benefits conferred by the extension of

Columb ia, the Board reached the con-
cluslon that it would be the part Of
wisdom for Howard University TO
Withdraw it's request. For a share in
this appropriation for the study iof
scientific agriculture The opinion
was freely expressed that Congress
had been particularly liberal in as
sisting Howard University, it would
be unWise at this time to show dis
position to insist upon sharing In the
appropriation under the Morrill, act.
Dean Kelly Miller, of the College of
Arts and Sciences, had made a strong
hight for participation in the allot-
ment, and while the issue was not
pressed finally the eloquent pregen-
tation Of Howard's claims upon the
purse-strings Of the, nation, bids fair
to bring forth fruit at some subse-
quent date.
At this meeting the trustees of
Howard University decided to-modify
the course OF studies in the College
OF Arts and Sciences With the begin
nlng OF the next academic year. The
system Of free electives is to be aban-
doned at the close Of the presenl year,
when the group system will be adopt
ed The electives, it is asserted, fail
to afford the training for which the
