The demands upon institutions of learning arc broadening, yem' hy year, and equipment and endowment must be increased to keep pace '\vith the demands. Alfred forms no exception to the rule. 'With the assistance of her friends, she has been enabled to meet all requirements in the past. Relying upon a continuation of that kindly interest in her work, there is here presented for consideration, a variety of channels in which substantial aiel m meeting the dcmands of the future may be directed:
