A CHURCH HALL
And Woman's College 10 be Built
The Baptists Get Together and Res
olute,
Means Great Deal to the University
and Town.

At the recent meeting of the West
Virginia Baptist Association held at
Wheeling some very important mat
tiers were considered in connection
with the University. The complete
carrying out of the plans means
much to Morgantown and to the
school Two resolutions were pre-
scented to that body and both re
eeiyed the hearty endorsement of it.
The first looks toward the establish
ment of Baptist Hall here similar
to the one already successfully estab-
lished and operated by the EDisco-
palians. A large building will be
erected, which viii furnish dormito-
ries for students and a real home for
them. Rooms will be rem. free for
ministerial st@lents and the income
from the othe, ,ooms will be applied
toward supporting the Hall and for
the support Of the ministerial stu
dents. The Hall will belong to and
be under the control of the Baptist
Educational Society of WestVirginia
and be under the management of the
Pastor of the Baptist church here.
A board of trustees to oversee tile
conduct of the Hall will be, ex officio;
President and Corresponding Secre-
tary of the Baptist Educational So
ciety, Pastor of Morgantown Baptist
Church, Baptist Professors in the
University and others. This plan
has the full approval of the General
Association and funds will be raised
to do the work in the near future
and very likely the beginning of the
next school year will see the Hall in
full operation.
This plan of Church Hall is one
that all denominations in the state
will sooner or later adopt as every
consideration of economy and utility
urges it. 1t means new era foi
our school and permanent increas
| ing amount of prosperity for it. II
can only be helpful to all parties
concerned and only needs proper
consideration of its merits to be put
into operation.
Another resolution was also
passed looking toward the estab
lishment of a Woman's College here
in connection with the University
A building sufficient to accommo
date dormitories, lecture rooms ano
equipments equal TO first class
boarding school for girls and in adj
dition to the regular University
! Courses in Music, Art and woman's
industries, etc, appropriate. for &
Woman's College, will be built.
The resolution looks to the coop
Grafton of all other denomination
in the state in establishing this col
lege and to the presentation of thi.
matter to the University authorities
to the State Legislature and to the
public.
Our Baptist brethren are certain
| ly to be congratulated on their en-
terprise and are deserving of the
hearty cooperation of all friends o
the University. Their plans viii
when carried out give great boon
to everything connected with the
i University and will aid the growth
| of Morgantown to a very materia
degree. Let everybody aid in carry
ing out these plans and the next
few years will witness mighty
stride forward in our material pros
perity.

b, the MOuntaincere With the Greatest
of Ease.


We have met the enemy and gone
through them like water through a
seive. They were not in the game a
little bit and the team "from the
wilds OF West Virginia." made play
things of them. The adherents of the
varsity" team have not yet appreci-
ated the strength of their team but
this game has showed it to them. P.
A. G. is the strongest team in Pitts
burg and had made special efforts to
get in the best of condition for this
game. How well they succeeded is
shown in the score. The day was all
that could be asked and the boys were
in fine trim. A large and enthusiast
tic crowd of varsity" rooters made
things lively with yells and cheers.
The toss up was won by w. V. U. and
and Krebbs chose goal and p. A. c..
kicked off. The ball was rapidly work
ed down deep into P. A. G. territory
and it remained there during all the
first half The college team put up a
fine article of ball and the Pittsburg-
ers were rendered desperate by the un-
expected strength of their opponents.
Bad fumbles kept w. V. q. from
scoring in this half and it ended with
the ball on p. A. G. 80 yard line. AT
the beginning of the second half the
East Enders went in with vim and
were slowly but surely working the
ball down the field when a blunder was
made which turned defeat in an in
slant into victory. Aull, the P. A. G..
quarter was looking around for the
man to take the ball when Osborne
saw his hesitation and as he had bro
ken through, the opposing line was in
a position to take advantage of it. He
yelled at Aull solve me the ball. "

neither have they forgotten how hard

He is another gentleman whom the
