1872.] OF THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES. 173
following as objects specially requiring Legislative assist-
ance : 1. Additional Professorships, the appropriation for
which, added to the present State donation, should be made
a permanent annuity. 2. The Library, Laboratory, Philo-
sophical Apparatus and Cabinet. 3. The extension of the
Public Hall and suitable rooms for the Library and Labora-
tory 4. The maintenance of two students from each Sena-
torial District, who shall teach within the State for two
years in return for this assistance. The sum required for
these purposes might seem large in the aggregate to those
who have not observed what has been done lor literary in-
stitutions by State donation, but compare this with what
other States have done, the only means by which they have
built up those Colleges and Universities, which are annually
drawing off numbers of the sons of Maryland, and it will
dwindle into insignificance. The State of Louisiana alone
in 1867 appropriated annually $39,200 for the maintenance
of students at the State University, besides $8,200 of inde-
pendent annuity, and special appropriations lor Library and
Apparatus, which amounted to at least $20,000, within a
few years after the reorganization of the University. The
State of Maryland has never made any appropriation to the
Buildings, Library and Apparatus of this College, and I re-
spectfully submit fiat the present is a most suitable time
for it. In conclusion, on behalf of the Board of Visitors
and Governors and the Faculty of the College, I respect-
fully extend to your Honorable Body an invitation to visit
the College, inspect its buildings and grounds, and examine
the methods of instruction pursued and the management of
its several departments.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES M. GARNETT,
Principal of St. John's College,
ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE,
