partments in the way of increases In salaries;
out the appropriations were cut down about
100000 A resolution was passed determining
who should have the privilege OF rooming IN
the several college buildings. Since the burn
Ing of'the north wing two years ago most OF
the students have roomed and boarded off the
campus entirely, and last spring the dormi-
tory system officially abolished. In the
light of the action taken by the trustees II
