RESOLUTIONS
Of Board of Trustees and Board of Visitors of Arkansas Industrial Unlversi-
 ty, June, 1882.

A full and exhaustive examina- ton was made Tn June, 1882, by the Board of Visitors and Trustees as to the cause of decline in the College classes of the University. The re- ports below show the oplnion of the sworn officers of the State:
 REPORT or BOARD OF VISITORS.
 Whereas, We have discovered from the testimony of numerous witnesses, that Prof. Conrad, an ear nest and valuable educator, in his zeal to secure high degree oi ex- celence in his own department. has been unmIndful of the rights of oth CT professors, and the interest and progress of his students in other branches, and furthermore, does not,

we conceive, appreciate the fact that Arkansas students have not enjoyed the preliminary advantages of the students Of older states.
 The evidence before us clearly shows that he systematically over loads his students, laying ont work that requires (should justice be done his work ) all the hours an average student should be employed per day in close study. We also find that the extremely high standard set up by Prof. Conrad has greatly reduced the present graduating class and driven off numbers from the junior class for the past two years, until only three remaIn to constitute the next senior class.
 We would prefer that this modi- fication be made by selecting text books, that do not enter so deeply into the mysteries of those subjects, rather than by selecting from more difficult text books; in other words, the course should be adapted to the capacity of the classes of students that attend the University and so arranged as to invite the attendance of the greatest number possible.
 I've find that the Professor of Physics and Astronomy has occu pied an undue portion dtime and at. tention of students to that depart ment to the depression of other branches of study equally important, and by the difficulty of the course has deterred students from the Uni vessity and from the study of those subjects.
 "We recommend, therefore, that the course of study in the depart ment of Physics and Astronomy be modified to accord with the views here expressed"
 Resolution unanimously adopted.

STRUCK BY FORTUNE.
One of the Memphis Men who Drew Fifteen Thousand
 Dollars.

Stories of sudden or miraculous wealth have always possessed pc culiar fascination for the masses, and the man who has drawn prize in lottery is regarded as the hap piest of mortals. At the last draw ing of The Louisiana State Lottery two Memphis men drew $15,000 each. One of these was Mir. B. J. Dorsey, who has been foreman of hands at work upon il levees along the Mississippi. He has been living in humble circumstances at B Jack son street. An Avalanche reporter yesterday had the curiosity to see the man who had drawn the $l5,- 900, so he repaired to the corner of Main andJackson streets and inquir- ed of some children where Dorsey lived.
 "You mean the man that drew the lottery prize?' ask one of them.
 "Yes,'' replied the reporter.
 "He moved away. He used to live in that little house over there, but he's goln' to live h fine house in Fort Pickering now"
 The reporter greatly marveled and went to the house pointed out to him, and asked man there If Dorsey still lived there.
 'No,'' was the reply. "You sec he drew part of the big prize Tn The Louisiana State Lottery, and he wants moro stylish quarters. He's got the money and guess he's hap py. I wish was in his place, that's all"
 Mir. Dorsey is said to be q man Tn every way deserving the good luck that has been thrust upon him by chance. Memphis, (Tenn.), Ava. lanche.

 There seems to be considerable excitement over a E. of F. ticket at this time, although it is mostly among the political parties.
 Mir. o. H. you have said great deal about the B. of F. Keep a cool head. The E. of F. are independent and true platform. They have paralyzed the republican party and democrat party in this county. The B. of F. have many remedies, the most effectual one of which is to eradicate an evil. We must go down to the bottom and remove the cause. Many causes have combined in the grand primary cause, the one that swallows all others in it's mag nitude and extent is found in our present exemption laws. These laws were made for the good of the people, and without reflection would seem to be one thing needful But at least three fourths of the people in this country do not own property sufficient to cove. the amount set aside by the exemption laws. The natural consequence is grand dis trust in all the ordinary business transactions, confidence between man and man has been destroyed, and the common poor man as q gen era( thing, in the matter of trust stands but little higher than an African fresh from Etheopia. It will be matter of pleasure and pride to any well informed citizen of the county and State to look oyer the finances of the county and state, and see them looming up to such q high standard Of responsibility. B. of F. must look with pride and satisfac tion upon this county and state ol things, and especially when he re members the enormous burden ol debt left upon our shoulders by the dishonest and oppressive rings and cliques of the republican party and democrat party of this county and state. B. of F. choose your very best men for delegates to the state convention, and then send them with their hands united and their judge ment untrammelled, and nine times out of ten greater satisfaction would be the result, saving money Tn making the state canvass.
 Good men generally make good officers, and the brothers of freedom are more apt to elect good officers. Whoever keeps an open ear for brothers of freedom will be sure to hear the trumpet of rush into dis sension. A meeting E. of F. held at Freeman Springs lodge on the 7th ult. J. w. Blackburn president.
 Respectfully,
