WESLEY COLLEGE NOTES.
Results Of Meeting on April % I'm.
pOrtant.

A meeting of great import to Wes-
ley college followers was held in this
city on April rs. The meeting was
held in the Commercial club rooms
and lasted from early in the morning
until O'Clock in the evening.
After much discussion it was de-
cided to purchase strip of land north
of the university campus, extending
from the coulee bank one half mile
east to the roadway. 1t was also de-
cided to establish a conservatory of
music in connection with the school,
and Professor George Stout and wife,
OF Berlin, Germany, were selected to
have control over this department of
the work. Professor Stout was for
several years violin instructor in the
Fargo College conservatory, so the
trustees are assured of an able hand
to take charge.
The next annual meeting will take
place on June 13, at which time the
building committee composed of Pres
ident Robertson and N. G. Larimore,
assisted by e. J. Lander and two
others from the Grand Forks CONNER
cial club, will submit its report on the
building scheme and this report will
then be passed upon. Building oper-
atoms will be commenced as soon
after that date as possible.

PREPs WON VICTORY.
Commercial Lambs Led Meekly to
Slaughter,

The preparatory baseball team, I'M
der the generalship of Melvin Bemis,
gathered in the scalps of the CONNER
cial lambs On Wednesday by very
large marginS22 to II. The score in
dicates that both the teams are ex-
ceedingly strong with the stick as no
errors were made on either side.
Today the Arts and Laws are fight
ing it out on the Varsity field. The
Arts have particularly strong team
with Kyllo, Besse, Wenzel, Fawcett
and Sandlie on the score sheet, and
they ought to make an easv winning.
The Engineers and Props are now
tied for first place on the percentage
tables and if the Arts come out OF the
struggle today unscathed, they will
also be up among the top-notchers.

rules and regulations passed on by
the Athletic conference in this city
last week, will be published The del
egates believe in fair play and fair

laws-fairness both to the scholars
and to the different institutions which
they represent.
