number OF the out-of-town members pres
ent. The faculty of the college held a
very important meeting at o'clock in
the afternoon, and formally asked the
trustees to confer degrees on twenty-one
students in the academic department and
ninety-nine In the law department.
Last evening very delightful and in
spring exercises were held in the college
public hall by the graduating class. and
the day closed with an elegant reception
to the class, their sweethearts, and the
members of the faculty by President
Boatwright and his queenly wife.
THE SCIENCE HALL.
A representative OF the Dispatch had a
most interesting talk with President
Boatwright last night about the new
science hall, soon to be tangible reality.
President Boatwright said the day OF lay
ing the foundation for this structure was
near at hand. The trustees of the col
lege had required the Building and Loan
Committee to get $4,000 in cash and 5000
in good pledges before they could begin
work on the building. This condition, the
President declared, had been practically
complied with, and the definite determi-
nation OF plans for the hall was mainly
what stood now In the committees way.
This obstacle would soon be removed.
WANT TO TALK 1T OVER.
Messrs. Kendall Taylor & Stevens, OF
Boston, the architects who received the
first prize for the best plans, have been
telegraphed for TO come on without de-
lay TO consult with the committee. You
see" the president continued, 'there are
some details to be arranged" The scheme
for the hall and other buildings
was made by the architects In accord
ance with the suggestions OF the COM
mttee, and. of course, without consul
tation with any one. Naturally, there
are yet some minor changes to be made
and consultation TO be held with them
before a contract Is made. President
Boatwright also said that the college
had been receiving a good deal of money
OF late, and from now on until the LIST
Of September. by which time the Bap-
lists of the State had promised to give
the college $4,000. he hoped 1t would
come in steadily The organization for
the canvass of Virginia during the sum-
mer was complete and most thorough
This amount itself would pay the en-
tire cost of the science building The
President didn't say so. but there il little
doubt that as soon as the hall is COM
peted, a now dormitory, which the great
increase in attendance had made alb
solutely necessary, will receive the atten-
ton Of this enterprising committee So.
one by one, as the lovers OF educa
ton give their means, the system of the
material which will soon be determined
on for all time will take a positive and
tangible form.
