lis Tuesday.

The Board of Trustees Met in Indianapo-
lis Tuesday.
The semi-snnual meeting of the board
of trustees of DePauw University oc-
CURED at Indianapolis. The financial
condition of the institution was dis
cussed. Some time ago, move was
started to secure an endowment of
100000 in the state, and Chancellor w.
IL. Hickman, who has had charge of
work, made his report. Over 100000
has been subscribed during the year,
and in the last six months S65, 900 has
been collected. Chancellor Hickman
said that he had no doubt but that they
would be successful in securing the
half million or more before very long.
1t is reported that the university is In
better shape financially than it has been
for several yeH.c. The placing of sew
eral business men on the board of trus-
tees, combined with the unceasing ef-
forts of the ministerial gentlemen who
have been in charge, has given fresh
impetus to everything connected with
the management. 1t is said that no
changes will be made in the faculty
now, as the work being accomplished is
satisfactory as whole.

league will consist of only eight clubs,
instead of twelve. Louisville and
Cleveland in the west, and Baltimore
and Washington in the east, have been
dropped The star players in these
four cities will be picked up by other

be quite evenly matched and that the
