Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the President and Treasurer to the Trustees, With Accompanying Documents, for the Year Ending June 30, 1933 There is herewith submitted the Annual Report on the condition and needs of the University which is prescribed by the Statutes. Accompanying this report are the admirable and interesting re ports of the several Deans and Directors which contain informa tion, discussion and interpretation that should 'be carefully read and pondered by the entire membership of the University. Anxious as was the year 1931 - 32 and marked as it was by grave problems administrative, financial and personal, it must be recorded that the year 1932 - 33 surpassed it in each one of these respects. Never in all our corporate history were the resources at the command of the Trustees more se verely taxed, never were the problems with which they had to deal more instant and more serious, and never was the spirit of the University so abundant in helpful cooperation, in cheerful and un selfish assistance in effecting all possible measures of economy, and in loyal devotion to the University's ideals despite every sort and kind of loss, of privation, and of genuine suffering. That so large and so many-sided a company of scholars could bear itself so finely under such conditions is an achievement of highest mag nitude and one worthy of permanent record in the history of the universities of the world.
