PENDLEToN,S S. c., July 3O.-The board
of trustees of Clemson college held its
final meeting this merning and today tho
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 aud 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-
ions,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 So
cure the men best qualified for the posi-.
tions, as far as possible, naive South Car
olinians, 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 a professor
