The SUIT is brought against the later
organized University company and
the old company seeks to recover the

was made with the Miehle Printing
Press Co. for one OF their latest and

be done on this press and in the

MAKES AN IMPORTANT MOVE
Western Business College Will Be
Amalgamated With University
Commercial Department.

Dr. Thomas Nicholson, president
OF Dakota University, announces that
as the result of negotiations which
have been in pogress of some little
time, the school which has been con-
Quoted under the Management OF J..
L. Wingfeld and Mr.. B. A. O'Meal-
ey, and known as the Western Busi-
ness College, has been taken under
the University and after the close of
the present school year the work will
be amalgamated. The name of the
joint institution will be The Mitch
ell Business College, department of
Dakota University, which is the
title under which the school of COM
merce Of the University has been
known in the past. The manage
ment Of the Western Business College
takes over to the University prac-
tically all Its working equipment.
They are to have four rooms on the
first floor of the main college build
ing, additional to those now occu-
pied by the commercial school Of the
college Several important improve
ments will be made in the work and
full announcements will be made In
the forthcoming catalogue and in
printed matter soon to be issued.
After the close of the present year,
Mr. Wingfield will be employed by
the college as principal of the Com
mercial school and Mr.. O'Mealey
will be associated with him, as his
assistant and as art penman, etc.
1t has not been definitely decided
whether the down town school will
continue for the spring term or
whether the students now enrolled
there will be given an opportunity
to complete the years work at the
college. The nam contract for the
amalgamation takes effect at the be.
ginning of the next school year.
There are numerous details Of the
work which will be of interest but
which will be announced later.
Both Of these schools have had a
successful career and each has had a
very respectable number of students.
The joining of the two will make a
very strong school. The number of
students will be largely increased
and.thus will add the prestige of
numbers. The combined equipment
will make one OF the best business
colleges in the country and all the
strength of the teaching force of the
Western Business College combined
with the advantages OF the manage
ment and teaching force of the Uni
versity will make an institution of
which Mitchell and the constituency
OF Dakota University may we'll be
proud. We shall hope to give furth-
er information from time to time
as the development and progress Of
this new movement brings it out.
