University.-Letters were mailed to
teachers, parents and educators in ref
utation of the articles appearing in
The press recently to the effect that
the summer normal school of the Uni
ve-sity would be merged with that Of
VI. A. & M.
Action taken by several members OF
the student body was for the greater
part responsible for the retention or
the University Normal. Petitions were
circulated by them over the campus
asking all men who intended to do
summer work to sign, and 95 students
declared their intention OF so doing.
The next step was to raise funds In
lieu OF the thousand dollars heretofore
appropriated by the legislature for the
Normal. A canvass Of Oxford revealed
that the business men would give $500,
while the superintendent OF education
Of Lafayette county obligated himself
for 5000. The state superintendent OF
education will also contribute. The
rest Of the amount will be made up by
the usual charge Of So as m~atriculation
fee. After the presentation. Of the
names Of the students who desire to
do summer work and of the progress
towards raising the necessary funds
officials of the University decided to
continue the summer school on the
campus.
