PEABODY COLLEGE FUND.
Negotiations With Tennessee Are
Nearing Completion.

BOSTON, November 14-It was an
nounced here today that at the next meet
ing Of the trustees of the Peabody fund.
which will be held either in this city or
in New York within the next month, a
grant of 100000 Will be made for the
establishment of a teachers college at
Nashville in connection with the Peabody
Normal School of that city.
DR.. Samuel 4. Green, secretary of the
fund, stated today that the grant TO the
Nashville college had been delayed owing
differences and the state of Tennessee
and the city of Nashville. These differ
ences, however, have been adjusted
through the efforts Of Richard Olney and
Joseph H. Choate, a special committee of
the trustees appointed to take charge of
the matter.
We have gone into the plan of making
grants for education in the SOUTH" DR.
Green said which was the main purpose
of the fund in the mind of the founder
The plan is something along the same
lines as the Carnegie grant.
The Peabody fund has been maintained
for some years at about s., 100000. 1t was
established by George Peabody. the Lon
don banker.
