been below two billions of bushel-,

The UNIVERSITY ENDOWMENT

We are more than pleased to learn
of the movement. conceived SOM
time during the past summer, the
object OF which is the raising OF an
endowment fund for the University
of Virginia, to be known IA the
Thomas Jefferson Memorial Fund. y
1t has long been realized by those
interested in our great university
that the one chief draw back to this
great institution OF learning was the
lack OF sufficient endowment to
keep it abreast of the other great
Q lucational institutions OF the coun-
try and TO enable it TO attain that
high ideal which its great founder
b I'd mapped out for 1t. With view
to enabling the university TO attain
this end and to put it on footing
with other institutions OF its kind,
the Board of Visitors decided that a
change in the organization Oh its
management was necessary and elect
ed president, who should be it~
executive head and who could give
his entire time to improvement in its
management.
The beginning OF DR.. Alderman's
term OF Office as first president OF the
University OF Virginia, marked as IL
is by this wise step, is propitious aud
must mark the beginning OF bright
future. The personnel OF the men
who are behind the movement and
give it their endorsement is sufficient
80 guarantee its success. President

letter of approval to Thomas Nelson

The Montana Meteor Makes 45 Min
utes' Flight at Worlds Fair.
st. Louis. Nov. 23.-After remaining
in the air for As minutes only. for a
brief period of which it was propelled
by its owner, the Montana Meteor, the
airship designed and constructed by
Thomas Benbow. of Columbus. Mont.
was brought safely to the ground in
an open field three miles southeast of
the Worlds Fair aerodrome.
The airship was propelled by the in
ventor, who stated after the flight that
he considered It very successful in the
light of the accident that happened to
his machinery. A leak in the gasoline
tank allowed all the fluid to escape
and rendered his motor useless shortly
after he had started the flight.
Benbow was also handicapped by
having too much gas in his balloon.
and il was necessary for him to allow
some Of the hydrogen to escape during
the flight. For that reason he did not
start the motor until he had drifted
with the wind for nearly a mile.
