Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Provost to the Board of Trustees: To September 1, 1896, Including the Report of the Acting Provost From June 9, 1894 Gentlemen - I have the honor to submit to you the history of the University from the 9th of June, 1894, until August 31, 1896. During nearly the whole Of the first half of this period, the University was with out a permanent official head; but at the suggestion of the Board, I assumed the position Of acting-pro vost. Notwithstanding this fact, it seems right that there should be presented to you a statement of the University's affairs, both during the period when I acted as Provost, and since the time when the Provost ship of the University was committed by you to my responsibility. I beg first to refer to the more impor tant changes which have taken place in our University ranks, through death or resignation. Your Board has rarely sustained so many losses in membership in as brief a period. Within two years Mr. Henry H. Houston, the Hon. Henry Reed, the Rev. Dr. Charles W. Schaeffer and Dr. William Hunt have been taken from us, and each removal was a distinct loss to the University, and a personal bereave ment to those with whom they have been associated in its service.
