PENDLEToN, S. c., July 30.-The board
of trustees of Clemson college held it's
final meeting this merning and today the
various members left for their homes.
The long session Of the board was
caused by the difficulty Of the selection
of professors from the multitude Of
applicants, all Of whom came with un-
exceptionable references and recon-
mendations. The board proceeded slow
ly and with the greatest care. The va
rious credentials of the applicants were
read and every endeavor made to secure
the very best possible men for the posi-
tlons,for the trustees recognized that
upon their selections, In great measure,
| would rest the fate of the college for
| success or failure.
1t took several ballots in each case to
agree upon the men for the different
chairs.
| The board not only endeavored to se-
cure the men best qualified for the posi-.
tlons, as far as possible, native South Car
ollnlans, and men who has been active
supporters of the movement for the
establishment of separate agricultural
and mechanical college in South Caro-
lima. The application Of this last rule
caused great difficulty in several cases
IN the election OF professor.

TWO DISTINCT PARTIES.
At the meeting of this board there
were two distinct parties. One favored
practical education alone while the
other wanted some theoretical instruc-
ton in the curriculum. The advocates
of practical. industrial education were
victorious. Theoretical instruction
will be given at Clemson college, but
all the theories taught will be reduced
to practice.
The trustees have not arranged the
curriculum and will not do so for some
time. Late In the summer joint meet
ing of the trustees and the professors
will be held, and then the course of
study and work will be mapped out.
If the buildings are completed III
time and judging from the present rate
of progress they will be, the college will
commence work February l, 1892. The
session will be nine months long.

OF chemistry, another brick residence,
the chemistry building, the barn and
five wooden residences for the foremen
and professors have been completed.
