In 1862 an inventory of the Philosophical Apparatus belonging to the
college was taken, and the transfer was made to the Appleton Fund; the
amount of this inventory was $2,352.75. While Rev. H. Fairbanks
occupied the chair of Natural Philosophy about $800 was paid out.
Prof. C. A. Young expended over $5,000 for apparatus while he had
charge of the department. Most of the apparatus is in good condition,
and its value is not far from $10,000.
For the Astronomical Department Prof. C. A. Young raised among the
Alumni and friends of the college, mostly in New England, over $5,000,
to put the Observatory in good condition.
Recent liberal donations to the College from the State, and from Hon.
E. W. Stoughton, of New York, have enabled the Faculty to put the
Medical Building in complete repair throughout. A suitable room for a
Pathological Museum has been finished, which is frequently receiving
specimens of diseased structure. The supply of plates, models, etc.,
is very ample, and is freely used in illustration of the lectures.
