Of education of the Methodist Episco-
pal church South, with headquarters
in Nashville. Tennessee, arrived In
the city last night to attend the an
nual meeting of the board of trus-
tees of Columbia college, and to con-
fer with tina body in regard to the
plans for enlargement and improve
ment which are now under way for
this institution.
When asked what he thought of the
outlook here for an efficient and
prosperous school, the Rev. DR.. Ham
mond said There Is no question In
my mind about the almost unlimited
opportunities which you have to be
developed here in this part Of the
northwest If only you are persistent
in carrying out your plans.
1--WE of the east are very much in
terested in the work of Columbia col
lege and hope to be able to give val
liable assistance in a number of ways
in getting the school on a substan-
tial footing. The wonderfully rich
and productive country which you
have around here, seems to me to be
a great field for one to draw upon
in the maintenance of a school OF
learning"

public into thinking that your hair
