When the board of trustees of Black
Hills college learned that President
Lymer would not recall his resignation
it was accepted, and the board there
upon unanimously adopted the follow
ing testimonial:
Whereas, DIR. Elmer E. Lymer has
this day severed his connection with
Black Hills college by resignation, we
take this opportunity to express our
high appreciation of his sterling quail
ties and the valuable services he has
rendered this institution. For nine
years he has been prominently con-
nected with this college; first as pro-
fessor and vice-president and for the
past two and one-half years as presi.
dent of the faculty. These years have
been most trying years by reason of
the financial embarrassment of the
school. In his capacity as its presi-
dent he has borne it's heaviest burdens
courageously and honorably, often
through heroic personal sacrifice
During these years we have learned to
know him thoroughly. He is natur-
al teacher. of ripe and thorough schol-
arship, whose example is always an in
spiration to faculty and student, by
whom he is much beloved. His high
ch aracter as a Christian gentleman
and his able and faithful services at
the head of the college, have made i'm
pressions for good upon the cause of
higher education in the Black Hills
that will continue to bear fruit for
many years to come.
He is leaving the institution wholly
without our solicitation and contrary
to our expectations, and we give him
our hearty Godspeed.
Dated Hot Springs, S. d., July 6,
1899.
1t is probable that DIR. Lymer and
family will leave Hot Springs in about
six weeks, though he has not yet fully
determined where he will go, having
different propositions under consider.
alton. He has large circle of warm
friends here who sincerely regret that
he is to leave and who heartily endorse
the above resolutions. The departure
of his estimable wife and daughter will
also be source of general regret.
They are exceptionally fine people and
will be greatly missed.

PROBABLE PIPE DREAMY
8. f. Wilson, of Hot Springs. Denies the
Reported Deal for the Odd Fell
lows Home.

Reported Deal for the Odd Fell
lows Home.
Hot Springs, June 21.-(Special to
the Argus Leader.)-I recently noticed
a communication from Hot Springs in
the Argus. Leader, and was informed
that the same item appeared in other
daily papers stating that ga movement
is being started to get the Odd Fellows
of the state to purchase the college
grounds and make home for disabled
Odd Fellows, and that the order has
$4,000 on hand for such purpose"
Who this astutc contributor to daily
newspapers is, or where he procured
the startling information that the or
der has $4,000 to invest in a home, or
that the movement on behalf of Hot
Springs, that he announces has any
eXistance in fact or in the imagination
of any sane person, am unable to
even conjecture. happen to be a
member of the Board of Trustees of
the College and also of the Board of
Trustees of the Odd Fellows Home and
have been n member of both boards
continuously since they were created
and organized, and this was not only
the first intimation that i had that
any such move was on foot, but have,
since seeing the item, taken pains to
inquire of persons connected with the
order and others connected with the
college and who are in position to
know, and am unable to find any one
who ever heard or thought of such a
scheme until it was seen in the item
referred to. l therefore in behalf of
both institutions and on my own re-
sponsibility, take the liberty of saying
that the statements made by your con
tributor are purely visionary and
wholly untrue. Instead of the order
having $4,000, it has less than three
thousand dollars in it's Home Fund.
No special effort has vet been made to
secure fund for this purpose, and
while it has grown gradually and
steadily since it was started, nobody
that has anything to do with it has any
desire to invest it in a college, and no.
body that has anything to do with any
college in the Black Hills wants to
trade it OFF.
The person writing the communica-
ton referred to is certainly not friend
ly to either the college or the home
enterprise and could lay claim to moth.
ing beyond being a "fool friend'' tc
Hot Springs. For while Hot Springs
may, when the proper time arrives
present her advantages and claims fol
the location of the Home, it will no
make fool of itself by offering t.
trade off an institution that it is a
deeply attached to as it is to Blacl
Hills College, nor will it, before ther
is any serious thought of locating tn
Home, precipitate fight that woul'
probably result in defeating or at leas
in retarding materially the worthy pro
ject of establishing and building al
Odd Fellows Home in South Dakota.
Very Respectfully,
S. E. WILSON.
