Some time ago proposition was made
to sell this property and with the pro-
ceeds establish school on cheaper
grounds near the city. This was good,
but it has been found that the school
grounds proper cannot be sold. Then,
if that is the case, the dormitory and
campus should not be sold, but what
ever is lacking to liquidate the debt
should be subscribed and the property
continue to be used for school purposes.
