At the final meeting of the trustees this
forenoon it was voted to have commencement
hereafter the first Wednesday of July. The
yearly appropriations for the library, histori-
cal, and for the departments of the sciences
were largely increased over former years.
Money was appropriated to purchase mineral
collection also to enable Prof. Elder to visit
and examine the geological character of por-
tion of Nova Scotia and for a course of lectures
on art. DR.. Pepper was elected trustee to fill
the place of DIR. Dexter, and Rev. Isaiah Rec
ord of Houlton, for one year in place of DR..
Robins. 1t was voted to confer no honorary
degrees of A. N. in course. The funds of
Colby have increased $4,000 within the year
and the treasurer's report shows the institu-
tion was never in so good condition financial
ly as at the present time.
At the commencement dinner speeches were
made by Gov. Plaisted Hon. J. II. Drummond,
Judge Bonney and other distinguished alumni,
and a general expression of hopefulness for the
future pervaded ALL The most perfect conf
dence in the ability, power and success of the
new President is entertained by Students
alumni and trustees. The prospect is good for
a very large Freshman class. Hon. j. Ell.
Drummond, g. D. B. Pepper, d. D., and 0.
S. Stearns, D. D., were constituted commit
tee to amend and revise course and method
of instruction. The college is evidently enter
ing upon a new epoch and higher plane of
action.
