represented the present session. There is no doubt of the
wisdom of this action. In the first place it insures
to us the choicest men of the academies so recognized,
and, in the second place, the influence of such men upon
their academy associates in drawing them to the College
more than makes amends financially for the immediate
drain upon the income of the college. It is important
that the Trustees determine more in detail the conditions
upon which these scholarships are awarded. It may be wise
to increase the number of the scholarships, extending them
to certain graded schools of the State.

The committee consisting of the President and J. W.
Bailey appointed by the Executive Committee of the Board
to have charge of the movement suggested by the Baptist
State Convention December 8th 1905, to add $150,000 to
the endowment fund of the College have as yet made no
active canvass for contributions, preferring to await
the action of the General Education Board upon their
application for assistance.

Mr. J. R. Crozier, Director of Physical culture, whose
services are of distinct value to the College, feels that
it will be impossible for him to return the enxt session
on a slaary of less than $800°°.

Dr. L. M. Gaines understands that when he accepted his
professorship here upon a salary of $1250°° it was agreed
that it would be advanced to $1500 the second year.
