IN THE INTEREST Of
! THE A. & NJ. COLLEGE
Enthusiastic Meeting of the CONNER
cial Club Held Last Niqht
for This Purpose.

An enthusiastic and intensely ear
nest meeting of the Bryan Commercial
Club was held last night in the inter
est of the A. and M, College. The
meeting was attended by large mum
Der of the members of the club, &
number of citizens, and President r
Il. Miner and Dean Charles Puryeal
of the college.
The meeting was called to order by
President l.. l.. McInnis, who stated
that in view of the slanderous and un
truthful rumors that were being cir
culated by the enemies of the college
which were calculated to prejudice the
members of the Legislature and in
fluence them in the appropriations for
the college, the meeting had been
called for council as to how best to
counterfeit these reports.
Colonel Miner was called on and
responded with complete refutation
of every charge that had been made
against the college, and closed with
a concise statement of existing condi.
lions, which would be satisfactory and
convincing to any fair-minded man in
the world. He referred to the late
trouble at the college as a mere cpl.
sode, likely to occur, and which does
occur at all colleges and universities
l. was now ended, normal conditions
restored, nearly all the students back,
and the affair would really have been
had it not been famed and
enlarged and misstated and twisted by
the enemies of the institution.

Colonel Miner was followed by
Dean Puryear, who spoke along the
same lines, and stressing the fact that
the course followed by the faculty at
the recent outbreak was the only way
left open to them to preserve author.

Earnest talks were made by Prof.

" B. Hudson, Judge j. T. Maloney,
Dr. r. j. Hunnicutt, E. J. Fountain,
Judge ]. w. Doremus, Ed Hall, Mr..
II. T. Lawler and others.
The consensus of opinion Of all pres
ent was that the college will emerge
from its trials and tribulations
stronger and grander than ever be
fore. The firm stand taken by the
faculty has entrenched it in the con-
fidence of the people of Texas, and all
believed the opening next autumn
would be the largest in its history.
Every man present pledged himself
to work in the interest of the college
and combat in every way possible the
false and slanderous reports that are
being circulated throughout the State
by its enemies.
Maj. L. L. McInnis received today
the following letter from Walton Pc
teet, president of the board of direc-
tors, relative to a meeting of citizens
and officers of the college held on
Monday afternoon at the college:
