had, and the legislature is expected to
consider the matter upon the floor at an
early date. This will be necessary on
account of the resolution which has al
ready passed one house providing for
final adjournment on April 3. 1t is be-
cause the members do not believe that
so important and original legislation
should be enacted with such scant con-
sideration that final action upon the
creation of this new board will not be
taken at this session. The probable
ties are that the proposal will be re-
ferred to a select special committee
which will investigate it during the
two years intervening between this as
sembly session and the one in 1904. The
following is the important provision
relative to the scope of the power of
the proposed board, as defined in the
bill as changed by those who are re-
sponsible for the introduction of this
proposed legislation:
1.-THE board shall have power first. to
manage and control the property of the
said several institutions, whether the same
be real or personal, and to direct the invest
ment of permanent funds belonging there
to, and to collect the revenues thereof.

concentrations of the several faculties to
any student who may have completed any
