In the report OF the Regents meet
ing at PaTkersburg the following is
given by the Sentinel on the afternoon
before adjournment:
At the meeting of the Board Of re-
gents of.the West Virginia University
this morning the resignation of Prof.
Z. G. Miller was accepted and com
plimentary resolution in regard TO him
and his work was adopted
Regulations concerning the school
of music were adopted and a teacher
for vocal music was authorized to be
employed
A number Of chairs were re-arrang-
ed and the work distributed among
those now employed, with no increase
Of professors or expense.
The case OF James Moreland, who
was dismissed from the cadet corps
without hearing and, as alleged
without cause, was expected to come
up to-day, but has not done so yet.
Neither has the board considered the
matter of appropriations to be asked
for
Much of the time to-day was taken
up in auditing accounts.
At the meeting Wednesday after
noon the Board had under considera-
tion the recommendation of Presi-
dent Raymond for the appropriations
for the next two years. Appropria-
tions for all the state institutions are
made biennially ty the legislature and
two years allowances are made at one
time Two years ago the amount
asked for by the board was $500, 900
of which the legislature allowed $780,
600. This year the report Of the
President shows that the amount
which he would like TO have is $780,
900, which is roughly a fourth OF the
revenue Of the state. 1t is hardly
probable that the board will recon-
mend any such appropriation. In
fact, in the part OF the Expenditures
gone over so far, the increase asked
for over the last appropriation is very
slight The appropriations for the
running expenses Of the institution
have been passed by the board and the
increase which they will recommend
in this one department is less than
five thousand dollars over the last APP
preparations. This is made necessary
by the increase ia the attendance, the
growth of the institution and the
opening of the new library. The rest
of the appropriations will be mainly
for new buildings. A dormitory for
girls and a mansion for the President
are among the new structures recon-
mended by the President. The entire
schedule Of appropriations will proba-
bly, be passed upon to-day or this even
ing.
