THE REGENTS.
A Partial List of the Things
They Did While Here.

! New AUDITOR Tor the University, Mr..
s. G.. Chadwiek-Th Students are
Recognized and a Number of Things
Done that They viii Rejoice TO Hear
of.
The beard of regents has finished
its labors and has adjourned. They
did everything with great delibera
ton and when they had finished they
had done but little that was of very
great interest. No scenes of wire
pulling or indiscriminate firing of
professors marked the session and
the meeting was free from the feat
ures which formerly made a session
of the regents nine days wonder.
The board looked into everything
about the institution very closely
and they took the same ideas away
with them that the people who are
thoroughly conyersant with the stu
alton have held for some time. They
know everything that is to be known
about the University and its man
agement The members are very
much pleased with the way the col
lege is coming out and the great in
crease in the attendance has been
very gratifying to them OF course.
The sessions Of the board were
harmonious and the members are
all agreed on the course which they
will follow while members of the
board This is thing that is full
of the promise for the University.
The thing that took the board so
long to finish the business that cam c
before it was the intention to know
fully what they were doing before
any action was taken. They wished
to fully understand the situation
before any action whatever was
made This is very commendable and
the state can find but little fault
with the way the members have so
far performed their stewardship.
The future holds the promise that
whenever any action is demanded
by circumstances that the members
will not hesitate to perform it.
From the expression of the var
ious regents it is thought that the
next meeting that they will hold
will contain more Of the old time
fire and interest than the one just
closed.
Following is a digest OF the pro-
ceedings of the Board:

versity Daily.
