During the past twelve months we have recorded under the head of “Benefactions” $9,118,500 to different educational institutions in the United States. The greater part of this was given for endowments and permanent educational facilities——a portion of it had been provided by donors during previous years, and a part still remains unpaid. Of the grand total only $66,500 was for Freedmen——the money for their support having for the most part come through the contribution boxes.
