Plaxico is expected to see that plenty of fluid will be available for the hot members of the faculty," Dr. Caldwell said. Some debate occurred in the faculty council meeting on the point of whether or not students should be allowed to attend.

This is the highest amount ever received by the institution, almost trebling the sum received last year. The appropriation stipulates that $100,000 will go to the extension department and student rake-offs, while the remaining $900,000 will be used as directed by the board of trustees and Dr. Ralph K. Foster. In a special meeting of the faculty early this morning, it was decided to declare a holiday for today, in order that faculty and student body alike might recover from the shock. "I am delighted that the gents up yonder at the Capitol decidcd to give us so much moil," Acting President L. T. Baker said, "but I feel that the state's money could have gone to a much more worthy cause." Dr. Baker pointed out that it would have been much better to have contributed this amount to the S. P. C.
