...present yearly contributions of the co-operating colleges is becoming more and more important, as at the end of ten years all obligations assured by the co-operating colleges will cease.

"The close union of fifteen colleges in the promotion of a common object is a spectacle unique in this country, where the relations between the colleges are far too slight, and it is a cheering indication...
