Blu One Of the matters OF special Interest
which came up at tile scni-nnnual meet
Ing OF the Richmond College trustees
or Thursday was whether or3no scholar lar
ships 10 young women students at the
college should be given. It wns ,'nani-
rnously decided that donations for sucl,
scholarships should be solicited. rms is
an interesting departure. 5
The snow gtorm Of Wednesday night.
prevented the usual attendance Of out
of-town members. OF those living at a
distance only Rev George Braxton Tay-
tlor y. D.,8of 1Iolllns.$ got to the meet
ing.
ported by President Boatwright, was
gratifying. The sesslon is moving
smoothly along and the attendance Is
good Much interest Is felt in the move

law against selling liquor to students;
enc Dr.. W. y. Hatcher and Dr. w. X
H. Smith were appointed committee

ABANDON CURRY MEMORIAL.
e The report OF the Endowment Commit
tee was submitted by Hon. ]. Taylor
Tllyson, showing the progress of the
work on the Rockefeller conditional en-.
aowment. The report covered the period
IN to February ] , 1901, and showed that
over $42 900 has been collected from Viz
GINA, supplemented by Mr.. Rockefeller's
ri oportionate gift Of 5000. Another In
lstulment is expected from New York S
soon.
Perhaps the most interesting decision
OF the meeting was the aband
of I. the j VI L. & NJ. u Curry Memorial. DR..
Curry had been a most persistent adj
.yocate before the board Of the founding
OF a archaeological school in Richmond,
and in connection with the college. It
vas natural therefore, that,a his death
-thc board should propose school Y OF
this character to be named In his honor.
After the preliminaries were all ar;
ranged. 1t was learned through Mrs.
Connally that Mrs. Curry did not wish
this to be done. and as she oied without
Offering any assistance to the move
3ment, the committee in charge reported
the facts and, with entire unanimity,.
the board decided to let the ma.eer drop.
The board had aipleasant hour socially
over their luncheon furnished by the
ladies of the First Baptist Church.
