Since 1873 the times have been somewhat difficult for the trustees who had large permanent obligations like teacher's salaries, to meet with the diminishing income of safe investments in those 13 years the rate of income on the general investments of the university has fallen from 7 44 100 to 5 19-100 per cent, and it is still falling.
