They expected five hundred students would enroll. McCuUoch Pessimistic. ]"~ The only note of pessimism in the meeting wee voiced by Frank Mccul- loch, who thought they would be dis- appoinetd In. the number enrolling, and that it would be nearer fifty than five hundred at the first meeting. Therefore he suggested doing some- thing else to finance the undertaking. Mr. Francis replied quickly that fi- nances were not bothering them at all. One man had offered to finance the whole thing if It became necessary to cull upon him. They wanted the stu- dents to pay a small sum because they would vslue the instruction more and make more of it if they paid for it. Seed.Thing, Good Pises. Formal action was taken to continue the committee of arrangements and approve of the whole plan and that was quite enthusiastically done. Dr. Frost expressed the general sentiment when he was called upon when he said: "This is a good thing to do. Bvanston is a good place to do It. I am for it."
