Excerpt from In the Matter of Charges Presented by Certain Professors Against the President of Union College: The Argument of the President's Counsel, Esek Cowen, Esq. The demand for College progress has been met, through Presi dent Potter, by a total of invested endowments, including principal, interest and all gains, exceeding half a million of dollars; the re moval of liabilities exceeding a quarter of a million of dollars, and land provision to meet certain other liabilities. These benefactions, secured' during the hard times, stand in contrast with two then sand dollars of endowments for 186247 2. Numbers have advanced from 85 to about 200. Alumni and Memorial Hall, and a Glypte theka, have been added; the Gymnasium and d'esidences, the Eastern Colonnades with Library Hall; the improvement of buildings, grounds, equipments; the introduction of water and gas, bathing facilities, etc.; large additions to the Library, the Art and Culture department and the apparatus and collections; the pro vision of more than one hundred thousand dollars for student aid, and a large amount available for support of professors and depart ments. The Nott Trust Fund excepted, Union Since 1872 (the year of President Potter's inauguration) has gained more in gifts and endowments than in the entire previous three-quarters of a century: It is hard work to find money, easy to find fault. The President has been active in building Up the College, and his enemies in secretly building up a party to destroy it. The Sort of evidence given and the spirit evinced in what Prof. Lawrence justly terms the persecution of the President, are appar ent also from the following appeal. The Rev. Mr. Lawrence, an Alumnus. Who received the Warner Prize Cup at the graduation, has been a faithful and respected Tutor, Instructor and Assistant Professor in the College. He appeals through a Trustee for justice and asks that the Corporation correct some of the' false testimony given for the prosecution in the trial, so that the foul slander upon my (his) reputation may be removed for, Rev. Dr. J. T. Backus tes tified as to my work and that testimony is simply false. Instead of taking pay for services I did not render, the trouble is, I discharged the full duties of a professor at half the usual compensation.
