Dear Sir; i This Institution has been recently subjected to a financial embarassraent of f' 10 greatest severity. About eijifhteen months ago the failure of the Coni- ti r ('icial Bank reduced its annual income by 1000 dollars, and in December l.tst 1- f| le Government of Ontario, having resolved to give no aid to educational Insti- ll utions connected .vith particular Churches, discontinued the annual grant of l< 000 dollars allowed by the Government of Canada prior to the Confederation i--\ *■ the British American Provinces. Being thus deprived of more than half its ) . i svenue, the continuance of it on its present footing seemed to be almost im- •' , I OKsible. ^ At a meeting of Synod held here in January last for the special consideration o8 .f this crisis, it was resolved to appeal to the friends of the College for an en- 1 iowment of at least 100,000 dollars, which, bearing interest at six per cent, would fully make up for the reduction which has taken place. The support (given to this scheme has been encouraging in the highest degree. We already estimate our subscriptions at 70,000 dollars and receipts over 35,000. So many localities have yet to be visited that no difficulty in obtaining the amount re- quired is now apprehended. On the contrary it is proposed to extend the effort 'and endeavour to raise 50,000 (''"'ars more, for the purpose of founding an ad- ditional professorship in each of ihe Faculties of Arts and Theology, and making other improvements which the Trustees have for s(mie time been anxious to in- troduce. To complete so great an enterprize, especially in a new country like this, is \ work of time. Many of the subscriptions are payable by instalments, and for his reason it is not expected that the suuiUer endowment of 100,000 dollars will >e completed before April, 1871. The sustentaticui of the College in the mean- lime, without using any part of tlu^ collections intended for the endownxent, is a subject of pressing importance and great anxiety. In order to meet this diffi- cuity the Colonial Committe(> of the Church of Scotland has been asked to authorize an ajjpeal to the friends of the College in Scotland, and this the Com- mittee has generously done in the pages of thi> Home and Foreign Misdonary Record. About £1000 Sterling a-year for the next two years will be required. Any assistance you can give or induce others to give will be most thankfully received. Simon S. liaurie, P^scj., Secretary to the Colonial Cimimittee, "12 ■Queen Street, Edinburgh, will forward any contributions which may be sent to
