To  the  Members  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  Lebanon  Valley  College: 

The  Finance  Committee  is  herewith  presenting  its  report  for  the 
fiscal  year  beginning  September  1,  1925,  and  ending  August  31,  1926.  A 
supplementary  report  giving  a  record  of  the  business  for  a  portion  of  the 
present  fiscal  year  will  be  ready  for  distribution  at  the  meeting  of  the 
Board. 

Endowment 

The  Endowment  Fund  at  the  end  of  the  fiscal  year  was  $543,483.89. 
There  was  added  to  the  Endowment  Fund  during  the  year  $75,515.59.  Of 
this  amount  $50,790.67  was  paid  by  subscribers,  and  $24,724.92  by  the 
General  Education  Board   (Rockefeller.) 

Endowment  Income 

Schedule  III,  page  11,  shows  the  total  net  receipts  from  the  invested 
funds  in  the  Endowment  Fund  was  $26,847.22.  Of  this  amount  $23,626.49 
was  paid  into  the  College  Treasury  for  general  expenses,  professorships, 
and  books  for  the  Library.  The  balance  was  put  into  scholarship  funds 
to  be  distributed  as  specified  by  the  donors. 

Scholarships 

Schedule  IV,  page  11,  gives  a  record  of  the  scholarships  and  other 
financial  assistance  given  to  students  during  the  year.  This  record  shows 
that  rebate  to  ministers'  children  amounted  to  $1,450.00.  The  total  amount 
given  to  students  having  license  to  preach  was  $2,850.00. 

Extension 

Extension  classes  were  conducted  by  our  faculty  at  Annville,  Lebanon, 
Harrisburg,  and  Tower  City,  with  a  total  enrollment  of  143.  The  amount 
retained  by  the  College  was  $580.88,  as  indicated  in  Schedule  IX,  page  14. 

Summer  School 

Summer  School  was  conducted  both  at  Annville  and  Harrisburg 
during  the  summer  of  1926,  with  a  total  enrollment  of  185.  The  College 
retained  $598.48  as  its  share  of  the  proceeds. 

Music  Department 

The  report  of  the  Music  Department  shows  a  deficit  for  the  year, 
which  is  partly  due  to  the  re-building  of  the  console  of  the  pipe  organ. 

Repairs 

The  total  expenditures  for  repairs  for  the  fiscal  year  amounted  to 
$10,814.81.  The  amount  expended  on  each  building  is  as  follows:  Admin- 
istration $267.70,  Engle  Hall  $212.74,  Library  $424.79,  Men's  Dormitory 
$718.39,  North  Hall  $1,359.11,  South  Hall  $1,737.46,  Heating  Plant 
$2,982.95,  President's  Home  $294.37.  The  balance  of  $2,816.30  was  spent 
on  Cesspool  and  Campus. 

One  of  the  reading  rooms  in  the  Library  was  fitted  out  with  additional 
shelving  to  care  for  the  needs  of  the  Library. 

Several  permanent  cases  for  the  Museum  in  the  Administration  Build- 
ing were  purchased.  The  equipment  of  the  Museum  will  be  spread  out  over 
a  period  of  two  or  three  years  in  order  to  distribute  the  expenditures. 


Concrete  curbing  was  placed  on  the  three  sides  of  the  Campus,  and 
the  walk  along  Main  Street  re-laid  to  conform  to  the  grade  established  by 
the  State  Highway  Department. 

In  accordance  with  the  recommendation  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  the 
residence  of  Ralph  Brewer,  located  on  the  corner  of  Sheridan  Avenue  and 
White  Oak  Street,  was  purchased  for  $7,200,00.  $4,000.00  was  paid  in 
cash,  which  amount  is  covered  by  this  report.  The  balance  of  $3,200.00 
together  with  the  cost  of  renovation  and  equipment  of  the  home,  was  paid 
during  the  present  fiscal  year,  beginning  September  1,  1926,  and  is  not 
included  in  the  figures  of  this  report. 

It  will  be  noticed  by  careful  examination  of  this  report  that  the  College 
has  extended  its  activities  very  materially,  and  that  extensive  repairs  have 
been  made  and  paid  for,  as  well  as  a  substantial  payment  on  the  Brewer 
home.  Also  that  we  have  a  substantial  balance  on  hand  at  the  end  of  the 
fiscal  year,  all  of  which  is  very  gratifying  to  the  Committee. 

A.  S.  KREIDER 

Chairman  of  Finance  Committee 

P.  S. — For  the  information  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  we  wish  to  state, 
that  by  paying  the  balance  of  $3,200.00  due  on  the  Brewer  home,  together 
with  the  remodeling  of  same,  which  cost  us  $5,270.61,  and  the  equipment 
of  the  home,  which  cost  us  $1,718.47,  we  have  incurred  no  debt  to  the 
College,  as  this  balance,  as  well  as  the  cost  of  remodeling  and  equipment, 
has  been  paid,  and  we  hope  to  close  the  year  on  September  1,  1927,  not- 
withstanding these  expenditures,  with  a  balance  on  hand.
