MfNUTES OF UEE BOARD OF TRUSTEES     -     May 30, 1911

         While seeking to educate the minds of the youth committed to our care,

we have not been unmindful of their need of moral training and everything Which under

the circumstances could be done, has been done to elevate the moral tone of the

student body.   In this connection it is pertinent to inform you that the Young Iden's

Christian Association is anxious to place a resident Secretary on the University

grounds.   I have said to the representatives of the organization that I would advocate

this, provided the right man could be secured; that this Secretary should be able to

assist in building up and promoting clean, wholesome outdoor athletics as well as to

lead in devotional exercises, and that if they could furnish us a man of this charac-

ation has many such men and its representatives will come before you with a detailed

statement of the proposed plan.

          I am also happy to be able to report that the active professoria1 corps is

both able and enthusiastic. It gives me great hope for the future to recognize that

this spirit exists.   No real teaching can be done by one Who does not love his work;

who is not enthusiastic in the occupation of inspiring youth with a thirst for know-

ledge; xd all things may be hoped from the work of him who is inspired with this most

laudable ambition.   It has been my utmost endeavor to impress upon the whole teaching

force that in order to build up a great and useful institution, it is necessary that

all bickerings and jealousy dhould be laid aside and an enthusiastic aud harmonious

unity of action promoted and built up.   I believe that the outlook from this point

of view is most cheering.

          Acting under a resolution of this Board, the Executive Comnittee organized

the University into several Colleges with a Dean at the head of each; the several

Deans constitute what is called a Council, being the advisers of the President with

power to make recomnendations to the faculty as may seem good to theu, the faculty

having the power of adopting or rejecting these suggestions as they may see proper.

The following is the plan of organization:-
