FOR HOT SPRINGS ACADEMY.
Meeting Held in Rapid City by Execu-
tive Committee.

tkvC SOluukGICCs
A meeting of the executive COM
mittee, appointed by the last session
of the Methodist Episcopal conference
of this state to act for the conference
in the movement to establish an ac.
ademy at Hot Springs, was held in this
city yesterday. Those present we're,
President Nicholson, of the Dakota
Wesleyan University at Mitchell; Rev.
Dolliver. superintendent of the Black
Hills missions; Hon. B. w. Martin, of
Deadwood, S. e. Wilson and j. A.
Stanley, of Hot Springs.
The proposition is to purchase the
buildings and grounds of the old
Black Hills college at Hot Springs and
conduct an academy auxiliary to
Dakota Wesleyan University. Present
plans call for the carrying of a college
preparatory course, with courses in
music, art and business. Hot Springs
has already raised about $4,000 to as
sist in the project The old college
building is 60 by 100 feet, three stories
high and cost about $4,000 and is on
college hill, surrounded by about fifteen
acres of campus. The buildings and
grounds are now owned by eastern
capitalists who were compelled to fore
close their mortgage on it at the time
of the failure of the school in the late
nineties. The owners of the building
and ground we're represented at the
meeting by Attorney Juckett, of Hot
Springs.
Nothing definite was accomplished
at the meeting yesterday. 1t is under
stood that the offer of the owners to
sell the old college building and
grounds was submitted to the COM
mittee and that will be submitted to
the directors of Dakota Wesleyan
University at their meeting in Mitchell
next week. The matter will then be
decided one way or the other and if the
directors decide to 60 ahead with the
project the new school will be opened
at the beginning of the I9OS school
year next fall.
To representative of this paper,
DR.. Nicholson said: II have just re-
turned from New York City, where on
Tuesday Ireceived the check of Andrew
Carnegie for s25,OOO which completes
the endowment of 100000 for Dakota
Wesleyan University. OF course we
are all feeling good over that. The
university is having the most success
full year in its history. 675 pupils being
enrolled, If the plan for the establish
ment at otSprings goes through all
right that new school will be auxiliary
to the university and bear the same re-
lation to it that Morgan Park Academy
bears to Chicago University. Rapid
