fss The next topic, THE Claims of
y Braaddust Institute and Other Schools"
was opened for discussion by DEP. B.
Reynolds, who spoke on behalf OF the
: West Virginia u University. He told how
q he university was growing: and that
1.-The day was not far distant when 1000
students would be enrolled Many, as
"a I present, would be Bapt.sts. The uni !.
ftayerslty would continue this way with

3strooms to let out to non Baptists, the
Income OF which would give free rooms
tS3to the Baptist students. He hoped 1t
Swould be the pleasure OF the body to
approve Of the plan. He announced
sStIlat a womans college would shortly
IS be built in connection whit the univer-
sIty. and 1t would receivc7the approval

Y BaptIsts had better turn their eyes to
Morgantown. ..g
