REGENTS MID-SIMMER MEETINtf
Some Important Legislation in College
Affairs. Office of Dean Abolished.
At tlia regular mid-summer
meeting of the board of rejents
of the State Agricultural college,
held in the administration build
ing Wednesday afternoon and
evening, all members of the
board were present with the exception-
of Stite Supt Aeker
man The session was most har
monious, and business was
handled carefully, and with dis
patch. Little time was lost in
fruitless dissuasion, yet every
item f importance received con
sideration. While the bare min
utes of Wednesday's meeting
make common plaee reading,
mueh that was d-ne will greatly
affect the ftture 'of the institu
tion. President Apperson called the
meeting to order at a o'clock.
The reports ef the clerk, 'seere.
tary and treasurer w"ere read and
approved. Th report of the
standing coiamittee 6n station
was referfed to the president and
director.
The committee on insurance
reported that n change bad been
made in insurance arrangements.
k new rating has been secured
amounting to about one-half of
what has been paid heretofore.
The committee recommended the
organization of a college hete
and fire company, the matter be
ing referred to President Gatch.
In his report President Gatch
strongly urged the divorcement
ot station men from college
work. He did not mince wrds
n itatiflg that certain professors
tad offered as an excess for ntg-
eeting station work the plea that
their time was taken up with
class room duties, when in reality
the classes might with better rea
son complain of the inattention
shown them. The board took
action in this matter and here
after certain members of the sta
tion staff will have ao College
work to do, arid those professors
who have experimental work
must give it their attention after
class hours. .
The attendance at the college
laSt year ws the largest in its
history,' 436 students being en
rolled exclusive of those who en
tered the farmers'- short cfjurse.
The report recommended the se
curing of a teacher f vocal and
instrumental music, and the
easing and improving of the, old
Hogue house, south of the col-
ege, as a hall of music. A lady
teacher Can be secured for $600,
and by charging a small tuition
fee, a salary f $300 will be suf
ficient. " . - "
It is evident from the tenor of
the president's report and the at
tiiude 6f the board that some ac
tion favorable to the re-establish'
meat of inter-collegiate athletics
will soon be taken. Early last
Tune President Gateh addressed
noteto the heads of the lead
ing schools of the " state, asking
them to unite in adopting the
rules of Harvard university rotr
trningthe admission ef athletes
to uaiversitv teams. The pur
pose is to free athletics of pro
fessisflalisffl. In every Instance
the answer was favorable, and
suggested that athletics were nec
essary to healthy school life,
The beard placed the entire mat
ter in the hands of the president.
A letter addressed to tne see
re tary of war asking that an offi
cer in active service be appoint
ed to act as commandant at the
college, developed the fact that
there is little probability of se
enring such an officer. In this
event, President Gaten recom
mends the retention ef Maior
Edwards.
The report of the ; director of
the station shows that the work
in that department last year was
the most satisfactory of any pe
riod in its History. Incidentally,
eleven farmers institutes were
held ; during the east twelve
months, and fifteen other meet
ings of farmers were attended by
members Of the faculty.
.four silos were erectea and
five small ones will be built this
year.
Experiments in the growing of
alfalfa 'at the station do not con
firm the prevalent belief that
heavy clay soils are unsuited to
this grass. The first cutting of
a plat at the college, May . 15th
yielded 22.83 tens to the acre,
A' second cutting, July 1st, gave
ever 14 tons per acre. This fe
port 01 Dr; Withycombe's is a
valuable document and it will be
published in substance and issued
in the form of a bulletin.
ELECTION OF OFFICERS. .
cne omeers ot tne board are
elected to serve for a period of
two years. : For president, Re
gent Keady placed J. K. weata
erford in nomination, and Benton
Killin in seconding the liomlna-
tion took occasion to pay a high
tribute to the worth and effi-
clency oi President Apperson
whom he had placed in nomina
tion at the time Of 'his first elec
tion six years ago. He spoke in
no less praise f Ms. We.ather
ford, who was elected by accla
mation. W. E. Yates placed J. D. Daly
in nomination for secretary and
he was unanimously re-elected.
B. F. Irvine, being nominated
by Regent Dunbar, was re-elected
treasurer, after being compli
mented upon his efficient service
in the past. "Weatherford, Ap
person, Daly, Keady ana Leedy
were elected members of the ex
ecutive committee, and T. M.
Church will act as an ex-officio
member until matters connected
with the establishment of the ex
periment station in Eastern Ore
gon are completed.
MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS.
The report of the committee
having in charge the establish
ment of the station at Union was
read and the acts of the commit-j
teo were confirmed. The con
tract has been let for a two-story
brick building to cost '$2,01:0.
Professor Leckenby will have
charge f the station at a salary
of $1,200 per" year. Regents
Apperson, Church and Keady are j
the special committee having
control of thjs station.,
Keady made a strong plea for
the establishment of such a
course in mining at tne college
as the importance of this indus
try in the state warranted. He
said that two-thirds ot the coun
ties of Oregon were directly in
terested in this matter and it de.
served serious attention. Presi
dent ' Gatch assured the board
that thera. was no disposition on
the part ot the faculty to neglect
this branch of study.
On assuming the chair of the
president of the board, Mr.
Weatherford stated that since en
tering the college as a student in
1868, he had been connected
with the institution in some way.
The joint report of the college
and station committee recom
mended the abolishment of the
office ot dean of the faculty;
that Dean Berchtold be given the
chair of English, and that he ba
relieved of Latin and History.
Prof. Horner will teach these
branches and perform the cleri
cal work formerly handled by
the dean. This recommendation
was approved and i3 now in effect

The Reception.
Tuesday night the Masons and
Eastern Star gave a reception
and banquet to Dn and Mrs
Haroer. Between sixty and
seventy guests were present and
all endeavored to make tne occa
sion pleasant for the doCtar and
his bride. W. E. Yates was
maSUr of ceremonies and made
the various announcements. Al
though, .the ' whole
rattier iniproraptn,
affair was
everything
passed off smoothly
and to the
credit ot all. A duet was snug
by Mrs. E. R. .Laka and Mrs. M.
S. Woodcock, accompanied on
the piaOO by Sirs. Mary Bryson;
Prof. John Fultoa sang a solo,
accompanied by Mrs. Fnlton ; J.
F. Yates gave a flute solo, with
Mrs. Yates at the piano; solos
were rendered fry Mordaunt
Goodnqrjgh, pianist, and Ruthya
Turner, violinist. At Intervals
during the evening a number Of
the- singers present sang the folk
songs of the land.: The intervals
between the numbers were de
voted to conversation, and the
general babble of voices and
laughter indicated that enjoy
ment was in the air. At a sea
sonable hottr all the guests re
paired to the banquet hall and
partook of refreshments. The
ladies whs acted as hostesses dur
ing the banqnet were very atten
tive to all and nobody was neg
lected in the least degree. It is
to be hoped that the time is short
until another Mason will bring a
bride to Corvallis as it is an ln
cftntiye for a joyons time.
A Mt. Hood Adventure.
A short time ago three O A C
professors, A. L. Knisely, F. D. 82c
Lonth and F. M. McElfresh, do
parted for Mt. Hood, intending to
make the ascsnt in company with
others. In the company thsv
joined were a couple of young la
dies and when the party approaehed
near the summit, on whioh a bliz
zard was raging, one of the young
ladies became exhausted and
feinted. From accounts given the
college professors frem this city
made a name for themselves of
which they mav be proud.
' Miss Bethel Rawson, a member
of the De Moss musical troup, was
the young lady whoso life was in
peril. In older to make the de
scent with the young lady, Prof.
McElfresh made a sled of his body,
and with" Miss Rawson partially
strapped to him, waB sleded down
the snow-oapped mountain. Later
on Prof. McLouth took the uncon
scious young lady on a horse and
conveyed her to a place where she
was provided with everything nec
essary for her welfare. All of this
happened last Monday. -'
O. C. Yocura, the veteran guide
who had charge of the party, gave
a verv interesting account of the
affair, and among other things,
said:
"On the downward trip Professor
Knisely and I assisted Miss Hall,
while Mr. Ames, Prof. McElfresh,
Prof. MeLouth, Henry De Moss and
Mr. Sholea took Mis9 Rawson, who
was in a feinting condition, seem
ingly a nervous chill, her teeth chat
tering and with no control over her
muscles. You know flow she was
brought down by Prof. McElfresh.
You eannot Bay too much for him
and the bravery of his com
panions. The three Corvallis pro
fessors are like princes. They be
haved like splendid fellows. Their
feat was one of the most daiiag and
unique things that has ever oc
curred on the mountain."
