GymnaSiEzn Need Great.
The portion Of Dr. Doneys re-
pert concerning the gymnasium
vas Is follows
The lack u q gymnasium II
bssng felt more and more. The
Old building was wOefglIy made
ouate and we may have been
sometimes disposed to deride il
but # was immezsurabiy better
tEan having none al all The
students have accepted the hard
ships IN . fine spirit. bat they
are becoming eagerly anxious 70
have prospects Of new gynn2s-
8an soon. This year has caused
me to realize as never before the
really important and essential
part which physical education has
in modern education. and 1 feel
that We should go 10 the utmost
limit speedily TO secure q build
ing. The students sppOinteS
committee Of their number TO
wait upon the executive commit
tee of the Trustees and presented
q petition requesting some action
and asking the opportunity 10 do
something themselves Later they
passed a resolution to add gym
nasium fee 10 what they now pay
the school In every way they
have shown a commendable inter
est and their pleadings should
have our earnest consideration.
Increase Endowment.
Naturally, / have thought of
this problem from every angle
and have sought much counsel
The suDremeiy best thing for the
university would be for some far
sighted person to give the gym
nasium In default OF the suffi-
cient gift, ] offer the following
ideas. A year ago you appointed
a committees 10 locate the antici-
pated building. Their report
should be definitely adopted an
architect should be engaged toI
prepare plans and a building COM
mlttee OF three persons should be-
appointed. add to the askings In
the forthcoming campaign an
amount equal 10 the cost OF the
gymnasium; and by resolution
agree TO devote the first money
received as a result Of the cam
paign to the paying for the build
ing. / believe that such a pro
gram would lend impetus to the
campaign. There are persons who
are not greatly interested IN the
increased endowment. but who
are concerned about the gymnas
iurn. Allow subscribers TO indi-I
cate whether their gifts shall be
used for endowment or gymnas-
ium and we thus viii have more
gfyers and possibly Of larger sums.
Unless the gymnasium IS in some
way assured ! fear that the cam
pzign will not mount to its full
enthusiasm; and II the gymnas-
iuEn is coupled with the campaign
We will get greater cooperation
DR.. Doney at the end Of the ses-
sion said: Il was surprised and
pleased at the interest and CO.
operation OF the trustees in the
matter Of the gymnasium"
Boiler Reelected.
The trustees authorized the en-
gaging Of Horace williston Jr., TO

and the Oregon Agricultural col
iege. and Washington State col
Iege, and Is now doing graduate
work at the University OF Penn
sylvania-
Coach Roy Boiler was also
elected as athletic director for the
coming year. Considerable dissp
proral OF Coach Boiler had arisen
among a few Of the friends Of men
whom Boiler had been forced to
expel from the athletic teams ana
petition had been presented ask /
ing that he not be returned. The
trustees, however. overlooked the
petition OF the few students who
were in the minority and re
elected Boiler.

Doney and l. H. Van Winkle. who
will name three others to act with
