At the afternoon session of the trus-
tees the report Of the committee APP
pointed in the morning session on the
recent trouble was received and the
following action taken:
THE trustees carefully considered
the recent disturbance among the stu
dents and while they deeply regret such
an occuranCc they are unanimously of
the opinion that the action of the
faculty in suspending the sophomore
class was so just and so lenient that
there is no occasion for further action.
They are also unanimous in their opin
ion that a high standard of discipline
should be maintained in the college,
The following resolve was received
from DR.. King and referred to the fac
ui:y and power given to act:
That in the judgment of the board
ol trustees lllt SluutlllS W nv Illltii' "
study medicine should be allowed to
take regular courses in medical schools
under the direction of the faculty and
receive credit therefor as regular
work. -
This means, in brief, that the stu
dents can take studies at the Maine
Medical School or other similar insti
| tuition on the consent of the faculty
and that credit will be given for this
| just as for regular courses at Colby so
| that such students can graduate with
| their class and receive their diplomas.
| WHAT regular medical study they take
will advance them just so much on
their regular medical course and
shorten it so that they will be able to
i get into active practice in their profess
sion earlier than they can at present
Whether this course will be adopted
| depends on the faculty.
| The prudential committee was au-
thoriZed to have the construction of the
| central heating plant commenced at
once and the sum of 100000 will be al
lowed for this. The sum of $4,000 will
also be allowed for general repairs.
the president of the board of trus-
|
were appointed a committee to take
such means as may be possible to in
crease the endowment of the college to
$l.G00,o00. Another meeting of the trus-
tees will be held, Wednesday forenoon.
Another very enjoyable band concert

to this effect was taken at the time
The choice of an artist had been gov
erned by Mr.. Drummond's known es-
TEEN for Walter Gilman Page of Bos-
ton. He had admired his work a grea
deal and had been instrumental in get
ting commissions for him and it We!
known that if the choice were to have
been made by Mr.. Drummond himsel
ne would have selected Mr.. Page
! Hence the commission was given t.
: him.
, When it was known that n portrai
was to be painted Mr.. Drummond's fra
lternity wished to contribute Shar
/ and this was accepted, so the pctur
: | is the gift of the trustees, the frater

death and from memory.
