The board pissed the following
resolutions. relative to the inaugural
address of President Nicholson:
Whereas, The inaugural address of
President Ihos Nicholson is an ad-
dress of extraordinary merit. a mas
terry presentation OF the necessity of
due attention TO the religious nature
and ideal OF man in amy adequate
scheme OF education an irrefutable
argument for the existence of the
Christian college as such. and a
notable contribution to the entire
cause of Christian education: and
Whereas, We believe its pnblica-
ton and widespread distribution will
contribute to increased enthusiasm
for religious instruction in all
schools, a renewed devotion to dis
tinctly Christian colleges because of
an enlarged conception of the mis-
sion of the church schools. and be-
cause this enlarged ideal will result
in a more intelligent and constant
and abundant support of Christian
institutions, we believe that this
board of trustees will do the entire
cause OF Christian education a SER
vice and will greatly assist the work
and influence of our own Institution
by publishing and widely distributing
this inaugural address.
We therefore recommend. that a
committee of three, of whom the
president Shall be one. be appointed
with power to negotiate for its pub
location and dissemination in any
way which may seem to them wisest
and most %eNpedient.

At their meeting the alumni unan-
imously voted the endowment of an
alumni chair in the department Of
economies and history, the same to
be completed, in the sum of S25, 600
on or before the quarter centennial
in 1910. The board OF directors APP
pointed a number of important COM
mlttees and transacted a large
amount of private nus ness relative
to ways and mean for finishing the
new building, the agencies for the
further prosecution of the financial
campaign and the more thorough and
business like management of the
new and enlarged interests which
come with the great new building.
The work of President Nicholson
dullng his first year with the college
met with the highest approximation of
the board of directors, and the very
exhaustive and complete report that
he made to those officials in showing
them what had been accomplished
in detail impressed them more than
ever with his fitness for the posi-
tion One member of the board ex-
pressed III rs his opinion that it
seemed like a special favor of a kind
providence that the footsteps of Dir.
Nicholson should be directed TOWARD
Dakota University, and the entire
board feels that With him at the

~iieutenants and assistants that the
University will rise to a very high
position in the educational councils
of the state. In the short year that
Or. Nicholson has been at the head
of the institution he has proven him
self everything that the people
hoped for.
1t has peen noticeable, too, that
on every suitable occasion the trust
ees, the alumni and the new presi-
dent have lost no opportunity of en-
pressing great and evidently sincere
tributes to the excellent work of ex-
president, DIR. w. [. Graham, who
has so faithfully served the institu.
ton for the past ten years. He is
sure OF an ever %inceasing love and
respect from those who know best
the excellent work which he has
done during these trying years.
