|FEW CHANGES WERE MADE IN THE FACUl1'
C. A. Richardson Of Roswell, presi
J dent of the Board Of Regents of thu
New Mexico College of Agriculture an(
Mechanic Arts, spent a few hours il
, this city yesterday while on his way
home from Mesilla Park where he at.
tended the commencement exercises OF
the college. There We're four graduates
this year, one of whom was Santa Fe
young woman, Miss Maud McFie, a
daughter of Judge and Mrs. John r.
McF'ie. The remaining three graduates
were Miss Ina Nelson of Denver, Miss
Frances Ford of Las Cruces, and @. B.
Metcalf of Grant county. The exercises
were a complete success. The grad
yates were all especially strong Miss
McFie's thesis was "A History of the
Mesilla Valley" which was exceptional
ly interesting 1t was well prepared
and eloquently delivered.
| At the meeting of the Board of Re-
gents, Professor Dickinson of The Ohio
State University at Columbus, was en-
ployed to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Miss Davis as head of
the department Of English; Professor
Hare who has been assisting in the
department of chemistry for a number
of years, was promoted to the head of
the department to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Professor
professor of chemistry of Dupaw Uni
versity at Greencastle, Ind.
The corps of instructors on music
was increased by the employment of
Miss Nora Murphy of Hillsboro, who is
a graduate of Denver school, to have
charge Of voice culture, and Mrs Dim
of the instrumental music.
With these exceptions the faculty of
the year Just closed was re-employed. |
The year closed successfully and the
closing exercises were of great interest
and of much merit.
Mr. Richardson says that serious |
question confronts the board of regents |
because of the absence of funds for
needed additions to the girls dormi-
tory, the boys dormitory and the lib
rary building. The board will likely |
meet some time during the present
month for the purpose of seriously con-
sidering the actual need of additional
buildings and, If possible, to devise
some means of at least enlarging the
girls dormitory between now and the
of the next school term
on September 8.
The Pecos Valley is very prosperous,
says Mr.. Richardson, and is rapidly de-
veloping.
Rev. w. A. Cooper of this city, who
is also member of the Board Of Re-
cents, has returned from the COM
exercises. In speaking of
the institution, Mr.. Cooper said:
"The College Of Agriculture and Me-
chanic Arts at Mesilla Park has just
closed the most successful year in it's
in it's equipments, best in
Its teaching force, and having the
largest number of students. The grad
uating exercises consisted in part of
selections taken from most carefully
theses by the graduates, each

nises to surpass the year just closed.
Ill but two or three rooms in the

more room very much. The alumni as
