Agricultural and Mechanical College.
BRYAN, July 21.-TSpecial. 1.-The board
OF directors of the Agricultural and Me-
chanical college held meeting to-day and
reconsidered all other action in regard to
the management of the college. The office
of president of the college was abol-
ished, and chairman of the faculty is to
be appointed by the faculty whose duties
are academic and In no way financial or ex-
ecutiye. General Hayden, OF Galveston was
elected general manager of the board and
this seems to give entire satisfaction. Pro-
lessor OF ply sizes, a new chair, was created
by the directors. The board are little
perplexed at the action of the comptroller
in his construction of the act OF the eigh-
teenth legislature as to how the appropria-
ton of the $4,000 made to the college
should be used, although they are
sanguine and think no obstacle will be In
their way in the use of the money for the
best interest of the college. Quite num-
Der of applications were presented for the
chair of agriculture. but the board are anx-
ious to get man they know will give salts
faction, and therefore, decided to make no
selection until their next meeting. There
was an application for the chair Of mechan-
les, but the board hope to be able to have
competent man to fill the place before the
LIST OF October next. The board and faculty
were banquetted by our citizens last night.
Tho weather is extremely warm and dry.
