Extract: In July, 1893, the lands described in the complaint were mortgaged to the State for a loan from the Permanent Endowment Fund. The note and mortgage contained the power of sale authorized by statute. In February, 1897, the lands were sold by the county treasurer for the delinquent taxes of 1895 and 1896, and the usual certificate was issued to the purchaser.

Extract: My dear President Swain: I know I only repeat what many school men have said to you but I wish to join with them in sincere regret at your reported determination to leave our university. I hope something may transpire to keep you, but if that is a vain or unwelcome wish I shall wish for you the love of as many students in your new association as you have in Indiana.
