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.
