Excerpt from Annual Reports of the President and the Treasurer of Oberlin College for 1902-03 While the sums do not in themselves seem large, it should be remembered that the $903 is money available for current expenses, and represents the interest on a considerable sum. If we can count on its continuance, it answers, for example, practically to the salary of an additional instructor. And the movement ought naturally to grow with each succeeding year, as it has this year, and still more rapidly, as the pledges to the Reunion Fund and to the previous Half Million Fund are paid up. Aside from the money involved, also, it means much to have the College as a regular object of benevolence continually in the minds of our alumni; they cannot fail to be more interested where they are regularly giving. Other Gifts. Several other gifts which have come to the College during the year deserve special mention. To be put first, perhaps, is the gift of the marble bust of Professor Fenelon B. Rice, intended for the Conservatory building. The sculptor is Mr. Spicer-simson. The bust is completed, and would have been here at Commencement time, had it not been retained for exhibition in the Salon at Paris. It is now expected that it will be put in place in December. The money for the bust came from the small gifts of a very large num ber of fellow-teachers, students, and friends, and from the proceeds of the memorial concert, given by the Conservatory Faculty and Orchestra on the evening of November 19, 1902. It is only fitting that the Conservatory Should have so permanent a memorial of the man who was to so large an extent the creator of the musical department of the College.
