EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
pit es of real estate (in which surplus funds had h n in vested) and personal property, the total valued a! $18,478. o. While the individual gifts in most eases are small, the [total is impressive. Without attempting to se1 a value on the multitude o\ gifts for which no definite monetary value was announced, such as portraits, works of art, book . museum pieces, etc., the grand total is $4,147,420.75. Thi does not include the original Federal endowment, the gift of Champaign County nor of the Illinois Central Railroad in [867. Undoubtedly the figure is much below the amount actually received. It is my hope that an inspection of this list will stir thEfenerosity o\ man\- other friends interested in the work of the University to contribute more largely in the future. Enwments ^i professorships, fellowships and scholarships, indent loan funds, buildings and equipment with proper enwment for operation, lectureships, hooks, works of art and industry, are among the needs of the institution. June 1, 1930. DAVID K I NTLEY President
