A matter left over from the June
meeting was taken up and resolE-
tions passed in regard to it. As
will be seen Hon. George c.
Sturglss made to the Board of Re
gents Of the University a very gen
erous proposal at it's meeting in
June last.
1t was just as the Board was about
to adjourn. otherwise it might have
been taken up AMI some action tax
en-. However, the proposals, though
limited to September lst for their
acceptance, we presume would be
opened and the time extended if
other liberal hearted citizens would
join Mr.. Sturgiss in his laudable eff
forts.
The Board unanimously adopted
the following:
Whereas, Hon Geo. e. Sturgiss
with a praiseworthy generosity sub
mItted to the Board various propo
sitions to make certain donations to
the University as follows:
To the Regents of the West Vir-
ginia University:

tenth of the amount needed to con
tinue on the School of Music on it's
present basis until the state shall
make adequate provisions for its
support, and one of six to give $500
each for the support of the Summer
Quarter for this and next year. or
we will be one of 90 to give $2500
each, to build School of Music
Building, or one Of 10 to give like
