THE NEW BOARD CT RKGENTs.
OF the newly APPOINTED Board OF
Regents, com posed of one from each
Judicial District-nine in all-five were
present. viz: D. D. johnson, of Tyler;
H. S. Carr, of Hardy II. s.
Walker, of KanaSba; F. n.
Chaliant, Of Lewis; and L, S. Hough,
of Mouongalia. OF the other four it is
believed that Hon. G. J. Faulkner, OF
Berkley, and o. s. Long, Of Ohio, have
declined to serve; A. F. Matthews, OF
Greenbrier, received notice Of his APP.

Der of the old Board never attended a
meetipg-and as he lives in such an
extremely remote corner OF the State,
probably never will. The Board Or
ganized bv the eelection Of D. D. John
son as permanent President, and have,
at their several meetings. been famil-
iarizing themselves with the condition
of the institution with view of pro-
viding for its needs. The University Is
but in its infsucy-a mere nucleus out
Of which a great seat OF learning may
be built-and the love Of ed
ucation aud the State pride
of every citizen Of West Virginia is APP
pealed to for his aid and uauence in the
I'M portant work. Let the hands OF the
Regents be strengthened, aud let the
Regents strengthen and encourage the
able and accomplished faculty, and let
the people instruct their Legislators to
render that material aid without which
no i'm portant institution OF learning can
be built up.
THE STATE CADETS.
The review Of the State Cadets, twen-
ty in number, took place at 3 o'clock
on Thureday, under drill OF Capt. II. IL.
Pierce, the clear-beaded and worthy
Profe ssor Of Mathematics and Military
Science, in the ample grounds connected
with the institution. The target prac-
tice with FOUNDER together with the
use Of the signals taught by Sergeant
Watson, Meteorological Observer, at
tracted great interest. The Legislature
at its last session provided for increas-
ing the number OF State Cadets to four
from each Judicial District, which will
make the whole number thirty six
hereafter. There are now some
five or six vacancies made by
the graduating Of Cadets, which
togethe- with the increase, will
make the number Of appointments for
the next session twenty, to Re recon-
mended by the Regents from the re-
spective districts in which vacancies
exist These cadets get their tuition,
books and stationery at State expense.
The course of study for them ia the
same as for the other students and they
have the additional advantage OF re-
ceiving instruction IN the military arts,
important among which are celebrity
and precision in thought and
action, nestness Of person, and an
erect and manly carriage. We hope
to see these vacancies all filled by good,
Industrious, earnest boys before the
opening OF the next session in Septem-
Der.
