tended 10 any business during the
meetings Of the Association; all at
tended the meetings.r ~. I

heaviest weight OF the Association by
nearly one hundred pounds J. II. Haw-

few years.
The Oscar Wilde OF the convention was
4. S. Wade. He was very @,thetic in the
matter OF f1wers. ......... ....
The resolution requesting National Aid
created quite breeze, but the Association
passed it almost unanimously.
Following Is the resolution offered by

That il is the sense oil this Association,
that the bitter and partisan discussion now
being conducted by the papers OF the State,
concerning the West Virginia University
Is very damaging TO said institution and
has tendency 10 make our school system,
a foot ball to be tossed TO and tro BY con.
tending political parties. And TO avoid
such calamity We hereby enter our earn.
pst protest sgAinst any, aud all proceedings
TO destroy the useiulneas Of our
University and TO create prejudice against
The school system OF the State.

stitute: ..,...-.
Reso'Nd, That we are In Iayor fthe free.
dom OF the press, believing Il to be q
