for the purposes of taxation in the District of Columbia, as above stated. The preliminary report also shows the condition of the respective endowment and trust funds and the total cash receipts and disburse- ments, from which it will appear that the expenses of the university since December 31, 1899, have exceeded its income by the sum of $458,302.48, which amount was partly provided out of the Corcoran endowment fund. The trustees of the university have furnished me, and I transmit to you herewith, a report dated May 19, 1910, accompanied by six exhibits, numbered from 1 to 6, inclusive, and an inventory and appraisement of furniture and equipment. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, yours, Geo. W. Wickersham, Attorney-GeneraL The Speaker of the House of Representatives. PRELIMOAEY EEPOET OF FmANCIAL CONDITION" OF THE GEOEGE WASHINGTON UNIVEESITY, WASHINGTON, D. C. By Nelson B. Keyser and Sherrill Smith, special bank accountants. Washington, D. C, May 17, 1910. The Attorney-General, Washington, D. C. Sir: Pursuant to your instructions, communicated through the chief of the bureau of investigation under date of April 27, 1910, we presented your letter dated April 26, 1910, to President Needham, of the George Washington University, and thereupon took possession of the books and records of the institution and began the investigation mentioned in said letter. The verification of the cash balances and the statements of assets and liabilities of the university hereinafter set out were made as of the close of business April 27, 1910. The accounts prior to the year 1903 were kept in the form of cash books, journals, and ledgers. In 1903 this system was discarded and a very complete system of ''cash sheets'' adopted. These show in detail all receipts and expenditures classified under numerous head- ings. From these sheets monthly and yearly abstracts or statements are prepared and the whole bound together at the end of each fiscal year. No other books have been kept, but the necessary supple- mental books can be prepared at any time from the information contained in these ''cash sheets." The disposition of all money received during the period covered by this report from the sale of property or securities belonging to the university or to the Corcoran or other trust funds is shown in the accounts kept. All payments appear to have been made by the proper officers in the conduct of the business of the university, and with the knowledge and consent of the trustees. In addition to the books and "cash sheets" above mentioned there are complete "record" or minute books of the trustees from 1821 to date; also minute books of the executive committee. There are also printed copies of the treasurer's annual reports covering the period from June 1, 1875, to August 31, 1909, which contain, in addition to the accounts of receipts and expenditures, schedules showing the assets of the university and its various endowment funds. In compliance with your further instructions to prepare at the earliest practicable moment a preliminary report showing the present financial condition of the institution, and dealing more particularly with the Corcoran endowment and other trust funds, including the congressional land grant, we have the honor to submit the following preliminary report: The detailed statement of the receipts and expenditures of the university in each of its departments called for by the resolution of 6 GEORGE WASHINGTON UXIVEESITY. the House of Representatives will involve considerable detail work and will be treated with in a later report. In the present report we start with the figures contained in the treasurer's annual report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1899, as a basis, and trace the various transactions involving the trust funds up to date. An inves- tigation into the origin of the various funds, which it is proposed to make later, may involve some changes in the figures given in the treasurer's report for the year ending December 31, 1899, but for the present they will be accepted as correct. As a result of our investigation, we submit the following statement of the liabilities and assets of the university as of April 27, 1910, together with a list of the assets now held in the Corcoran endowment and other trust funds: Statement of Liabilities of General Fund of George Washington University, April 27, 1910. Mortgage indebtedness |450, 000. 00 Due to banks 61, 500. 00 Unpaid bills 9, 395. 47 Salaries accrued to April 27, 1910 10, 731. 19 Accrued interest on borrowed money 10, 279. 21 Taxes for 1910 404. 57 Due to Corcoran endowment and other trust funds for money borrowed siuce December 31, 1899 $202, 014. 85 Amount due Corcoran fund December 31, 1899 40, 000. 00 — 242, 014. 85 Due to Alumni Hall fund 4, 200. 00 Proceeds of sale of lots granted by Congress $70, 872. 93 Less amount authorized by act of Congress February 28, 1839, to be used for payment of the then existing debts. . 7, 000. 00 63, 872. 93 852, 398. 22 For the purpose of preparing this report the liabilities of the uni- versity and the assets of the Corcoran endowment fund and other trust funds have been taken at the amounts stated in the treasurer's report for the year ending December 31, 1899. In order to arrive at the exact amounts of these various funds it will be necessary to trace them from their inception to the date of treasurer's report of December 31, 1899. The balance of the Corcoran fund is given in that report as $181,326.59, but it is probable that the result of a complete audit will be to increase this amount at least $10,000, with a corresponding increase of the amount due from the general fund to the Corcoran endowment fund. In addition thereto there are a number of small scholarship and prize funds which were not shown in the treasurer's report of Decem- ber 31, 1899, the investments of which had consisted largely of Chesapeake and Ohio Canal bonds, which were believed at that time to be worthless. These bonds were sold on January 4, 1904, for $3,510, and the amount realized therefrom is included in the amount $202,014.85. These funds are as follows: Elton professorship fund , now said to be J |14, 000. 00 Carried in the 1899 report as 5, 000. 00 ■ $9, 000. 00 Kendall scholarship fund, now said to be 6, 000. 00 Carried in 1899 report as 4, 875. 00 1, 125. 00 GEORGE WASHIlSrGTOISr UNIVEESITY. 7 Also the following, not shown m- the 1899 report: H. H. Carter scholarship $5, 000. 00 Farnham scholarship 1, 000. 00 Davis scholarship 1, 000. 00 M. M. Carter scholarship 1, 000. 00 Staughton prize fund - - - 250. 00 Elton prize fund 250. 00 Ruggles prize fund 500. 00 19, 125. 00 Less amount charged above for amount received from sale of Chesapeake and Ohio Canal bonds 3,510.00 15, 615. 00 The early records of the Columbian College show the following scholarship funds which are no longer carried as a liability: Walker scholarship, endowed July 19, 1824 $2, 500 Withington scholarship, endowed December 13, 1826 1, 550 12, 040. 00 The liability of the university to the building site and enlargement fund depends upon the construction placed upon the terras of the subscription. The trustees regard the subscriptions as being made one-half for ''building and site" and one-half for ''enlargement of the educational work" or general expenses. Under this construction there would be a liability to replace in the build- ing site and enlargement fund, one-half of 136,003.77, or |18, 001. 88 In the account above stated the general fund is charged with receiving the amount of subscriptions and interest $36, 003. 77 Less payments from fund for expenses 16, 042. 08 19,961.69 Therefore, if the position the trustees take is correct, the amount to be restored by the general fund as above will be reduced by the sum of. . 1, 959. 81 On the other hand, if the whole fund is to be treated as for a build- ing and site, then the general fund should restore the sum of $16,042.08 paid out of the building site and enlargement fund for expenses in addition to the amounts above found.

For the purpose of showing, in a brief summary, the proportion of receipts to expenditures for the last ten years, thereby showing the deficit in current running expenses, the following schedule is given: The present indebtedness of the university, so far as ascertained, is as follows: GEOEGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. 9 Mortgage on university and law halls and medical school and hospital, held by Fidelity Trust Co. , of Philadelphia $450, 000. 00 Indebtedness to banks for borrowed money 61, 500. 00 Unpaid bills for February, March, April 9, 395. 47 Salaries to April 27, 1910 10, 731. 19 Accrued interest on mortgage and other borrowed money 10, 279. 21 Taxes for 1910 404. 57 542, 310. 44 From this deduct total indebtedness as shown by treasurer's report, December 31, 1899 164, 652. 50 Increase in indebtedness since December 31, 1899 377, 657. 94 To which should be added amounts transferred from Corcoran endow- ment and trust funds since December 31, 1899 202, 014. 85 Amount received from sale of government lots since December 31, 1899. . 8, 533. 03 Amount transferred fi'om alumni hall fund 4, 200. 00 Amount received from sale of Cutler house (222 Third street) 14, 300. 00 Amount received from Denman estate (bequest for law school) 8, 179. 32 614, 885. 14 From this should be deducted the cost of new medical school and addition to hospital 156, 582. 66 458, 302. 48 The balance, amounting to $458,302.48, has been absorbed by the excess of expenditures over ordinary current receipts. Part of this is represented by additional equipment, but the larger portion of it was used for ordinary running expenses. Because of the intermingling of the various funds and the purchase of investments with funds belonging not only to the Corcoran endow- ment and other trust funds, but to the fund known as the building site and enlargement fund, it has been found necessary to treat all receipts and expenditures of these funds together in one statement rather than to attempt to show the proportionate ownership in different securities. The assets of the Corcoran endowment and other trust funds as shown by the treasurer's report, December 31, 1899, were as follows: Corcoran endowment fund: Mortgage note, A. M. McLachlen , $3, 000. 00 Mortgage note, Power & Peterson 10, 000. 00 Mortgage note, J. H. Lane 2, 400. 00 Old law building site 50, 000. 00 Columbian Building construction 99, 106. 30 Unimproved lots 40, 000. 00 903Mstreet 7,910.57 1719 S street 9, 118. 83 Burgdorflots 113,354.65 Less sold Mrs. Lenman 7, 000. 00 6, 354. 65 Cash on hand 97.74 227, 988. 09 Less discounts at National Metropolitan Bank 46, 661. 50 $181, 326. 59 Mary Lowell Stone scholarship fund, invested in mortgage note, J.

Company stock 400. 00 $13,000 Chesapeake and Ohio Canal bonds regarded as worthless 00, 000. 00 195, 552. 26 Included in the assets of the Corcoran endowment fund December 31, 1899, was an item "140,000, unimproved lots." These are the lots granted by Congress for the purpose of creating a professorship fund. They were carried into the Corcoran endowment fund to replace as- sets of the fund used for other piu'poses. Inasmuch as these lots are the subject of a special trust, to be separately accounted for, the real state of affairs at that time was, that the general fund was indebted to the Corcoran endowment fund in the sum of $40,000 and that amount must therefore be deducted from the above assets 40, 000. 00 Making total amount of assets held bv these funds December 31, 1899 155, 552. 26 To this must be added the following amounts received since that date for additional endowments: E. K. Cutter fund $1, 000. 00 Eleanor J. Cooper medical endowment 8, 750. 00 National Park Seminary endowment 500. 00 Dr. John Odronaux endowment 4, 792. 97 Thos. F. Walsh prize fund 300. 00 Willie E .

The borrowing from time to time from the Corcoran endowment and other trust funds to provide for the payment of current expenses has been with the knowledge and consent of the board of trustees and was continued in until May 7, 1908, at which time the finance com- mittee submitted a statement of the assets of the Corcoran fund as available to meet running expenses and setting forth that at the close of the fiscal year 1908-9 there would be a deficit of $16,540.67 "after all liquid cash and unencumbered real estate has been disposed of." A copy of this statement is attached hereto and marked "Exhibit D." Appended hereto and marked "Exhibit A" we attach a statement of the cash receipts and disbursements of the principal of the Corcoran and other trust and endowment funds from December 31, 1899, to date. Also a statement marked "Exhibit B," showing in detail transfers from the Corcoran endowment and other trust funds to the general expense account during the same period. CONGRESSIONAL LAND GRANT. In explanation of the item in the statement of liabilities "Proceeds of sale of lots granted by Congress $70,872.93, less amount authorized by act of Congress of February 28, 1839, to be used for payment of the then existing debts, $7,000; total, $63,872.93," we would state that by the act of Congress approved July 14, 1832, it is enacted as follows : That there shall be, and hereby are, granted to the Columbian College, in the District of Columbia, lots in the city of Washington, to the amount, in value, of twenty- five thousand dollars; which said lots shall be selected and valued by the commis- sioner of the public buildings, when requested by the trustees of the said college; and when the said lots shall be so selected and valued, the same shall be vested in the said corporation, in fee simple; to be by them held and disposed of in the manner following; that is to say, the said corporation, by proper and lawful act or acts, under their corporate seal, shall sell and dispose of the said lots, as soon as reasonably prac- ticable, for the best price or prices they can obtain ; and shall vest the proceeds of the same in some public stock, or in stock of some incorporated bank. 12 GEOEGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That, when the lots aforesaid shall be selected and valued as aforesaid, the said commissioner shall make retm'n of the numbers and description thereof to the clerk of the circuit com-t of the county of Washington, to be by him recorded among the records of land titles in the said county. Sec. 3. Ang be it further enacted, That the proceeds of the sales aforesaid, so to be vested, shall not be otherwise used by the said trustees than as a capital, to be by them forever hereafter kept vested as aforesaid; and the dividends or interest therefrom accruing shall, by them, be used and applied in aid of the other revenues of the said college, to the estabishment and endowment of such professorships therein as now are, or hereafter shall be, established by the said trustees; and to and for no other purpose whatever. In pursuance of this act Joseph Elgar, commissioner, selected and conveyed to the Columbian College in the District of Columbia' 180 city lots. The act of Congress approved February 28, 1839, provided as follows : That the corporation of the Columbian College be, and hereby is, authorized to sell so many of the city lots, granted to said corporation by the act to which this is supplemental, as shall be sufficient to raise the sum of seven thousand dollars, and to apply the proceeds of such sale to the payment of debts due from said corporation, anything in the act to which this is supplemental to the contrary notwithstanding. The trustees of the Columbian College thereupon began the sale of the lots, and in 1841 had disposed of more than sufficient to raise the sum of $7,000. Attached hereto and marked "Exhibit C" are extracts from the minutes of the trustees in April, 1841. Subsequently, from time to time, lots were sold until there remained of the original grant but 10 lots, which are set out in the statement of assets of the congressional professorship fund. By an examination of the records in the recorder of deeds' office from 1839 to date it has been ascertained that the total consideration for the lots sold has been the sum of $70,872.93; so that the balance, after deducting the $7,000 authorized to be used for the payment of debts by the act of 1839 should have been invested in accordance with the terms of the act of 1832. It appears, however, that the proceeds of these sales were mingled with the other funds of the institution and used from time to time for its current expenses. By an act of the legislative assembly of the District of Columbia, approved July 25, 1871, entitled "An act for the relief of the Colum- bian College in the District of Columbia, '^ it was enacted, inter alia, as follows: That the Columbian College, in the District of Columbia, chartered by and organ- ized and acting under the act of Congress approved February ninth, eighteen hundred and twenty-one, may, from the proceeds of any sale of its property, apply such sum as may be needful to pay its present indebtedness and place its libraries, buildings, and apparatus of instruction in good condition, and execute all deeds needful to quiet the title of property already sold. By an act of Congress approved March 3, 1873, the title of the Columbian College was changed to Columbian University, and it is further provided in section 2 of said act as follows: That the act for the relief of the Columbian College in the District of Columbia enacted by the legislative assembly of said District, and approved July twenty-fifth, eighteen hundred and seventy-one, be, and the same is hereby, approved and con- firmed: Provided, That neither this act nor the said act of the legislative assembly of the said District shall be so construed as to authorize the said Columbian University to sell or use the proceeds of any sale of land granted by Congress to said institution for any purpose other than that expressed in the act of incorporation and the act granting any such land or real estate, or contrary to any will, devise, or grant of any land or real estate heretofore or hereafter made, by any person or persons to said institution. GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, IS At this time the institution was selhng a number of lots which constituted a part of the then ground of the college on Capitol Hill which were the property of the college and were not part of the congressional grant. A number of the lots obtained from Congress were sold at this same time. The following extract from the records of the trustees shows the interpretation put b}^ thein upon the act of the legislative assembly of the District of Columbia and the act of Congress confirming it: r [From trustees' records, volume 3, page 354, extract from report of President Welling, March 19, 1873.} I have the satisfaction of stating that at the session of the National Congress just terminated a bill was passed lor the modification of om college charter * * * approving and confirmuig the act passed by the legislative assembly of the District, approved July 25, 1871, for the relief of the Columbian College, with a proviso that neither that act nor the act of Congress modifying our charter shall be so construed as to authorize the Columbian University to sell or use the proceeds of any sale of land granted by Congress to the College for any purpose other than expressed in the act of incorporation, and the act granting any such land or real estate, or contrary to any will, devise or grant of land or real estate heretofore or hereafter made to the institu- tion. * * * The proviso is enthely prospective in its operation and effect, and hence the sale of land and real estate already effected by virtue of the act of the legislative assembly is now confirmed and approved by act of Congress. **-=«■ CORCORAN ENDOWMENT FUND. The first steps toward the raising of this fund were taken by the board of trustees October 7, 1872, when they adopted a resolution "to increase the permanent endowment of the institution by raising the sum of $250,000." Mr. William W. Corcoran subsequently made a verbal offer to Doctor Welling, the then president of the university, to give his Trinidad farm of 99 acres as a part of the endowment. He after- wards wrote the following letter, stating the exact terms of the pro- posed gift: Washington January 11, 1873. William Stickney, Esq., Secretary and Treasurer, Trustee of the Columbian College. Dear Sir: The report of the president of the college made to the trustees on the 18th December, last, and printed for the use of the members of the corporation but not published, seems to make the following explanation necessary in order to prevent any misunderstanding touching my proposition to donate Trinidad in furtherance of my design to place the college on a higher and more permanent footing. About two months before the meeting of the 18th December I first announced to Doctor Welling my intention, in view of the previous proposition of the trustees to raise the sum of $250,000 to aid in the permanent endowment of the college and its elevation to the dignity and usefulness of a university by donating Trinidad on cer- tain conditions then expressed, to the effect that there was to be no relaxation of effort on the part of the friends of the college to obtain the $250,000 which the board of trustees and overseers had previously resolved to raise for the permanent endowment of the institution, that the principal of the donation when realized should be funded and be kept forever intact, the interest alone being applied to the support of the col- lege, and that Doctor Welling should pledge himself to remain in his present position in order that I might be assured that he would give his personal attention to the admin- istration of the trust. It was distinctly understood between Doctor Welling and myself that there was to be no relaxation (because of the promised donation) in the effort to increase the per- manent endowment of the college at the earliest possible day, and it was in this faith that I consented, at his solicitation, that Doctor Welling should publish my purpose, and it was partly in this faith that he pledged himself to remain at the head of the college. In view of these facts and considerations I have provided that if the sum of not less than $100,000 of the $250,000 proposed to be raised be obtained in cash by the college 14 GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. authorities on or before the 1st day of January, 1875, for the purpose indicated," and Doctor Welling shall remain in his present position, my purpose shall be carried out, but if the said sum of not less than $100,000 be not raised and received as aforesaid by the day named, or if Doctor Welling shall cease to be the president of the college irom any cause except death, then, in either or both of said events, the donatio"ii will fail and the property will be otherwise disposed of. These are the terms and conditions of my offer as fully understood between Doctor Welling and myself, and by him, I believe, reported to the trustees, and which I will take pleasure in carrying out. Very truly, yours, W. W. Corcoran. On April 25, 1873, the executive committee of the trustees of the university issued a "Plan of Columbian University/' in which tl^e following statement occurs: Through the munificence of W. W. Corcoran, LL. D., president of the corporation, a valuable tract of land, adjacent to the city of Washington, estimated to be worth $200,000, has been pledged to the permanent endowment of the university, provided the additional sum of $100,000 be raised for the same purpose within the period of two years from the 1st clay of January last. The principal of both these sums is to be funded and to remain forever intact. On January 23, 1875, Mr. Corcoran executed a deed for the Trinidad farm. This was held in escrow and was to be delivered when $50,000 cash was obtained from subscriptions. This amount was afterwards paid and the deed was delivered and recorded July 7, 1875. In this deed the follo'wing provisions appear: \Vhereas it is the desire of the said William W. Corcoran, to aid in the establish- ment, at the seat of government of the United States, of an institution, designed for the acquisition of knowledge in all the higher branches of learning, where the youth of the country may enjoy the most enlarged advantages of a liberal education through coming time, and with that desire and intent he is moved to make this conveyance to the said "Columbian University" in accordance with the acts of Congress here- inbefore referred to, and in part recited, to be held and disposed of, by the trustees, for the benefit of the sd. "Columbian University," in the manner hereinafter pro- vided, and in accordance with such lawful rules and regulations as now exist or that may hereafter be established by them and their successors. To have and to hold the said parcels of land, with the rights, et cetera, as aforesaid, unto the said party of the second part, and its assigns, for the use and benefit and pur- poses of the said ' ' Columbian University, " forever; but this conveyance is made in the nature of a trust, and upon this condition, to wit: That the said party of the second part, or the proper authority of the said college, or of the present Columbian Univer- sity, may, in their discretion, sell and convey said lands, or any portion thereof, in fee simple, in such a manner, at such times, and upon such terms and conditions as they, or their successors, may elect, provided that the proceeds, or purchase money, thereof, together with the sum of one hundred thousand dollars, subscribed and to be obtained from other sources, in addition to the proceeds of the sale of Trinidad, shall constitute a principal sum, to be known as the ' ' Corcoran endowment fund, ' ' and to be forever held inalienable, and not to be diminished by use for the support of said insti- tution, but that the whole amount of said principal sum shall be invested, in the dis- cretion of the trustees of said institution and according to their best judgment, and the interest thereon, or the income therefrom derived, only, shall be used for the current expenses and support of the said institution; provided always, that in case of the sale of said property, or of any portion of the same, the purchaser, or the purchasers, shall not be held responsible for the disposal of the purchase money; and this deed is to be effectual and binding in law, when accepted by the trustees of the "Columbian Uni- versity," and signed by the president thereof, and attested by the secretary under the seal of the institution. Subsequently the Trinidad property was sold for $85,000 and Mr. Corcoran, on June 11, 1886, gave a further contribution of $25,000 cash to the fund. A copy of his letter is as follows : Washington, June 11, 1886. My Dear Doctor Welling: As I have learned that an addition to the working endowment of the Columbian University would greatly promote its efficiency, and as I continue to take a deep interest in the prosperity of the institution, I take pleasure GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVEESITY. 15 in communicatino- to you, and thi'ough you to the corporation, that I will cheerfully contribute for this purpose the sum of $25,000, with the understanding that, as an addition to the present endowment the principal shall be kept perpetually intact, and, that only the annual interest thereof shall be used for the working expenses of the university. Yours, most truly, W. W. Corcoran. The balance of the fund was obtained from other subscribers. It has not been possible up to this date to trace out all the receipts and expenditures of the fund from its inception. This will be done later, but for the purpose of this report the amount of the fund as stated in the treasurer's report for December 31, 1899, is taken as a starting point, and all transactions since that date are fully set out in the schedules herein. The first impairment of the fund appears to have been in 1885. At the meeting of the corporation on March 27, 1885, Doctor Welling, "on behalf of the building committee," stated that ''while all the corporation were aware that the principal arising from the sale of Trinidad could not be used for current expenses, it was deemed advisable to borrow from this source temporaril}' the sum of S10,000, rather than mortgage the valuable property of the university." It was thereupon — Ordered, That the sum of |10,000 be temporarily borrowed from the cash payment on Trinidad, to meet the expenses incurred in the equipment of the Corcoran Scientific School; the consent of Mr. W. W. Corcoran to be obtained. It is stated in the treasurer's annual report for that year that Mr. Corcoran's consent was obtained to this borroMdng. Afterwards the university appears to have borrowed from the Corcoran endowment fund 138,434.13 and given its notes for the same. In the year 1897 it was discovered that the then treasurer, Robert H. Martin, had embezzled the sum of $25,850.81 of the funds of the insti- tution (of which $4,840 was subsequently recovered). Part of this consisted of assets of the Corcoran endowment fund. In volume 5 of the record of trustees, page 237, the following appears in the minutes of a meeting held January 29, 1887, at which President Whitman and Messrs. Greene, Mason, McKnew, Needham, Wilson, and Woodward were present : Mr. James G. Hill, architect, at the invitation of the treasurer, Mr. Woodward, pre- sented plans far a new seven-story office building on the site of the old law building, together with estimates of cost and probable income from rentals. President Whitman called attention to the fact that at the late meeting of the cor- poration certain plans and instructions were left to be carried out by the board : First, with reference to the adjustment of the Corcoran endowment and other trust funds made necessary by the defalcations of the late treasurer, Mr. Robert H. Martin. Mr. Needham offered the following resolution, which was adopted : "\"\'Tiereas some years heretofore a portion of the Corcoran endowment fund was invested in three notes aggregating 138,434.13, executed or assumed by the Columbian University and secured by trust deeds upon its property known as the 'law building' on Fifth sti-eet, and the Preparatory School building; and "Whereas it is for the best interests of the university that the floating indebtedness of the university be paid; therefore, ^^ Resolved, That the said three notes of the Columbian University aggregating $38,434.13, and heretofore carried as a part of the Corcoran endowment fund be can- celed, and the trust deeds upon the property known as the 'law building' on Fifth street, and the Preparatory School building be released of record; that said property known as the 'law building,' being lot 14 and the south half of lot 13 in square 489 in the city of Washington, District of Columbia, be, and the same is hereby, made a part and placed to the credit of the Corcoran endowment fund, free and clear of all encum- brance, at a valuation of |50,000, and that hereafter in all statements of the assets of 16 GEOEGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. said uniA-ersity said real estate last above described shall be listed as a part of the Cor- coran endowment fund at said valuation. "Resolved, That the twelve unimproved lots mentioned in schedule D of the treas- urer's report for the year ending May 31, 1897, be, and the same are hereby, made a part and placed to the credit of the Corcoran endowment fund free and clear of all encum- brances at a valuation of $40,000, and that hereafter in all statements of the assets of said university said twelve unimproved lots shall be listed as a part of the Corcoran endowment fund at said valuation. "Besolved, That |5,000 of the principal note of James J. Lampton for $9,000, dated February 9, 1895, due in five years thereafter, with the interest to accrue thereon, be transferred to the Mary M. Carter fund, appropriated by Robert H. Martin, and that hereafter only |4,000 of said principal note shall belong to and be listed in the Cor- coran endowment fund. "Resolved, That the executive committee are hereby directed to use |27,900 or as much thereof as may be necessary of the assets now listed under the Corcoran endow- ment fund and the misecellaneous investment fund, as the same matures, or can be disposed of at not less than their face value with accrued interest, to pay off the lia- bilities of the university set forth in Schedule C, of the treasurer's report for the fiscal year ending May 31, 1897." From this it would, appear that the trustees sold the old law-build- ing site on Fifth steet to the Corcoran fund for $50,000 and attempted to transfer to the Corcoran fund the balance of the lots granted by Congress at a valuation of S40,000. The Fifth street site had been offered to the Government for a post-office a short time previouslv for $35,000. The lots granted by Congress being the subject of a special trust and not applicable to the payment of debts, the effect of this arrangement was to leave the Corcoran fund impaired to the extent of $40,000. Afterwards the assets of the Corcoran fund were used to erect the Columbian Building on the Fifth street site. This was sold in 1905 for $162,500 and the proceeds used to pay notes given for the pur- chase of Van Ness Park. Van Ness Park was then sold in 1907 to the Government for $200,000 and part of the proceeds invested and the balance transferred to the general fund. Most of the investments have since been sold and the proceeds merged into the general fund and used for current expenses. BUILDING, SITE, AND ENLARGEMENT FUND. In Februar}", 1907, at the time of the sale of Van Ness Park, the trustees of the university determined to raise $400,000 for a building-site fund and received various large subscriptions and offers of donations contingent upon their selecting one of certain sites for college purposes. Prominent among the proposed sites was that known as the "Dean site.'' For the purpose of raising the $400,000 two committees were selected, and in their solicitation apparently made different repre- sentations as to the purpose of the fund, one representing that it was for a "building site," and one that it was for a "building site and enlargement of the educational work." These two committees succeeded in raising over $100,000 in sub- scriptions, of which sum $35,568.18 has been paid in in cash, classi- fied as follows: Trustees $2,085.00 Faculty 3, 635. 70 Alumm 1, 678. 00 Students 964. 98 Citizens 27, 204. 50 Total 35, 568. 18 GEORGE WASHIJSrGTOlSr UNIVERSITY. 17 The subscription cards in the possession of the treasurer, with one or two exceptions, read as follows : The George Washington University [date]. To secure the sum of four hundred thousand dollars to be applied by the trustees toward the purchase of grounds and buildings and the enlargement of the educational ■work, and in consideration of the subscription of others, I will pay to the George Washington University dollars in five equal installments. Since the signing of these cards some have refused to pay anything and some, having paid part, have refused to continue paying, for the reason that the funds were being used for general expenses. The minutes of the trustees on October 13, 1909, show: The recommendation of the president with regard to the building site and expan- sion fund, that he would accompany members of the board of trustees in calls upon the subscribers to that fund to arrange for the transference of such funds to the general expense of the university, was adopted. On March 16, 1910, at a joint meeting of the executive and finance committees (see Exhibit E), it was decided to send a letter to each subscriber (see Exhibit F) and follow the letter with a personal interview, to obtain consent to use half the fund for building site and half for current expenses. The $35,568.18 raised from subscriptions, together with the $200,000 received February 16, 1907, from the sale of Van Ness Park, was used as follows: General statement, building, site, and enlargement fund. receipts.

Dr. Richard D. Harlan was appointed on April 1, 1907, as the special representative of the university. In the printed literature 45824—10 2 18 GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. his name appears as special representative of the so-called "George Washington University Movement." It is stated that his duties are to assist the president in enlarging and developing the institution. In addition to his other work in connection with the development of the university, Doctor Harlan has secured $2,770 for the building, site, and enlargement fund, and the following subscriptions to the sustentation fund for the college of the political sciences, payable in annual installments during a period ending with 1912: Unconditional subscriptions |37, 230 Subscriptions conditioned on raising $125,000 9, 000 46, 230 Of this sum ?17.230 has been received in cash, the balance of the unconditional sub- scriptions being payable during the years 1910, 1911, and 1912. Doctor Harlan's total compensation and expenses have been paid out of the building, site, and enlargement fund, while the money raised by him, with the exception of the $2,770 above mentioned, has gone to the college of the political sciences. Since March 1, 1910, his salary has been paid out of the general-expense account, the bank balance of the building, site, and enlargement fund having been exhausted. The details of Doctor Harlan's appointment are shown in the letters, copies of which are hereto annexed marked Exhibits "G," "H," and "Ml." The miscellaneous items are for the most part of small amounts, but $689.85 was for expenses for dinner and luncheons at hotels, incident to the launching of the building- site movement. The item "1710 N street $8,500" is included with $7,500 paid from trust funds and is dealt with elsewhere in this report. Loans to general expense and investments are included in the general statement of the Corcoran and other trust funds. C. W. NEEDHAM HOUSE, 1710 N STREET. This house was purchased under the following circumstances: Doctor Needham signed an agreement with Westcott & Story on November 10, 1906, to purchase the house for $5,500 cash, subject to an existing encumbrance of $5,500. Five hundred dollars cash on account of the purchase money was paid out of the trust funds at the time of signing the agreement. President Needham reported the purchase to the board of trustees on November 14, 1906, and his action was approved. (See Exhibit M2.) The sale was perfected November 28, 1906, and the balance of $5,000 paid and title taken in the name of the treasurer as trustee for the university. Repairs and alterations to the house were made costing $9,266.46. In addition thereto there was paid for interest and taxes $250.87, furniture $487, and cash paid to Doctor Needham $495.67. A statem,ent of these expenditures is hereto attached marked "Exhibit N." The explanation of this cash payment to Doctor Needham is that he had paid sun- dry small bills for repairs "amounting to about that sum," and the am^ount was made $495.67 to make the investment stand the university exactly $16,000. This payment was made June 14, 1907. The trustees on June 5 had authorized the investment by the executive committee of $16,000 in the N street house. (See Exhibit M2.) On December 17, 1907, the president offered, in view of the ma- turity of the mortgage of $5,500, that he would take title to the house, pay off the mortgage of $5,500 out of his own funds, and ^ive the university his own note and mortgage for $16,000, payable in three years at 4 per cent. This offer was accepted by the executive committee. (See ex- tracts from records of executive committee hereto attached, marked "Exhibit O.") This arrangement was carried out; Charles Yv^. Holmes, the treas- urer, who held title as trustee, conveyed the property to Charles W. Needham, and Doctor Needham paid off the mortgage of $5,500 and gave a note properly secured by a trust deed on the property for the GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. 19 $16,000. By this action the university secured a first hen on the house for $16,000 and Doctor Needham received the equity for his $5,500. Prior to this the university held the equity subject to a first mortgage of $5,500. ADMIRAL POWELL HOUSE, 1707 I STREET. This house was devised to the university by the late Admiral Levin M. Powell by his will, to be held in perpetual trust by the university, and the net proceeds from its annual rental to be applied to the creation of free scholarships for the benefit of students pro- posing to enter the Naval Academy at Annapolis, or to embark in the service of the merchant marine. The house is rented at $150 per month and the income is carried into the general fund. (See Exhibit E, resolution of executive com- mittee.) In the statement of the liabilities of the general fund is ir eluded "due to banks $61,500" standing unsecured, but the record of the trustees shows they purposed to hold as collateral for loans not to exceed $70,000, the equity in the lots at the corner of FifteentJi and H streets, the lots at 1325 to 1335 H street, over and above the mortgage of $450,000, held by the Fidelity Trust Company of Phila- delphia, and also the lots remaining of the congressional grant and the lot remaining of the Burgdorf lots which belonged to the Corcoran endowment fund. A copy of such a resolution was delivered to each bank from whom they borrowed, and a copy of same is attached hereto and marked "Exhibit P." The early history of and the transactions relating to the various endowment funds prior to December 31, 1899, and the detailed state- ment of the receipts and expenditures of the university in its various departments, and all other matters not covered by this report, will be incorporated in our final report.

To the Board op Trustees of The George Washington University. Gentlemen: Your finance committee begs to submit the following report in con- nection with the budget for the year 1908-9, which will be presented by the presi- dent of the university. At the expiration of the present financial year, viz, August 31, 1908, we find the university's resources available for meeting running expenses, will be as follows: Mortgages, notes $20, 000. 00 Railway bonds (market value) 14, 070. 00 Total balance Corcoran fund $34, 070. 00 Unincutabered real estate of an estimated value of 48, 571. 00 Total 82, 641. 00 Less: Unpaid bills August 31, 1908 $16,384.00 Sum borrowed from building, site, and endowment fund . . 13, 501. 32 ^ 29,885.32 Net available 52, 755. 68 24 GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. The budget presented by the president and treasurer for the year 1908-9 shows a deficiency of |69, 296. 35 Leaving to be found a sum of 16, 540. 67 after all liquid cash and unincumbered real estate has been disposed of. The president's report gives tables showing past deficiencies and their causes and the basis of the calculations for the coming year. _ The president estimates an equity of $550,000 in the university's mortgaged proper- ties. It is doubtful, under the present circumstances, whether any money can be raised on these equities without selling the entire property. The condition of the univertity's finances, as shown above, is most grave and demands the earnest consideration of each and all of its trustees. Respectfully submitted. Hennen Jennings. H. C. Perkins. John Joy Edson. Exhibit E. [Joint meeting of tlie executive committee and the finance committee, board of trustees. Wednesday, March 6, 1910. Pursuant to the request of the president of the university, the executive and finance committees of the board of trustees met in the office of the president Wednesday, March 16, 1910, at 2.30 in the afternoon. There were present the president of the university, Mr. Macfarland, chairman, pre- siding; Mr. Lamer, Mr. Snow, Mr. Perkins, and Mr. Lisner, the treasurer of the uni- versity, and the secretary of the university. The president stated the purpose of the meeting to be the preparation of a letter by the executive committee which should embody the conclusions reached by the board of trustees at the meeting March 14, 1910, regarding the subscriptions to the building, site, and expansion fund. Considerable discussion arose as to the wisdom of sending such letter to the sub- scribers instead of personal interview. It was finally thought advisable to send a letter and follow it by a personal interview. On motion of Mr. Snow the following resolution was adopted : ' ^Resolved, That the secretary be directed to send a letter in the following form to all subscribers to the building, site, and expansion fund who are not connected with the university as trustees, metabers of faculty, or students, and who have not yet paid their subscriptions or who have not made subscriptions on other terms, which ought justly to be regarded as relieving these subscriptions, the secretary being authorized to vary this form of letter to suit the circumstances." The following form of letter as proposed by Mr. Snow was thereupon adopted, and it was decided that the sending out of the letters be done as quickly as possible, and extra office help was authorized for this purpose. (Copy letter. See Exhibit F.) It was suggested by Mr. Lisner that as far as possible members of the board by twos should endeavor to divide up the list of large subscribers and see them as quickly as possible, in order that if their consent be gained to the application of their sub- scriptions to current expenses that the sum so procured might be used to meet the requirements of the treasurer's office on April 1. The following resolution regarding the Powell scholarship fund proposed by Mr. Snow was then adopted: Resolved, That President Needham, Mr. Mattingly, and Mr. Snow be appointed a committee to report the facts concerning the Powell scholarship fund, and, if possible, also a plan for making some permanent arrangement concerning the use of this fund for the purposes specified by the donor, said committee to report to the executive committee, or in case the board of trustees shall meet before the executive committee, to the board of trustees. No further business appearing, the committees adjourned at 4 o'clock. H. C. Dayis, Secretary of the University. The minutes of the joint meeting of the executive committee and the finance com- mittee March 16, 1910, were read and on motion approved at a meeting of the executive committee May 10, 1910. H. C. Davis, Secretary. GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVEESITY. 25 Exhibit F. The George Washington University, Office of the Secretary, Washington, D. C, March 17, 1910. Dear Sir: By direction of the executive committee of the board of trustees I beg to call your attention to your subscription for university purposes and to the inter- pretation thereof by the board of trustees. The subscription reads as follows: "The George Washington University, (Give date). " To secure the sum of $400,000 to be applied by the trustees toward the purchase of grounds and buildings, and the enlargement of the educational work, and in con- sideration of the subscriptions of others, I will pay to the George Washington Uni- versity dollars in five equal installments, the first installment to be paid on the 1st day of July, 1907, the remaining installments payable respectively on the 1st day of July of each succeeding year until all installments are paid. Or will pay in full on . "(Signed) ." Upon this subscription you haA'e paid dollars. At a meeting of the board of trustees of the university held on Monday evening last, March 14, it was determined, after full discussion, that a just interpretation of this subscription is as follows: 1. That the subscriptions made on the above form were not conditional on the raising of $400,000 or any other definite sum. 2. That the amount paid on ,such subscriptions should be carried, one-half to the building and site fund, the principal to be kept intact and the income to accumulate until new buildings or a new site are determined upon; and that the remaining one- half should be carried to current expenses and applied to enlarge the educational work of the university. These conclusions were reached on the following grounds : 1. That, though when the subscriptions were made a particular site was under dis- cussion, it was the understanding of all concerned that other sites and other buildings than those then proposed might be finally decided upon by the trustees. 2. There were two committees, one of which was attempting to raise a fund of $200,000 for buildings and site, and the other to raise a fund of $200,000 for current expenses for the enlargement of the educational work. These two committees united their efforts and prepared the form of subscription which you signed. I am also instructed by the executive committee to say that in view of the fact that the maintenance of the university on the present standard requires a greater sum for annual current expenses than the amount of the annual receipts, it would be of great benefit to the university if you would change your present subscription so as to subscribe the same amount, ■ dollars, payable in three annual installments, to be used to meet the expected deficit for the current year and for the next two years, your present subscription of course to be canceled upon receipt of such new sub- scription. I am further instructed to say that it is expected that a member of the board of trustees or an officer of the university will call upon you in regard to this matter. Very respectfully, ■ ' \ > Secretary of the University . Exhibit G. [Copy of a copy of a letter from Chas. W. Needham to R. D. Harlan. Original copy in " Letters B.— Execu- tive committee and board of trustees, March 7, 1905, to — ," p. 287.] March 25, 1907. Dear Doctor Harlan: You have already learned something of the comprehensive plans that have been formed by the trustees and faculties and friends of the George Washington University, looking toward the early realization of the statesmanlike ideal for a great national university at the capital of the nation which was placed before the American people by George Washington himself in his last will and testa- ment. To do this we must have a new, ample, and commanding site; suitable buildings; and a munificent endowment. It has already been proved that there is among the 26 GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVEESITY. citizens of the capital sufficient public spirit to provide a splendid site for an institu- tion that is trying to show itself worthy of bearing the illustrious name of Washington. But this is far more than a local enterprise, and this leads me, on behalf of our trustees, to make a suggestion which I hope will meet with your approval; it is that you join with us in bringing to the attention of patriotic men and women throughout the land the importance of developing, at the capital of the nation, a truly, national university. Will you not join us in helping to bring such an inspiring plan to the attention of the American people? I have been glad to learn that you expect to remain in the work of education; but while sojourning temporarily in Washington could you possibly perform a greater and more far-reaching service to education than by exerting, for a time, the best efforts in your power in helping to accomplish the large ends we have in view for the George Washington University? With the valuable experience you have had in college work and the knowledge you have acquired of the educational needs of the American people, and your wide acquaintance in different parts of the country, we believe that you can be of great assistance to us. I make this suggestion the more readily because your distinguished father so many years has been connected with the law department of our university and has the success of the present movement much at heart. Hoping to hear favorably from you, I am. Sincerely yours, ■ Chas. W. Needham. Rev. RiCHARDN D. Harla, D. D. Exhibit H. [Copy of a letter written by Chas.W.Needham to Rev. R. D. Harlan, D. D.

Dear Doctor Harlan: I am pleased to inform you that at the meeting of the executive committee you were appointed to represent the university movement in soliciting funds for the university, pursuant to my former letter of appointment of March 25, and your compensation was fixed at the rate of twenty-five hundred dollars per annum, beginning April 1, 1907, together with your traveling expenses, accounts to be approved by the treasurer, and in addition sums equal to the following percentages upon moneys collected by you and paid in to the treasurer as a result of your personal canvass and efforts: Five (5) per cent upon all sums paid in up to one hundred thousand (100,000) dollars; four (4) per cent upon all sums paid in above one hundred thousand (100,000) up to one million (1,000,000) dollars, and two (2) per cent upon all sums above one million dollars; percentages at the above rates to be paid as m-oneys are received by the treasurer of the university. As you requested, this appointment is to be considered as temporary and may be concluded by either party upon reasonable and due notice. I wish to say again that it is a very great pleasure to have you associated in this work. Sincerely, yours, Chas. W. Needham. Rev. Richard D. Harlan, D. D. Exhibit Ml.

Dear Doctor Harlan: I am pleased to inform, you that at the meeting of the board of trustees Tuesday evening your letter to me, dated November 9, which I referred to the committee of which Mr. Macfarland is chairman, was favorably reported to the bodrd by the committee and the suggestions made in your letter were adopted by the board. This, therefore, modifies the present arrangement as follows: (1) Your engagement with the university to continue until August 31, 1909. (2) That if the board desires to continue your connection with the university after August 31, 1909, it will make a proposition to you on or before April 1 next. GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. 27 (3) The payments to be made you hereafter, will be on a salary basis, the salary to be fixed from time to time by the executive committee so as to cover the salary now beino- paid you and an additional amount equal to 5 per cent upon all sums paid in to the treasurer up to $100,000, 4 per cent upon all sums paid in above $100,000 up to 11,000,000, and 2 per cent upon all sums above $1,000,000, which you would have been entitled to under an arrangement stated in my letter to you of April 4, 1907. It gives me pleasure to have this matter so satisfactorily arranged, and I trust that you may soon begin to reap a large harvest from your excellent sowing. Sincerely, yoms, Chas. W. Needham.

[Extract from president's report to the board of trustees, November 14, 1906, as found in record of trustees, vol. 6, p. 295.] (a) President's house. — Owing to the increase in rents it has been exceedingly diffi- cult for the president to find a suitable house near the university where members of the faculty and friends of the university could meet evenings — a matter of considerable importance to our work. Recently a modest house on N street, No. 1710, was offered for sale to close an estate at |12,000. The lot is 19 by 96 feet, the house is 19 by 55 feet, three stories high. A change in the front entrance will give an extra room and enlarge the dining room. This, with repairs and decoration necessary, may cost |2,000. The property is encumbered for $5,500, bearing 4^ per cent interest. Last week the owner offered to take $11,000, if accepted at once. The treasurer and assistant treasurer looked the property over with me and concluded that it was perfectly safe to put some of the university investment funds into the prop- erty, the president to occupy and pay the interest thereon. We therefore contracted for the house at $11,000, to be conveyed to the treasurer and occupied by the presi- dent, the president to pay out of his salary the taxes, insurance, and 5 per cent inter- est upon the funds so invested. As the property is in a very desirable location, it is believed by all who have examined it that when the changes and repairs are made as proposed it would readily sell for $15,000, thus making it a perfectly safe investment. The income being assured the whole arrangement will be of mutual benefit to all concerned. I ask your approval of this action. (Vol. 6, p. 298, same date, trustees approve above action.) [Extract from minutes of trustee's meeting June 5, 1907, as found in record of trustees, vol. 6, p. 340.] (12) On motion of Mr. Levering it was ordered that the executive committee be authorized, if upon investigation it was deemed proper and advisable, to use a portion of the proceeds of the sale of Van Ness Park for the floating debt of the university and to invest the balance, $16,000, in 1710 N street at 4 per cent, and the remainder in income-paying securities, it being understood that when the university is ready to purchase a site said fund held for that purpose would be restored upon the credit of the university, the purpose being to save the interest during the time the fund was not required to purchase a site.

[Extract from records of executive committee December 17, 1907.] A special meeting of the executive committee was held Tuesday December 17, 1907, at 4.30 p. m. Present: The president, Mr. Woodward, in the chair; Doctor Greene, Doctor Gallaudet, Mr. Jennings, Mr. Perkins, Messrs. Mattingly and Larner. The president called attention to the maturity of a mortgage of $5,500 upon the house and lot known as 1710 N street, and' suggested that inasmuch as the university was not in funds to pay the mortgage he would, if satisfactory to the committee, take the house and pay off the encumbrance and give the university a note and mortgage for $16,000, payable on or before three years at 4 per cent, the same interest now paid for the use of the house. Thereupon, on motion of Mr. Perkins, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: ^'Resolved, That in consideration of the payment by Chas. W.

I hereby certify that the foregoing is a correct copy of the resolution as adopted by the board of trustees. Attest: H. C. Davis, Secretary. The George Washington University, Office of the President, Washington, B.C., May 19, 1910. To the honorable The Attorney-General of the United States, Washington, D. C. Sir: In response to your letter of April 26, the president and board of trustees of the George Washington University beg to submit the following report with the detailed statements called for. These statements are marked and referred to in this report as exhibits and are preceded by a title-page of contents giving a summary of the several statements. To present the information called for in your letter, and in the resolution referred to, ■in a clear and comprehensible form, it is essential that the organization of the univer- sity and the distribution of its courses of study in the several departments be explained. The university embraces: THE department OP ARTS AND SCIENCES. The faculty of graduate studies. The faculty of undergraduate studies: (a) The College of Arts and Sciences. (6) The College of Engineering and Mechanic Arts. (c) The College of the Political Sciences. (d) The Teachers' College. ((') The Division of Architecture. THE PROFESSIONAL DEPARTMENTS. The department of law. The department of medicine. The department of dentistry. National College of Pharmacy. The College of Veterinary Medicine. The colleges of pharmacy and veterinary medicine are organized under the charter •of the university with independent boards of trustees (see charter handed you here- with, marked "1," pp. 23 and 24). All students are matriculated in the department or college where they expect to •do the major part of their work. This college has charge of the student and recom- 30 GEOEGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. mends him to the trustees of the university for his deoree. Each student, however, takes more or less of his work in other colleges and departments of the university. This is done in the interest of economy of administration and to prevent unnecessary duplication of courses in the university. Thus, for example, in the college of engi- neering and mechanic arts the technical courses only are given, and the student takes the general courses— mathematics, physics, English, geology, etc. — in the college of arts and sciences. In agricultural courses, chemistry and other general subjects are taken in the college of arts and sciences, and physiological chemistry, bacteriology, etc., are taken in the department of medicine. This arrangement gives each student in the university, wherever he may be registered, the benefit of all the courses offered in the university. You will observe, therefore, that to give the details of instruction, and facilities for instruction, in the colleges of mechanic arts, architecture, veterinary medicine, and pharmacy presents only a partial statement of the courses and facilities offered in the university to students of agriculture and the mechanic arts. We have therefore sub- mitted the full information, which your letter and the resolution calls for, by adding the facilities and courses of instruction in all departments of the university. We sub- mit herewith a copy of the last catalogue of the university, marked "2." Pages 76 to 119 gives the courses of instruction in the department of arts and sciences. Pre- ceding this you will find the required courses in the several colleges in undergraduate work, and following the references made you will find the special courses given in the professional departments of the university. In determining what subjects and courses in the university would be entitled to receive the benefits of the Morrill acts, if extended to the District of Columbia and this university, we are guided by, and refer you to, the circular letter of the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education, herewith submitted, marked "3." With these explanations we beg to submit the following report with accompanying exhibits : - 1. Detailed statements of the equipment of the departments of engineering, archi- tecture, veterinary medicine and pharmacy are set forth in Exhibits A, B, C, and D. submitted herewith; and to complete the equipment in the subjects taught in the university, covered by the Morrill acts, there follows detailed statements of the equipment in other colleges and departments of the university, set forth in Exhibits E, F, G, H, I, and J. The values attached represent, as near as can be ascertained, the present value of the equipment, considering in all cases the length of time the article has been used. 2. Exhibit K gives the class enrollment for the past three years in each of the subjects taught in the colleges of engineering, architecture, veterinary medicine, and pharmacy; and to complete the showing of the university, the class enrollments in other colleges and departments, in the subjects referred to, for the past three years, is set forth in Exhibit L. The college of veterinary medicine was organized two years ago, and therefore has only a two years' record. 3. The salaries paid to individual professors in the colleges of engineering, archi- tecture, veterinary medicine and pharmacy are set forth in Exhibits M, N, 0, and P, and to complete the record as above explained the salaries paid to other professors in the university, teaching subjects covered by the Morrill acts, are set forth in Ex- hibits Q, R, S, t, U, V, and W. 4. Exhibit X gives the laboratory fees called for. The total number of students enrolled in the university during the pi'esent aca- demic year, 1909-10, is as follows: Graduate studies 87 Undergraduate studies 703 Professional 610 1, 400 Duplicate names 15 Total 1. 385 The teaching staff in the university consists of 174 members, as follows: Professors ' 74 Assistant professors 43 Instructors, demonstrators, and assistants 57 174 Librarian and assistants 8 GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. 31 The number of candidates for degrees. this year, not yet passed by the faculties, will be approximately 200. Prior to 1902 the university consisted of a collection of night schools, with the excep- tion of Columbian College. Columbian College had a faculty of 11 professors, assistant professors, and instructors, with an enrollment of less than 90 students, and conducted its work in the daytime. The teaching staff were paid fixed salaries, the highest being $1,800. The same professors conducted a night college, known as the Cor- coran Scientific School, and for their services in this college received 75 per cent of all tuitions paid by the students attending the college; the university received 25 per cent of the fees for the use of the building and facilities for instruction. The medical and dental courses were carried on in the evening by two faculties. The members received all of the tuitions, paid all of the expenses, and divided the net proceeds. In the law department fixed salaries were paid to the professors and instructors, but the work was conducted under the direction of the faculty. After many years of effort to secure financial aid for the university, organized as above set forth, it proved to be impossible to secure gifts of money for educational work so organized and conducted. There being a large annual deficit with no prospect of securing aid, it was deter- mined in 1902 to reorganize the university, bring all the work under the control and direction of the board of trustees and pay fixed salaries for all the work of instruction in all of the departments. It was also determined to put all of the work upon a day basis, commencing the work in the morning at 9 o'clock and closing the class room work at 6.30 in the afternoon. In order to serve a large body of students in Wash- ington employed by the Government and as secretaries to executive officers, Senators, and Congressmen, the courses are arranged in each department so as to give ten hours a week in the afternoon between 4.30 and 6.30. This work is given by the same professors and is of the same quality and grade as that given in other hours of the day. In order to make all the work of equal grade and to maintain the values of the degrees, students taking the afternoon courses are required to take additional years to earn a degree. Thus in the arts and sciences a full-day student completes a course of 60 points in four years, while the afternoon student must take from five to six years. In the law department the full-day student earns the standard degree in a course of fourteen hours per week in three years, while the afternoon student, in a course of ten to eleven hours per week, is required to take four years. This arrangement holds true in all of the work in the university excepting the medical department. The medical department has only one course and that is a full-day course. The standard of admission to the colleges of the university was raised to those required by all eastern colleges and universities, excepting in the professional schools, where the standard of admission is a four-year high-school course or its equivalent. In endeavoring to meet the demands of many students in the District of Columbia, technical courses of college grade have been introduced. These technical courses are carried on in the colleges of engineering and mechanic arts, architecture, teachers' college, veterinary medicine, and pharmacy. As stated above, in order to do this work economically, the technical courses only are given in these colleges, and the general, sometimes called the cultural, courses in arts and sciences ai'e given in the college of arts and sciences. This change necessitated an increase in the current expenses of the university. In 1902 there were 11 professors, assistant professors, and instructors giving their entire time to the university; to-day there are 41. The library, v/hich then consisted of only six or seven thousand volumes, now has over forty thousand volumes. The laboratories, which were meager, now are reasonably well eqiiipped for the work which is being done. It was believed that by thus increasing the standards and efficiency of the university, and meeting the demands of the District, financial aid would be forthcoming and the increased expenses be met. In order that you may be more fully advised of the educational plans and efforts of the university we submit herewith two documents, a report by the president, authorized to be published by the board of trustees, dated November 10, 1908, marked "4," and an address by the president entitled "The univerwsity and the District," marked "5." The budget of expenses for the present year and the estimated income of the present year are set forth in the accompanying printed document, marked "6." A reorganization of the finances of the university is in progress, as a result of which it is contemplated that the endowment funds will be restored to productive investment. It is a question whether the provisions in House bill 24316, requiring tuition in the subjects therein mentioned at |20 per year and prohibiting the use of any part of the appropriation for equipment — restrictions which it is understood are not imposed in 32 GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVEESITY. tlie case of any other allotment of the Morrill fund — will not render it impossible for the university to accept the responsibility of administering the fund. In the event that any further information is desired by you or by the Congress of the United States we shall be pleased to furnish it upon request. If any statements or information furnished herewith is not clearly understood we shall esteem it a favor if you will give us an opportunity to explain and elucidate the same. For the board of trustees of the George Washington University, we have the honor to be, Very respectfully, yours, Chas. W. Needham, President. C. H. Stockton, H. C. Perkins, A. H. Snow, A. LiSNER, Committee of the Board of Trustees. EXHIBITS REFERRED TO IN THE LETTER OF THE ATTORNEY- GENERAL. Exhibit I.

May 6, 1910. My Dear President Needham: In answer to your request of the 29th instant, I would furnish the following report concerning the rooms and accommodations assigned to students of the college of arts and sciences in the main building, corner Fifteenth and H streets. The main building consists of a basement and three stories and a tower containing two rooms. The basement is occupied by the business offices, by laboratories of the college of engineering, including also the physical laboratory, which will be reported elsewhere. In addition, there are in the basement laboratories of the department of chemistry, a janitor's room, a lavatory, and a considerable space occupied by the heat- ing plant. Nothing in the basement comes properly within the assignment or use of the college of arts and sciences, except the chemical laboratories, which, as they are used jointly by different departments of the university, will be elsewhere reported. The first story of the main building is occupied by the president's office and by the library of arts and sciences. These do not come within the scope of this report. In addition, in the first story also, are two halls, of size and capacity as follows: Name. Designation. Size. Capacity. Assembly hall Lecture hall 60 feet by 45 feet 6 inches 450 West hall . 45 feet 6 inches by 22 feet 80 45824—10- 82 GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. The second story has class rooms and offices as follows: Room No. Designation. Size.

The wing of the university building running back in the rear of the law building is occupied by the department of chemistry, reports of which are elsewhere given. In the tower of the building there is a room the full size of the tower, assigned for the use of the Young Men's Christian Association of the university. Above this room in the top of the tower is another smaller room assigned for the use of the student publications as editorialjoffices. I forward as a part of this report the report of Professor Merrill for the geological laboratory, and the report of Professor Bartsch for the zoological, botanical, and biological laboratory. The facilities in chemistry and physics, utilized largely by the college of arts and sciences, are separately reported elsewhere. Very respectfully, Wm. a. Wilbur, Dean. Schedule of equipment. Zoological, botanical, and biological laboratory. 7 microscopes, which have a value of about $40 each $280 1 microtome, valued at $30 30 1 paraffin bath, $20 20 1 Arnold steam sterilizer, about $25 25 1 paraffin oven, $20 20 Glassware, about $70 70 Reagents, about $30 30 Insect case and insects, about $150 150 625 In addition to the above we have my personal collection (Professor Bartsch) of birds, about 1,000, and Mr. Palmer's collection of birds, about 2,500, which have been used for our class work in ornithology. These, however, are private collec- tions and have simply been loaned for use. GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. 83 The number of students enrolled this year in zoology are: 12 in "zoology 1," 8 in ornithology, and 3 doing post-graduate work. The number which can be accom- modated in the room for recitation is about 30; for laboratory work, about 16. Geology. About one-half of room 33 is used for laboratorj^ purposes, say a space 25 by 50 feet, or an equivalent of 1,250 square feet. The equipment for the room consists of the following : 1 lantern |125 1 wall case with 3 maps 20 650 lantern slides, at 40 cents 260 1 roller map case of the United States 12 23 sets of blowpipe apparatus, at |5 115 Collections of rocks and minerals 250 Collections of fossils 150 Chemicals on hand 25 5 cases for books and specimens, at |20 100 2 benches with gas connections, at $25 50 1,107 The number of students enrolled for the work in the laboratory this year was 23, although there is really room for but 20. Chemistry. May 6, 1910. Mr. Charles W. Nebdham, President George Washington University. Dear Sir: In obedience to your instructions, I have the honor to submit herewith a "Report on conditions and resources in chemistry at George Washington University, May, 1910." As there are about 10,000 different items, it was of course, a physical impossibility to inventory all of them separately in the time at command. I have, therefore, divided them into 406 different classes, and taken for their values, where possible, an average value from the recent trade catalogues, allowing also for depre- ciation, and I believe that the estimate which I give is a conservative one. Yours, very truly, Charles E. Munroe. Report on conditions and resources in chemistry at George Washington University, May, 1910.

Most of the students now enrolled in laboratory work are teachers in service in the public schools. Arts and crafts equipment: Friends of the university interested in establishing in the university studio courses in the household arts raised and donated to the uni- versity for the purpose the sum of $1,060, which was expended upon the equipment of four studios, as follows: Metal work, designing, free-hand drawing and water-color painting, and artistic bookbinding. Although the studio courses in these branches were necessarily discontinued at the end of last year, the studio equipment remains in the possession of the university for possible future use. Exhibit G. college of medicine. • May 7, 1910. Dr. Charles W. Needham, President, The George Washington University. Dear Doctor Needham: In compliance with your directions of April 29, I submit herewith a detailed statement of the capacity of the medical college building, together with a statement of all class rooms, giving the number of students that can be accom- modated in each. A statement is also given of the laboratories, showing an inventory of machinery and equipment, the number of students enrolled for work in each laboratory for this GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. 93 year, and the number that can be accommodated. In itemizing the machinery and equipment, only material has been entered which is in use and serviceable. Relative to the value of the articles, the estimate submitted has been made by the professors in charge of the laboratories. Their estimate in most cases is an approxi- mate one, but they have been, I believe, as conservative as possible in their estimates. In many cases an estimated value could not be given for the reason that there was absolutely no information immediately obtainable by which the value could be arrived at. To arrive at an estimate, it would be necessary to make a search of cata- logues, the treasurer's expenditures, and in many cases employ experts. Very truly, yours, W. C. Borden, Dean.

These jars vary in size from 1 quart to several gallons. They are all provided with glass stoppers and contain specimens in alcohol or other fluid. The cost of such a collection is great but difficult to. accurately estimate. The collection of bacteria, pathological material, and material for use in the course in clinical microscopy is very extensive and complete, and, with a few exceptions, is sufficient in quantity to last for many years. It has been collected principally in Washington, but by means of exchanges with other colleges material from practically all parts of the world has been accumulated. It is impossible to place any money value upon this teaching collection, but it represents careful work by experienced men since the beginning of instruction in medicine in this university.

Dear Mr. President: I have the honor to submit herewith my report on the library of The George Washington University: The university library comprises the medical library, the law library, and the library of the department of arts and sciences. The medical library contains 2,561 volumes of first copy books and about 1,500 duplicates. It is housed in the large southeast room on the upper floor of the medical building, is well lighted, and provided with tables and chairs. The law library contains 5,220 volumes and occupies the large main room on the upper floor of the law building. It is well supplied -with tables and chairs. Conversa- tion and discussion are restricted to the adjoining lobby room. The library of the department of arts and sciences contains 34,584 volumes and pamphlets — exclusive of the old books on religion and theology, numbering 1,500, and duplicates, numbering 1,200, or counting all 37,284 volumes. This library com- prises the main or central library, the Mount Vernon alcove of the college of the political sciences, and the divisional collections of the college of engineering and mechanic arts, the teachers' college, and the di\T.sion of architecture. The main library is housed in the university building, occupying five rooms: The stack; the reading room, containing the leading reference books; the president's recep- tion room, containing chiefly serial publications and sets of periodicals; the hall room, containing mainly the old books on religion and theology; and the stage room, in which are shelved principally duplicates and books not in use. Besides, the literature on botany and biology is shelved in the biological room, and that on geology, numbering 750 books and charts, in the geological room, both on the main upper floor of the uni- versity building. The Mount Vernon alcove occupies three rooms, practically the entire first floor of the college of the political sciences, 819 Fifteenth street. It contains 3,411 volumes exclusive of pamphlets, distributed as follows: Political science and history, economics and sociology, 1,281 volumes. The front room, well equipped with tables and chairs, is used for reading and study. The divisional collection of the college of engineering occupies the large front room on the second story of the first of the I street buildings, and contains 777 books, and 150 unbound, more or less complete, volumes of engineering magazines. This room is provided also with a large central table having a periodical rack. The divisional collection of the teachers' college occupies the rear room on the first floor of the building and contains 642 books and 175 pamphlets on education, philosophy, psychology, and ethics. The room is well provided with tables and chairs. The divisional collection of the division of architecture occupies an alcove room adjoining the dean's office on the first floor of the architectural building. It contains 75 books and folios of plates and drawings. The university library contains, therefore, 42,365 volumes and pamphlets, or count- ing in the old books on religion and theology and the duplicates, 45,064 volumes and pamphlets. Naturally in a library that has existed for more than eighty years one expects to find some old and useless material. But I am pleased to be able to emphasize the fact that in our university library there is relatively less of such material than would at first appear, for the reason that, after all, our library did not begin to develop until six or seven years ago. At that time there were not more than 10,000 volumes all told. The accessions since then, with the exception of the Heinzel and Wachsmuth collections and gifts, have been in the main such standard treatises and texts as were GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. 119 recommended by the professors themselves for the use of their students in connection with the regular class-room work. As to valuable books, there are many both in the Heinzel library on Germanic liter- ature and philology, and the Wachsmuth library on classical history and archasology, and among the old stock that had accumulated prior to the reorganization of the library in the fall of 1906. With reference to the money value of the library, no volume by volume inventory has as yet been undertaken, but on the basis of the annual library appropriation and the purchasing value of the two special collections acquired, the university library represents an outlay of about |35,000. This does not, of course, include the value of the gifts, which have been very considerable during the past five years, and may be estimated at |2,000. In conclusion, my dear Mr. President, I desire to take advantage of this opportunity to thank you for your kindly and helpful interest in the development of the library. It could not possibly have attained its present eiBciency without your sympathetic cooperation. Most respectfully submitted . Alfred F. W. Schmidt, Librarian. Exhibit J. General equipment.
