The Meaning- of Chancellor
Hill’s Last Order as to
htetics.
It tarns oat that Ghanoellor Hill has
not forbidden intercollegiate games
away from this city, but has simply de
clined to allow the team to go off for a
week trip.
Chancellor Hill sees no harm in the
team going off occasionally for one
game, but is satisfied that the practice
of going off on a trip for an entire week
breaks into tbe studies of the students
and cannot therefore be allowed.
Eighteen Thousand Dollars
of University Endow
ment Fund Paid in.
The meeting of the alumni associa
tion of the University will be full of
interest. At that time the report of the
oommittee on the alumni endowment
fond will be made, and it will be en
deavored to add to the fund that has
already been subscribed. There has
been collected on this fund to date
something over eighteen thousand dol
lars, the money being invested in state
bonds to await the maturity of the fund
two years hence. Another installment
of this fund is dne at the approaching
commencement.
It is not known what will be done
with the fund, as that will have to be
determined by the subscribers after it
matures, but there is a strong sentiment
among a number of the alumni that the
money be nsed for the erection of a large
and commodious auditorium, a build
ing that is very muoh needed at tlte
University just now.
