tucky, had been called to the presidency of the University of Missouri, but
that he had been advised that Doctor McVey had not as yet accepted -the new

be irreparable, and that he should be urged to stay and remain as President

ered, was carried: BE IT RESOLVED, that the salary of Doctor M.1cVey be in-
oreased by adding thereto the sum of Two Thousand ($2,000) Dollars per annum,
