lively discussion was precipitated be-
tween Governor Budd and Regents
Rodgers and Hallidie when the recon-
mendation for medalist was referred to the
board. The Governor seemed unwilling
to give Hirst, the recommended student
the medal until he had been assured that
it would be accepted. He said that the
gold medal, as a reward for the highest
scholarship in the class, had been refused
before on several occasions, and that he
would do all in his power to prevent the
conferring OF degree on any student who
refused 20 accept it in the future.
Regents Rodgers and Hallidie did not
agree with him. They thought that the
stuueHl "as Tree InordI agent SO lar as
the prize was concerned, and that the
question of accepting or rejecting it should
be wholly optional After few minutes
of cross-hring the matter was referred to
the law committee. Hirst was awarded
the medal and all was serene. He ac-
cepted it when offered later in the day.
The board decided TO make the renting
of lockers in the gymnasium hereafter

tai of lockers, the money 10 be used in the
purchase of new lockers and in the repair
