Work Long Contemplated.

'Ine department mas Deen considering
the undertaking of this work for some
time, but the order to go ahead with IL

sired not to duplicate what the Agricul-
tural Department might have in mind
The status of the latter work has now
been ascerta ned. and the order to the
public health service will be issued in a
day or two. Anything that the public
heath service ascerta.ns as to pollution
in its relation to the oyster will be in

'The plan now about to be set on foot

will make an appropriation for such a

work and was largely instrumental
in suppressing the rebellion, this
was but natural, as he was chairman
OF the Board of Trustees. But it
was the President of the College
who handled the situation from it's
beginning to the end, and no man
could have handled it with more
tirmness, forehearance and diplo-
mocy than did President Hightower.

ate action. President Hightower
