IMPORTANT MEETING OF CITI-
zENS AT FISK UNIVERSITY.
MATTER OF AIDING THE TRUS EES FREE
LY DISCUSSED.

On Wednesday evening at eight
o'clock a number OF citizens met In
the parlors of Jubilee Hall for the
purpose of discussing the future of
Fisk University. 1t will be remem-
bered that the Rockefeller Founda-
ton for the promotion of education
few months ago made condition
al gift of several thousand dollars to
the University, and this meeting was
called to see what interest the citi-
zens OF Nashville felt in the matter,
and what aid they would lend to the
institution.
President Gates explained in de-
tail the needs of Fisk. He convinced
all present that such an institution
needed the moral and financial sup
port of the people of the community
where it is located and since Fisk
lis a Negro school it stands to reason
that those who are interested in the
higher education of the Negro youth
would expect those Negroes who
have been benefited by the aid OF
such institutions to manifest an in
terest of the perpetuation of the
same.
Many talks were made and every
one expressed a deep interest in the
work, and while the Negroes are moi
able to do much in a financial way il
was evident from the expressions Of
those present at the meeting Wednes
day night that hearty response
would be made to an appeal for the
University. Among those present
and who made talks were DIR. f. A
Stewart, Mr.. A. N. johnson, Mr.. Pres
ton Taylor, Prot Hardy Keith, DR.
Geo. w. Moore, DR.. S. w. Crosthwait
DIR. R. H. Boyd and others.

of the audience that the forty-odd
Baptist schols had sent some of their
scholars to take part in the splendid
program rendered Notwithstanding
the inclement weather of the previous
week, which prevented the program

meeting Sunday was filled with inter
est and enthusiasm The topic for
discussion was Unity" 1t was
opened by Mrs. Brown, a member of
the Sunday-School Union and teach
er of Mount Olive. Her splendid pa
per dealt with the subject in such a
concise and intelligent way that it
was like an electric spark More
than sixteen uperdntenGents were
ready to continue the discussion
which, however, was consigned to
two speakers, Mr.. S. II. Johnson, SUI
pcr.nte1dent of Pleasant Green, and
DR.. R. H. Boyd. The Union went on
record as favoring the new classes
organized by the Publishing Board of
the National Baptist Convention.
The name Metoka is substituted for
Baraca, while Galeda will be the future
name of the young ladies organiza-
ton heretofore known as Philathea.
The members of these various classes
from schools throughout the city sur
rendered their old pins and buttons,
leaving the Union wearing the new
paraphcrnalia of the Metoka and Ga
leda. Another interesting speaker was
Rev. VIM. Beckham. The superin
tendens of Pleasant Green Sunday
School announced that his entire
teaching force, consisting of twelve,
had been elected delegates to the Sun

in Meridian, June TIP. This will, il

ing, $4,000; girls dormitory, $780,

the Board, and his estimate of cost
comes within the amount specified
$4,000.
The main building is planned for
twenty-three rooms and an auditori-
um, or chapel, with a seating capaci-
ty OF 500. Rooms are also provided
for domestic science, laboratory, re-
citation, library, ETC., and vary in
size from lecture room for eighteen
or twenty pupils up to g capacity for

The girls dormitory will accommo-
date eighty girls and the boys DOR
m1tory about an equal number of
boys.

specifications is now available for the
work. AS soon as the specifications
can be agreed upon and formulated,
which will be in the next few days.

sary to complete the buildings.
The ground selected for the school
is tract of thirty-fve acres at the
end of the Jefferson street railway
line, on what is called the Zollicoffer
Hill. The location is an admirable
one, and is self-draining in all direc-
lions.
The main building is to be of brick

upon, which is usually 5 per cent.
The school will be designated as
