that whenever you may visit Washington I may have the pleasure of wel-
coming you at our University. Thanks be to God, our work goes on very
satisfactorily. Last October we opened the departments for lay stu-
dents, -- our courses having been during the preceding six years only
those belonging to higher studies in divinity. Now we have the com-
plete organization of a university with the exception of the school
of medicine alone. In each department, of course, the equipment is as
yet only partial, but as the courses develop during the next four or
five years it will become more and more perfect. This year is for me
one of special difficulty. Between now and next June I must raise
nearly $50,000, in order to meet the expenses incident to the opening
of our new departments. Where I am to get it all Providence only
knows, but I push on trustfully.

With cordial best wishes,
Truly yours in Christ,

John J. Keane, Rector
