impression by the manner in which
they are applying themselves to the

A meeting of the Board was held last
Thursday. and a second meeting was
held to-day. the interval being given
up to committee work. The commit
tees appointed were as follows;
On Reports of Presidents. Instructors,
and Director of the Experiment Sta

Powell.
On Reports Of Auditor and Treasurer
-Messrs. Kunst, Campbell and Nc
Mahon.
On Mechanical Department and
Grounds and Buildings-Messrs. Lee,
Atkinson and Sturgiss.
Reports were received to-day from
each committee but the second and all
the recommendations made by COM
mittees were concurred in by the Board.
The Dean of the Agricultural College
recommended the purchase of another
farm for experiments in dairying and
cattle raising. and the Board took ad-
verse action. This was done for the
two-fold reason that the funds are in
ADEQUATE and that the Pennsylvania
experiment station is working upon
these features. As it is a contiguous
State West Virginia may profit by the
experiments in Pennsylvania, and this
State will devote more attention to eX-
periments in grain, and sheep and
fowl raising. There were so many 9TH
or recommendation in the report of
DR.. Myers that it was referred back
to the Board by the committee.
The Board takes the position that
the limited funds at its disposal should
be expended in elevating the standard
of the University proper, along the lines
of scientific and classical courses rath-
er than the agricultural. Provision
was made for an additional chair in
the department of applied sciences. The
Chair of Psychology, Logic and His
tory has been divided into Psychology,
Logic and Ethics. and History Polit-
icaI Economy and Social Science The
recommendation of President Good
knight that the Commercial School be
made department of the University,
was not approved. Judge Campbell Of
fared a resolution providing for an art
school for instruction in painting and
music which shall not be distinctive

the Commercial and Art Schools will
eventually be made departments.
An appropriation of $500 was made
for an addition to University hall, and
provision was also made for certain
improvements to the building and

mlttee - Arrangements for a
Thorough Organization.
Chicago, June S.-Thirty-two States
were represented at the first meeting
of the provisional committee of the
National Silver Republican party,
which met in executive session at the
Leland Hotel to-day. Besides the
committeeman of the various States
represented over a hundred silver Re-
publicans were present from all parts
of the country.
The States represented were: Ala
bama, Arkansas, California, Colorado,
Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Lou
isiana. Massachusetts, Michigan, Min
nesota, Missouri. Montana, Nebraska,
New Jersey, New York, North Dako-
ia, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsyl-
vania, South Dakota, Utah, Washing
ton, Wisconsin, Wyoming and West
Virginia.
Promptly at one o'clock the commit
tee was called to order by eX-Congress-
man Charles A. Towne. of Minnesota.
Chairman Towne in calling the COM
mittee to order, said in part:
I give you greeting upon the aus
picious opening Of this conference, and
congratulate you and the great cause
wherein we are engaged that so numer-
Gus and representative a body of men
has gathered from a large majority of
the States and Territories to participate
in the first general council Of the silver
Republican party of the United States.
We are happy also to welcome the in
spring presence of a delegation rep
resenting the bi-metallic organization
of the women of the country whose
sympathies are enlisted as ever in be-
half of justice and humanity.
After referring briefly to the circum-
stances attending and the motives in
stigating the inception of the move
ment he spoke of the organization Of
the provisional national committee at
the suggestion of the Republican Sena-
tors and Congressman. Continuing he
said:
Our motives were these: We de-
sire above all things else of immediate
political concern the speedy re-estab-
lishment in the United States of true
bimetalism; the same privilege of free
coinage at the mint for both gold and
silver and absolute equality between
them in all money power, when coin
ed. with the option to every payer,
whether the government or an individ-
ual. to choose what coin shall be the
basis of payment in every instance. We
wished to do all in our power to ad-
vance this happy consumation, and we
realize that if this great cause is to
succeed in the elections of 1898 and 1900
it can do so only through the addition
to the allied armies Of 100000 that
followed the banner of the joint stand
ard in 1896 of at least some hundreds of
thousands of the Republicans of that
contest
I'VE have other plans or may have,
and we believe in other things also;
but the restoration Of silver as basic
or primary money along with gold is
the first and engrossing object of our
activity. and shall remain so until the
crescent of promise shall have rounded
into the full orb of success.
