formally adopted by sections by the Last
syhodlcal conference but the rules of tho
organization compel that final considera-

chahge or any consequence in the old
ana new constitution is the manner of
appointing members Of the faculty. The
power formerly was vested in the SYNOD
as whole, but in the future the board
Oh directors, which is essentially the prom
er body, will have full control.
REV. refer SJoblom. generally known an
atner SJoblom, made a motion that tha
Dr. Hasselquist endowment fund be aboI-
lshed and the assets thereof be trans
Ierred to the general treasury of the
synou. Everybody wanted to speak and
almost everybody did before the matter
was finally disposed of.
HAssELQUIsT FUND. .
The Hasselquist fund is named in honor
or the late Dr., T. N. Hasselouist. unnues-
tlonabiy the greatest figure in the Swed-
Ism Lutheran church in America The in
tention Is to raise SIS, 900, or as much mora
as Is possible, to endow a chair of Angus
lana college as permanent memorial to
the patriarch. whose popularity was
something wonderful
rev. J. Magny, the manager of the
fund, reported that it now contained
sl,34e.49 Then 1t was that Father Sto-
blom made his sensational motion. Prof
=: w. Foss moved that the synod direct
the churches to take an annual collection
Tor this fund. and in order to make the
order more explicit, Dr. Swensen moved
that the special Hasselquist collection be
taken In February. Both motions pre-
vailed.
Three more ballots were taken This
morning In the attempt to fill the Yacan--
cy IN the board of directors of Aueustana
college. caused by the death of Oliver
stephenson 1t developed into, a contest
between Illinois and Minnesota, in which
the latter finally won. ]. A Olander. OF
West Union, Mimi, was elected by 81
votes to IS votes for G. r. Chindblom. OF
Chicago. A rising vote of thanks was
accorded to Gustaf Johnson, of Altoona,
Ill., retiring member of the board OF
directors of the college.
By unanimous consent, Samuel Ander-.
son, of Chicago, was allowed to reopen
the question of the presidents salary.
which was fixed last Friday at $500. This
is not sufficient for Dr. Norelius. The
Rev. Mr.. 'Franzen called attention to, the
fact that DR.. Norelius was the official
historian of the synod and moved that
his salary for that position be fixed at
500 per annum.
. Some contend that the Augustana book
concern. which profited by the works of
Dr.. Norelius. should pay him more. This
agreement appealed to the majority and
action on the presidents salary was de-
ferred nutil the affairs of the book con-
Germ were regularly before the synod.
Mr.. Franzen's motion will then be re-
newed and will undoubtedly be carried.
