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

view by. authorizing: , President
Gatch to add vocal instruction on
the same s terms as other instruc

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

ed on the mailing, list, and that

ature be sent to him, that he may
teel that he is still remembered
by his alma mater. ' The sugges
tion was accepted.

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. : -

A resolution; was adopted mak
ing Professor Xake Station Hor

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
