no election at this meeting the board
agreed to drop the matter and take 1t
UP again ut the meeting on July 9th.

of satisfaction that this had been done,
and hopes were expressed that when

be practically unanimous u some sulta-
bic man. Among the me- hers of the
board-potn PRIMROSE and Winston men
there was Il strong sentiment favor
able to dropping both candidates and
taking up Il new man. by both trustees
and outsiders Yesterdays action Is con
strued as a defeat of the present candi-
dates.
The next most important thing done
nv the bO;lii was 10 separate the cAaifS
OF agriculture and horticulture, with Il
full professor. at 81 500 Il year, at the
head of each. This will make another
vacancy---a PROFESSOR of agllcultufe-to

that meeting it is expected to eject poth
a president and all members OF the
faculty.
1t will be remembered that it was de-
cided by the Reorganization committee.
at it's first meeting, TO combine these two
chairs under Prof. Massey, but the board
decided that this would not be wise
SO they gave Prof. Massey the char OF
horticulture ami left the chair OF agrl'
culture 10 be filled at next meeting.
The budgets for the next year were
adopted and the salary list passed ON,

to show a clear balance sheet at the enl
OF the year

OF the football and baseball teams to
be absent from the college as mulch

part. been harmonious and good feeling
has prevailed
