II. Mor rison, R, e. Williams, J. R. Craven, J. C. Hayter, 8. J. Gibson. In order to allow the College to proceed with its canvass in the East for an aug mented endowment fund, it will be necessary for it to be able to obtain the promise of sufficient money to erect an administration building In Dallas this year, and it will be the duty of the committee to raise the de sired amount. . A proposition to establih a factory here on condition that the Club would provide the lease of a site and a bonus, was referred to the board of manag ers for consideration and report. The outlook for the establishment of a big fruit packing plant here is very favorable.

Tracy Staats, financial agent of the Club, reported that he had collected a total of $266 of the monthly subscrip tolns the entire amount, with the exception of a pledge of $1.75.

L. Soehren, Edwin Jaoobson, Conrad Stafrin, V. P. FIske, W. V. Fuller. .

R. Craven. On motion, of N. L. Guy a commit tee, consisting of H. L. Fenton, W. A. Ayres and W. L. Soehren, was ap pointed to arrange for a pioneer pic nic to be held in this city, Saturday, June 24.
