12 and its able publications, has drawn public attention to the school with which its promoters are identified. In addition to this, members of the staff have conducted several publications on Political Economy and Public Law and History, which have now reached eleven numbers. These have attracted very wide attention both here and abroad, and indicate the important character of the researches carried on in the semi- nars of the School. To the Wharton School may be traced the genesis of the School of American History and Institutions, formally instituted in 1891. For some time previous to this date Professor Francis N. Thorpe, then Lecturer on American History, had been quietly collecting, through the liberality of a few generous individuals, a valuable library of works on American history, comprising an almost complete set of records of the National Government, Laws of States and Territories, State Records and Municipal Ordi- nances, and now amounting to about 13,000 volumes. With this as a basis of instruction and research, the scheme for a school m this important line of study was carefully elaborated, and placed in charge of Professor McMaster, Professor of American History, and Professor Thorpe, Professor of American Constitutional History. The actual work of the School began in October, 1892, and sufficient time has not elapsed to permit any definite report of its operations, or of its ultimate place in the College system. The mention of this special library recalls an important rfiovement to meet the needs of Professors and Instructors apart from the provisions of the general Library. It was the purchase, through special funds collected by Mr. Charles C. Harrison, of a series of working libraries for class-room use, consisting of the reference books which are in daily and constant use in the immediate work of the class. For their care and use the Pro- fessor is responsible, and the Library is relieved from incessant demands, and the time of teachers and students greatly econo- mized. I am happy to report a gratifying improvement in the daily chapel services, brought about by assiduous attention of your
3 Committee on Religious Services to the duty 6f its appointment. Beginning with January, 1892, these services were entrusted to four chaplains selected from prominent clergymen of different denominations, each of whom serves daily for one week at a time throughout the College year. In addition to the former service of reading, singing and prayer, the Chaplain is expected to deliver a brief address on some important topic, the entire service to be restricted to -fifteen minutes of time. The preparation of such brief addresses that shall be at the same time effective demands unusual personal ability, and it is gratifying to note that the gentlemen selected have succeeded admirably in enlisting and maintaining the attention and interest of the students. For an hour after the Chapel service the Chaplain is in attendance in the „Faculty room to receive and advise with any student who cares to consult with him on any interest of the social, moral or spiritual life, and it is believed that these conferences are in many cases most helpful to the young men who avail themselves of the privilege offered. The Rev. Dr. George Dana Boardman, the Rev. Dean Bartlett, the Rev. Dr. Charles Wood, the Rev. Dr. J. A. M. Chapman, the Rev. Leverett Bradley, the Rev. Dr J A Lippincott, and the Rev. Dr. John T. Beckley are they who have thus far conducted this beneficent and in some respects laborious work, and they have the satisfaction of knowing that the opportunity for spiritual influence upon young men, the most of whom have influential lives before them, is one which they are meeting with every assurance of success and grateful appreciation. The services have been further improved by a careful organization of the College choir, which has been placed under the able direction of Mr. Frederick B. Nielson as choir-master, and has already attained a high degree of proficiency. I cannot conclude this review of the operations of the College Department without again calling attention to its most urgent need—that of adequate financial support. There are in every college pay students and free students but the difference between them is merely a difference in degree.' No man can exhibit receipted tuition bills and say " I have paid for my son's education." He has contributed to the expenses of
