REGENTS QUIT.
Board winds up its business and
adjourns on Thursday.

What They did While Here-AIl The
Business Before Them is Finished for
the First Time-Anditor's Salary
Raised-Changes Made In the Of
ficials Plans for the New Buildings
Adopted Other Business Transact
ed.
The board of regents have finished
their work and gone home. They say
that for the first time in the history
Of the board everything was attended
to before the adjournment was taken.
This was helped along in great meas
ure by working until five o'clock in
the morning on the first days session.
Among the items of business trans
acted on the first day was. the increas-
ing OF the salary OF the Auditor from
four hundred to nine hundred dollars
a year. This increase was omitted
through an over sight on the part of
the President of the board who did
not give 1t TO us when the rest of the
fact were obtained.
The matters receiving attention
during the closing hours were as fol-
lows:
The clothing contract was let for
the coming year TO S. d. Hirschman
aud Company on the same conditions
and rates as heretofore.
The plans for mechanical hall, a
library and museum building and an
armory were adopted. These were
the ones drawn by Wilson Brothers
and Company of Philadelphia and
were taken with notifications from
the original drawings submitted. 1t
was ordered that the ArmQrY as far as
possible be constructed of stone, the
library exclusively Of stone and the
mechanical building of stone, terra
Gotta and brick.
The executive committee was an-
thorized TO receive bids and let the
contract as early as practicable.
The President Of the board together
with Regents Lee and Mcmahon were
appointed the executive committee.
Prof. A. j. Hare was elected secre-
tary of the Board and Registrar of the
University.
George G. Sturgiss was elected Pres
ident of the Board.
Prof. Emory was elected Superin-
tendent of Buildings and Grounds and
he is to see to the construction of the
three new buildings.
The board then adjourned.

NO TEAM.
The Proposed Base Ball Team Will
Hardly be Organized this Summer.

The attempt TO organize a profess
sional team here this summer will
hardly be go. Several of the Uni
yersity players have already gone
home and the rest are getting ready
TO go. 1t was thought that the team
would have for its nucleus the best
players from the Varsity and that it
would be filled up from other sources.
This is matter of considerable re-
greet as everyone hoped that we would
have fine team on the diamond dur
ing the summer. Seneca will be our
only representative but it is expected
to improve as the season grows older
and they have had more practice.
This is what has handicapped them
thus far during the playing.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
Work of the United States Con-
tin ues in West Virginia

Meridians Established in Forty three
C0unties-Great Saving to the State
Work of State Survey has not Been
Paralyzed--Great Mistake on the
Part of the Legislature Remarks on
the Matter.
WAsHIGToN, ID. c., June 2S.-The
work of the United States Geologi-
cal Survey continues in West Nir-
ginia, notwithstanding the failure
OF the plan for cooperation with the
State survey and the total discon.
tinuance of the latter on account of
the refusal Of the last State Legisla-
ture to appropriate the funds asked
for to carry on the work. In 1898
the United States Survey establish
ed true meridians in forty three
counties, that work already having
been done in twelve counties pre-
viously These meridians are mark
ed by stone monuments, set up at
the county seats, to which are at
fixed metal tablets with the APP
propriate inscription. The cost Of
these monuments was Sl505 in all,
of which West Virginia contributed
$500, the remainder being paid by
the Federal Government.
Those who have charge of the
government topographic and geolo-
gical survey in West Virginia re
greet that the State survey should
have been discontinued PRof. /. C..
l. c. WHITE, the State geologist, had
arranged for the cooperation of the
United States survey in the prep
aration of a complete topographic
map of the State to be completed in
twelve years. This would have cost
a considerable sum, as the expenses
of the United States survey alone
would have been $4,000 year, in
addition to the cost OF maintaining
the State survey. which was estima
ted at S2O, 900 more. "But the value
Of sncn a survey would have been
immensely more than its cost, said
one of the topographers of the Uni
ted States survey. II think West
Virginia has taken a backward step
in abolishing its State survey. 1t
is supposed by some that the United
States survey does all that State
survey can do, but this is not true
The United States furnishes the
base map and supplies general in
formation about the resources of the
State, but it does not advertise par
ticular properties nor go into the
smaller details of local topography
and mineral and other advantages,
all of which furnishes an ample field
for the work of the State geologist
West Virginia has suffered much
delay in development of her resourc-
es through failure to advertise them
This is something that the State
survey can do For example, Penn
sylvania has spenta million dollars
in surveys and is spending thou
sands more Maryland has also en-
tered upon the work OF making
hHoWH mex mluefdl anu OtHer Ie
sources to the world If the Vir-
ginias had published years ago
ago the Rogers survey made
at the same time as that of
Pennsylvania, their mineral and
other resources would have been in
a. much more advanced stage of de-
velopment than they are"

PRESIDENTS RECEPTION.
Large Crowd Attends the Clos
ing Event at the University.

The Receiving Line Long One-Re-
cepti0n Room was Crowded all Even
ing-Warmth of the Weather was the
Only DlaWback-Musi BY the Uni
yersity Orchestra.
The closing exercises at the Uni
versity were concluded by the recep-
ton given in the Gymnasium last
night. The attendance was very
large and the floor was crowded from
an early hour until eleven o'clock.
The guests were received by long
line headed by President and Mrs.
Sturgiss, Mr.. and Mrs. Mcmahon,
Regents Lee and Eastman and DR.
and Mrs. Raymond.
The members of the faculty and
their wives together with the mem
bers Of the Experiment Station staff
with their wives and all connected
in any way officially with the Uni.
versity were supposed to be IN the
receiving line and they appeared in
it at sometime during the evening.
The evening was very warm and
this distracted in large degree
from the pleasure of the affair which
in other ways was a success. The
crowd in attendance Was representa-
town in the state and the fact that
the dance was not held in the Uni
versity buildings did not detract in
the least from the pleasure of the af-
fair.
The reception began at eight-thir
ty and the dancing began short
time later. The intermission took
place at midnight and the dance was
then resumed and kept up until far
into the morning. Twenty numbers
were on the program and each one
of these was highly enjoyed.
Had the evening been cooler the
occasion would have been more de-
lightful but even this factor was not
allowed to interfere with the enjoy
ment of the people present.
The ball room was an animated
scene while the dancing was going

versity and corps colors together
with a profusion of National Colors.
They reflected much credit on those
having the matter of decoration in
charge.
The music was delightful and was
furnished by the Hartigan orchestra
which is admittedly the finest must
cal organization of the city. 1t is in
great demand and never did better
than it did last night.
The military men who attended
the bali were in uniform and their
gay attire added much to the brill
fancy to the scene.
The dance was in charge of the
cadet officers and they have shown
that they know exactly how to con-
duct an affair OF this kind. John Lantz
of the Wallace House left no oppor
tunitv pass to make his guests en-
10y themselves as much as possible
and he succeeded admirably.
The dance was such great sue
cess that it will be made an annual
feature Of Commencement week.

COMMENCEMENT BALL.
B rilliant Society Event on
Thursday Night.


the State attended the Affair which
is "a Success in Every Respect Men
Appear i'm Uniform Cadet Officers
Have Charge Music, Decorations
and Refreshments are Elegant.
The Commencement Ball held at
the Wallace House Thursday night
was one Of the greatest social events
that has ever taken place in Nor
gantown. There was very large
crowd of visitors and the society
people of the state were very well
represented.
People were here from every large
tive one.
The University orchestra fur
nished the music and this was de-
lightful feature Of the evenings en-
tertainment.
The reception began just before
nine o'clock. There were no refresh
ments served
With this reception the UNIVERSE
ty year ended and the big school is
now closed down until the reception
OF the aew students in July. The
indications are that there will be
quite a large attendance here this
summer and successful quarter
will be mad.
The exercises during Commence
ment have lacked much of the snap
OF former Years and this has been
due in great measure to the heat
which has prevented people from en-
joying themselves as they would
have done had the weather been
kinder to them and not smiled SO
warmly.
