Tootsy. ent rxcept Regent Olwell, whose absence was due to illness. Iu makiDg the 15th annual re port of the president of the board, President Weather ford reviewed the legislation establishing ag ricultural colleges and outlining the manner in which these insti tutions should be conducted President Weatherford said that the College and Station are in a most prosperous condition, and that the public is taking a keener interest in the institution than ever before. As a result, the at tendance is growing: and there is nd for information concern ng the ,. wort ot, tne chtx'. - : ; , ' A larger water supply is an im perative necessity, ana n system of wells was suggested as a pos sible source of relief. New fences, walks, and an addition to the girls' dormitory are needed improvement?, and : some 01 the buildings are in need of paint. The experiment . station at Union is proving successful be yond all expectations. A new grassnamed "Evergreen,' and grown at this station,. bids fair to be more useful than any other grass known. The contract has been let for a barn for the station at Union, to cost $7,900, and to be completed tbis fall. In conclusion, Pres. Weather ford said that the condition of the school deserves commendation from the board. It is expected that the enrollment . will reach 650 next year, i , The board acted ' lavorably on all the recommendations made by President Gatch in his report. In the matter of adding a vocal instructor to the department of music, Regent Leedy favored the proDOsition because he believed that the farmer's family should have advantages and opportuni ties for culture as well as young people who reside in towns and cities. The board endorsed this view by. authorizing: , President Gatch to add vocal instruction on the same s terms as other instruc tion in this branch. should be encouraged by the sta tion.' ;. ' ' '; : A communication - from Prof. Cordley spoke of the necessity of making provision for a collection of specimens for the College, mu seum. He advised the purchase of a collection of birds now the property of A. R. Woodcock. A letter was read from the sec retary of the board of McMiun ville Collegre. suggesting- that committees from ,thc various schools in the state meet to con sider the abolishment of match games of football. The idea was of such a novel character that it was placed on file for ma ture consideration. v Action oy tne board to pro mote college spirit on the part of graduates, was advised by Presi dent E. E. Wilson, of the alum ni. He asked that the name of each alumnus in the state be pJac ed on the mailing, list, and that bulletins and other college liter ature be sent to him, that he may teel that he is still remembered by his alma mater. ' The sugges tion was accepted. The request of Miss CHamber lain for leave of absence , for the coming year was granted.- A committee consisting of Presi dents Weatherford and Gatch and a member of the board will sc lect a substitute to serva during her absence. Professor Schmidt, of Albany College, will fill the vacancy. Vice-President Clark, of the JSC:- JGibbs,..was.relecte4V ih-4assist-the .enterpriser in some man- structor in chemistry . at a salary ot $1,000 per year,- his engage ment to begin July 1st, 1903 : President Gatch said that it is the unanimous wish or the stu dents that athletes be continued, and he added his endorsement by saying that athleties pi omote col lege spirit, and contribute to the physical well being of the -stu dents. He recommended that Mr.! Trine be elected as physical instructor at a salary of $780, and the board complied with this recommendation. The student athletic committee will add $220 to this sum, making Mr. Trine's salary i,ooo. , The board voted an appropria tion of $1,500 for the purchase of a pony cvhnder press for the College printing office. . The finance committee report ed that they found all the books of the institution well-kept, neat and correct. The probable avail able fund for the coming . year will be $80,502.60. After sal aries, etc., are paid there will be a residue of about $19,000 and this will be used for the improve ment of buildings, grounds, plants and equipment. . In its report the building com mittee stated that the cost of the new agricultural hall was $44, 762. 25. Furnishings for. the building are among the require ments. Emphasis was laid on the pressing need for a better water supply. v In the line ot im provement, ten carloads of gran ite, has been purchased and it is now being used to replace board walks. Professor Leckenby,' director of the Eastern , Oregon 'station, reported , that a fair , measure, of success is being attained; hot withstanding that implements at hand are crude and facilities for work are;!ackingr ; Experiments conducted at the station in grow ing sugar beets, mark an epoch in beet culture. Prospects are bright for a crop of hay that will yield more revenue than if the grouud had been rented. The station committee report ed that 20 farmers institutes have been held during the year, and Director Withy combe's ; report supplied the information that the attendance at these meetings numbered 3,750. The commit tee called " the attention of the board to the ( importance of the fruit canning indflstry in this state, and said that its promotion Y. M. C. A. of the; College, ap peared before the board and ask ed that an appropriation of $150 be voted to apply on the salarv of a secretary for the association Mr. Clark pointed out the good that is being accomplished for the school by . the association, and the assistance it is rendering stu denss in material and spiritual ways. New students are met at the trains, supplied with general information and provided em ployment; the sick are visited and needy supplied with ; care and medicine. , The College has grown beyond the capacity of association to meet, these require ments. Other schools employ a secretary to give; attention to this work. A man can be secured for the purpose 1 here for a salary of $300, and the - association is prepared to meet half" of this sum.- The members of the board manifested an earnest desire to ner, but the appropriation ot money for purposes of this nature is prohibited by laws governing the 'acjtion of the board. ' . It was necessary for this, reason .to deny the petition. : - THe bill Of a Portland attorney for the sum of $ roof for drawing the brief from which Attorney General Crawford; rendered his opinion concerning the rights of the board with regard to expend ing funds appropriated by the legislature, was allowed; Captain Apperson voting "no." j E. C. Phelps, of Heppner, pre sented his application for the po sition of College printer out there is no vacancy at present. Assistant Professors Kent and Fulton were promoted to be as sociate professors., , Upon the recommendation of President Gatch, the degree of Master of Science was conferred upon Professor Pernot. The officers of the board were re-elected, upon motion of Gov ernor Chamberlain. The executive committee was re-elected, and Regent Church will co-operate in the manage ment of the affairs of the station at Union. The finance, college and sta tion committees were reap-i-pointed. ' ..'. An athletic committee, com posed of three members of the board, was appointed to act with a like committee representing the student body. The object is to stimulate athletic sports and en courage physical culture. Salaries were increased as fol lows: Thos. H. Crawford,.' to $1,500; F. E. Edwards,- to $900; E. C. Hayward, to $1080; M. C. Phillips, to $960 ; F. D. McLouthl to $900; Miss C Hoi gate, , to, $540; W. T. Shaw, to $1080. . .4 The salarv of the secretary of the board was reduced, at his re quest, from $600 to $400 per year. A resolution; was adopted mak ing Professor Xake Station Hor ticulturist, and in the future he will devote one-half of his time to class work. I Regent Keady pointed out that it had been the practice to make no mention of the college at institutes held under the aus pices of the station.' Dr. True has laid stress on the fact thatthe station is not a separate . institu tion, but rather a department of the College, and the college board, acting on the suggestion of Mr. Keady, passed a resolution pro-.' viding for the preparation of a folder containing a synopsis" of the work of the College," for dis tribution at station institutes. The board wishes to impress the public withy the importance of the literary work f; ofvth-e school. - In this connect;oi . R c gent Church stated that in the early days of the new college, farmers in his section would not send their children to this school, '.'because they " could teach them farming at home." When they learned, however, that the insti tution offered : a multitude of Other advantages they were eager to send their . children.. Here is evidence of the necessity of hav- ing branches that will attract students. When they enroll they are encouraged to take up the course in Agriculture, and the result is that the per centage of students taking this! course is as great as that in any agricultural college in the ' country. Regent Killen said that- everything con sidered, Oregon is doing as much or more for agriculture than aay other state. The matter of consolidating the power house and heating plant was discussed. It is be lieved that $1,000 per year can be saved by the operation. Should this be done, the build ing now used as a power house will be occupied, by the ' depart ment of mines and mining and Professor Fulton will be put in charge.1 This "matter together with the .question of water sup ply wai referred to the committee on buildings and grounds, with power to act. Regent Irvine made a plea for assistance , for, . the cadet band. He said that the least that could be done would be to provide an instructor. Ruthyn .Turney, of the department of music, was elected conductor at a salary of $12 per month. This being Governor Cbamber ain's first official meeting with the board, be was invited to make some remarks. In the course of a sensible short talk; Governor Chamberlain spoke of the farms connected with the state institu tions at Salem,, and the problems that presented themselves in con nection with the cultivation and management of these properties. tie invitea mempers 01 tne sta tion and faculty to visit them and make suggestions ' relative to cropsan'cT improvement of" condi tions generally. , . .
