tc  educational  interests,  a  general  discussion  ensued,  resulting  in

to  our  method  of  advertising  the  College,  and  moved  that  the 
entire  matter  of  advertising  be  referred  to*  the  Committee  on  Finance

Property  stated  that  the  present  lighting  plant  was  barely  able  to 
meet  the  demand.  The  Committee  had  obtained  an  estimate  for
