presidents secretary. The appointment
is TO date from January i, 1900 and the
salary was fixed at $1,000 per annum.
The fire in the Botanical building has
the university structures, with view Of
making changes where thought necessary
TO prevent conttagration.
Bids for remodeling the gymnasium and
building an auditorium and for the con-
struction of n chemistry building We're
opened. The lowest bid was nearly $500
in excess of the appropriation. Mrs.
Hearst offered to make good the de-
fciency. Her generosity created a windy
debate on the propriety of calling upon
cash. General Barnes expressed the opin-
ion that II was a great imposition on
Mrs. Hearst and humiliating to the Re-
gents. He characterized the whole mat
ter as the hat-passing plan of conduct
ing university"
President Wheeler stated that the lady
was only too glad of the opportunity TO
assist the institution and that IL was un-
wise TO stand In the way of people who
wanted to do good. This is her pleas
be our pleasure TO receive it,"
The discussion ended by the Regents
voting 10 accept Mrs. Hearst's offer. The
gymnasium improvements and the audit
istry building $500. Work will be under
taken at once
