the pl Sipal topic of discussion was
was also informal consideration of the
letter of the Marquise De Monsters

on with greater vigor than ever be-
fore. 1t was positively stated that no
action was taken by the trustees re-
garding the Marquise De Monsters
letter.
Tonight Rector O'Connell issued a
statement regarding the affairs of the
university, resolution having been
adopted by the trustees to that effect.
A more formal one will be issued in
the near future to the Catholic pub
lie. The preliminary statement autho-
rized tonight is as follows:
1.-The board of trustees takes this
occasion to thank all those who con-
tributed so generously in the past
year for the support of the university
and thereby exhibited their desire to
correspond to the wishes of the Pope.
The collection last year amounted to
over $1O5,000. Out of this amount and
other contributions, the university was
able to pay off its floating debt, which
amounted to $6S,743, and to pay cur
rent expenses as we'll as to invest $780,
600. In addition to this $4,000 were
contributed by the Knights of Column
bus to found the chair of American
history.
mo money was placed in the hands
of Mr. Waggaman since April, 1908.
and therefore no part of this $780,
900 is involved in the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings brought against him.
1.-The annual collection for the uni
versity is set for the first Sunday in
Advent, which this year will be No
vember 81.
provision was made by the board
to secure the financial colicity of the
university and plans were agreed upon
to enlarge its scope. with particular
reference to the undergraduate course
which was inaugurated this year and
this work will be pushed more vigor-
ously than before"
In an authoritative quarter 1T was
said that the forthcoming statement,
will make no reference to the Mar
mise DeS Monsters MorinVille.
