Excerpt from Financial History of Lawrence Academy at Groton, Massachusetts: With a Statement of Its Funds Now Available Owing to the great depression that has prevailed in business circles during the past eighteen months, the income derived from the invested funds of Lawrence Academy has been] seriously lessened. A similar diminution of available money for cur rent expenses has lately fallen to the lot of many other literary institutions. While in the case of the Academy it is unfortunate that this state of affairs should exist, it need not be the subject of discour agement. On other occasions of like emergencies the friends of the institution have come forward and given freely and cheerfully toward its support.
