PROPERTY.

"With the exception of $25,000 received from the legislature of New York in 1857, the funds of Rochester University have been raised entirely by its friends and alumni." Among its greatest benefactors have been Hiram Sibley, John B. Trevor, and John H. Deane. As given in the One hundred and seventh Regent's Report, the total property of the university was valued at $1,191,319, and its total income for that year (1888-89) amounted to $41,371.05.

Its library building, the gift of Mr. Sibley, is valued at $100,000, and contains about 26,000 volumes. There is about an equal number of books in the theological library, accessible to university students. It was the firm opinion of President Anderson that the university should have no dormitories, and this wise policy has been followed, thereby preventing that sequestration of the students from society and actual life which is the bane of many of our colleges.

BIBLIOGRAPHY.

[Furnished by H. K. Phinney, assistant librarian.]

1. Laws of New York, eightieth session, 1857, chapter 125, "An act for the relief of the University of Rochester," passed March 19, 1857.

NOTE. The charter was granted by the regents. The only legislation that I know of was an act [referred to above] appropriating $25,000 to the university in case its friends raised a similar amount. To secure this appropriation General Rathbone gave us our library fund, and the State appropriation aided in the erection of Anderson Hall. This is all the State aid we ever received.-J. H. GILMORE.
