Expenses of Library Alterations.

The Corporation has in its possession $40,000 which can be used toward defraying the expenses of the alterations in Gore Hall. Of this amount $13,000 was subscribed some years ago by the alumni and undergraduates. The balance is the Gore fund, bequeathed by Governor Gore of Massachusetts, who died in 1841. The cost of the present improvements will be within the limit of $40,000, so that no appeal will be made to the graduates for the present at least.
