The charter of this. institution pro-
vides that the auditing committee shall
be appointed, n by the board of trus-
tees and two by the conference, to
serve until the next session Of the
annual conference" Messrs. Carter,
Baker and Beers were appointed two
years ago, and rendered a verbal re-
port to the last conference. The old
conference considered that in that
case, although not technically accord
ing to the charter, they would hold
v until their successors were ap-
pointed. They have therefore prepared
the document under consideration.
While we do not care to discuss the
accuracy Of the statements submitted
in this pamphlet, we greatly regret
that the author did not call upon DR..
session in order that a report based
upon all data o%btainable might have
been prepared, which would have been
fairer in spirit as we'll as in conclu,
| sions reached.
When DR.. Robertson came to his
present position he found $685. 900 Of in.
~debtedness, the building unfinished,
the student body dissipated, the credit
to the institution gone, and the good
name of the church sorely threatened.
He went to work and almost single
! handed has raised the money to pay
the debts, complete a splendid build
ing, build up a school of considerable
proportions, restored the credit of the
corporation and saved the good name
kota. Often those associated with him
have not been so situated as to assist
in carrying out the details of the fnan-
cial arrangement. He has, therefore,
at times omitted the red tape, but has
grandly done the work, and vel his
critics admit that no breath of suspi.
cion attaches to him as to the integ,
rity of his financial administration.
We therefore recommend that this con.
ference declare its absolute confidence
in his integrity and appreciation of his
self-sacrificing service, and u com
mendation of his work. We also pledge
our loyalty to the affiliated enterprise
at Grand Forks, and to him as its pres.
ident.

President Robertson's Plan to, Amalqa.
mate Educational Institutions.
The action of the Methodist confer
ence at Fargo with reference to the
! amalgamation of the state school main.
tanned by the church with the state
university was a distinct victory for
President Robertson, who has worked
for the success of this plan ever since
last winter, and in whose way many
obstacles have been thrown.
The Red River Valley university wal
located at Wahpeton when it was first
established, and while it has had some
measure of success there, this success
has not, in the opinion of the president
and many others who are familiar with
it's workings, been commensurate with
the money and energy expended. 1t
was remote from the bulk of the Meth
odist population of the state, and the
burden of maintaining in a new state
an Independent religious school in
competition with the splendidly en-
dowed state institutions was becoming
heavier each year, a2d it was felt that
operated as a separate institution the
| college could not be expected to be
more than a small and poorly equipped
institution, drawing patronage from
the few families which were willing to
forego the, greater advantages in the
state schools through a feeling of 10y.
atty to the church.
The plan of the amalgamation con.
templated the entire independence of
the two institutions of each other, but
the students in the religious college
| are to have the advantage of the free
secular instruction afforded by the
state, while taking under the direction
of the church authorities courses of
instruction leading up to the divinity
degree, each school giving credit for
work done in the other.
The advantage of this plan will be
to relieve the church of the burden of
the secular instruction of its young
people. enabling it to devote it's entire
educational fund to religious instruc.
ton.
1t Is too late in the season for any
building to be undertaken for the col
lege this year, and the funds Of the in
stitution have not been brought up to
the desired point, but many of the for
mer students in the church college are
now taking work in the state univer-
sity, which can be done for a year or
ore without interfering with their flu.
ture course. Buildings will be erected
next year.
