have come to the conclusion that that
is the only way we can build up the
kind Of an institution that we all hope
to see on the bill.
"Our next step will be 10 lay the
names Of the four men we believe to
be available before the Congregation
al. Foundation board, and gay tc
them: Which Of these four men dc
you think we should have as presi.
dent of Fargo college" E
'"Then. after they have virtually
selected the president, we feel that
they will be very much more inclined
to see that we have the f1nancia
backing that we are. expecting from
this board,
DR.. Beard visited oberlin. Cincin,

test. and every effort is being made
to bring pressure to bear on the
chamber of deputies to evers the
decision of the upper house.
Leading newspapers are taking
part in the campaign for mel
time. They contend that, the great
interest taken in athletic sports of all
kinds during the last three years is
due almost entirely to this measure.
