AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
Matters Attended to by the Board of
Trustees.

Logan. Oct. 4-The Agricultural coll
Iege board convened Saturday morning,
". S Mccormick presiding. The new
sewer system Just completed and the
new buildings nearing completion were
inspected by the board. Now that the
sewerage has been changed and en-
Iarged the college is in perfect sanitary
new shops and laboratories by steam
and 15-horse power electric motor
viii be used instead of steam power,
electricity being cheaper than the
steam.
The mechanic arts departments are
now in fun blast and it is safe to saw
that there is nothing of the kind in
this western country that viii compare
with it. Already % students have been
registered for carpentry and black
smithing alone
In these departments two hours
daily are devoted to class work in Eng
nsh and mathematics. The balance of
the time is given TO the shops.
The action of the faculty last year
in suspending a, large number of stu
dents who were disposed to trifie their
time away, has had a most salutary
effect. 1t viii be gratifying to parents
in the future to know that if their chill
dren are permitted to remain at the
college it is because they are studious
and using their time to the best adj
vantage. As the capacity of the col
lege viii be taxed to its utmost this
year, the faculty feels that it can raise
the grade work and exclude those VINO
are not thoroughly in earnest and in
dustrous.
Request was made by the county
commissioners that the college meet
the funeral expenses OF William Rich
ards. who recently lost his life by the
caving in of the walls of the trench
on the college grounds. AS the college
was not conducting the work. which
was let TO contractors, and as the stip-
ulation of the contract was that the
college was to be released from all re
SponSibilities of any accidents done TO
Workmen. the board concluded that il
had no authority TO eXpend money for
that purpose.
The basement has been provided with
new floors. and with additional win
dows. SO that the change in that part
by the Introduction of light and the
sums rays will add greatly to the pleas
ure and health of the students who
have to work there.
The new library is one of the most
pleasing features of the college at tla
present year. Three rooms have been
provided. one for book stacks, enc for
newspapers, and one for gen@ral
reading and study ROOM Accon1moda-
lions at the college were never SO good.

To date fewer people have gone from
Cache Valley TO conference than for

cause.
