The contest for the Suiherlin medal Tor

a large audience In the college chapei,
President W. W. Smith opened the exer-
cises for the day The young orators

the words OF one OF the judges, IAN did
SO well that It Is really a hard task TO
decide who should receive the medal.
The Judges were Rev. J. T. Wightman.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
The session OF the board has been an
unusually long one. They have done con-
siderable routine work. and many details
Of the several institutions were looked
into. No action has yet been taken on
the election Of trustees. professors, or
other officers. Committees have this WORK
In hand, and will report at the morning
session.
At the afternoon session the centre OF
interest was on a series OF resoiu'ionH
relating to the work ahead In the various
81 III m.
the lifting OF the debt and the collecting
of the endowment fund. The board de-
cided unanimously that it would be ne
cessary for the good OF the colleges ara
academies that President ". W. smith
should resign as secretary of the BOARD
OF Education OF the Methodist Episcopai
Church, South. These views meet Win
the Presidents approval, ana IN proper
time he will reliquish those duties. Rev.
A. c. Brown made a good point wnen
on the floor advocating the passage OF
the resolutions above referred to-. e.
that the wants and needs OF Randolph
Macon College could be looked after pei
ter did the president reside here instead
of at Lynchburg. He spoke at length
and urged the board 10 make the change,
saying that the trustees had built
handsome house here for the president.
and that he should be here 10 ccupy II.
Several trustees from Lynchburg and
vicinity looked at the matter differently,
so Or. Smith will reside for the present
in Lynchburg at the Woman's College.
A series of resolutions expressing the
sympathy of the board on the death OF
Professor W. a. Shepard were present
ed and passed by rising vote. The
board meets again al $50 "A. NJ. to-fnor-
