A statement Of the board Of trustees Of
the West Virginia Conference Seminary,
November 70, 1879;
We, the board Of trustees, assembled at
BuGlthannOn, having made a thorough IN
NestigNtion OF the condition and work OF
the seminary, have found Il TO be IN prOH-
porous condition II has greater NUMBER
OF students enrolled, &5, aiNty-lhree more
than at any previous fall term. The char
acter Of the class room work this year OF
the students has been entirely satistactoty,
The accident, the shooting ol student,
which occurred on the third instnnt, hus
been greatly exaggerated BY newspaper re-
ports, The facts OF which we're that =
company Of students with some OF the
town boys went on the college grounds N
search OF Halloween fun, aud while thus
engaged one was accidentally shot, but not
fatally. The rules OF the seminary most
positively prohibit tho carrying Of iire-
kind 10 which the boards attention has
been called during the history Of the lnsti-
tuition; and as the faculty used such pre-
caution as their Judgment dictated to pre-.
HeIVe tue ElEgNluuh kVVu SuNNINtMNitt N"tNh
has characterized the history Of this sem.
Inary, no intentional wrong could be placed
upon them The board added, however,
such precautionary measures as thought
wise to meet this growing institution,s De
mRIidS and also requiring the rigid enforce
ment OF the rules by tho faculty 30 that the
best interests not only Of the students and
their friends, hut that all Interested should
be preserved. The board reiterated its
former action In regard TO the twentieth
century fund and also heartily endorses
the plans OF President s. i. Boycrs as pre-
sented In the last annual conferences and
endorsed and enforced by that body. The
board regards this as the greatest period
OF educational work nnd opportunities for
the seminary and the West virginia con-
ference, and therefore appeal TO all lovers
OF the Truth throughout our pntroni5inE
territory TO rally BY wore work ana pray;
