CENTRAL FEMALE COLLEGE,
Report Of the Board of Education of
Missouri Conference. Monday
Sept. IA. 1885.

The board of education infer from the en-
e~ouraging report of this college that it is on
the high road to eminent success and useful
ness. Its advantages in every respect invest
1t with:more than ordinary attractions to those
young ladies who wish to enjoy the best facil-
tiles IN the pursuit Of q tirst-cls q education,
The college since the completion Of the new
addition is q magnificent structure, in the
latest style Of architecture, and displaying the
best artistic taste. Its elevated situation upon
. large and beautiful plat of ground gives 1t q
very commanding appearance, while it COM
mands the view Of the surrounding country
extending for miles, and feasring the eye up.
on 3 sublime and picturesque landscape Of
gorgeous scenery. The college commenced
its present session on the Sd Of September,
under most favorable auspices, with more
than 100 students present the first day, GO of
whom are boarding pupils. with others who
have engaged rooms yet to come. The pres
emit outlook is very fine. With their large and
capactous building full of boarders, and with
. complete faculty of highly qualified and ex-
perienced teachers, the future of Central Fe-
male College was never so bright and PROM
Using.
We further state that in compliance with a
resolution passed by this conference at its last
session, our curstors of said college have ex.
amined the financial condition of the college
and accompanied their report with q state
ment OF the same, showing the financial con-
dition of the college. After an examination
Of this statement and after hearing the verbal
reports Of the members of our c~urators of
said college who attended the last annual
meeting of the board of curators last June.
and who made careful inquiry into the finan-
cial condition of the college, We believe that
the pledge of Lexington to raise twenty
thousand dollars as q consideration for it's
location has been fully complied with. The
financial statement of said curators shows
that Lexington and Lafayette county have
raised in actual cash and in subscriptions for
said college more than thirty thousand dol
lars. and in our opinion Lexington has done
her whole duty In this matter, and we recon-
mend that this conference comply with ,ts
pledge in reference to said college, thereby
completing the relation between them AZ
originally contemplated in its organization,
giving the same relation to Central Female
College with Central College,
We would recommend the re- slection of
the following brethren as board of curstors
VIM. Morrison. John E. Rylsnd, DR.. NJ. F,
Wakefield. Rev. w. f. Dockery, Rev. X. A.
Austin and Mr.. David Ball.

Attorney Hicklln reported that he had been
sick, and not able to attend to the business
which had been referred to him.
Recorder Welborn stated that at the last
meeting of the council q fine had been re-
mitted which had been imposed by him.. He
fined the party for doing business with
out a license. The license had been issued Is
days, and the man was doing business that
length Of time, while the license was unpaid,
and was in the hands of the marshal. The
fine was sbated because the license had not
run 80 days, He claimed that the attorney
had the right to prosecute . man for doing
business one day without q license, and If the
council allows 30 days to expire, no license
can be collected from peddlers. They can
apply for license, and do business for % days,
and then skip the town. II the abatement of
this fine is to become q precedent It will be
useless to fine any one else for doing business
without q license.
Mr.. Russell moved that the matter be re-
ferred to the ordinance committee and city
attorney. with instructions to report at the
