Many advantages of the proposed Uni

j to come to light, as citizens turn the pro-
ject over in their minds. While the pub
lie is dgesting the scheme, however, the
board of visitors is moving forward with
all diligence toward affecting an organ
ization and securing the necessary char.
ter.
"A meeting has been called for to-mor-
row afternoon at the Merchants Ma
tional Bank building, Eleventh and Main

that at this time the committee on char
ter will be able to report a set OF suit

the board in its work. and as soon as
the legal requirements can be mot and

made looking to the benefit Of the city is
that if Richmond College accent the
terms OF the University Corporation and
move to some cite in the suburbs. the
municipality acquire the present college
tract. occupying four city blocks In a
most Desirable section Of the city, and
convert 1t into public park and play-

that at present Richmond has absolutely
no place Where the children can obtain
fresh air and exercise; that tho chill
