RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY
NORTHWEST AND CENTRAL
TEXAS CONFERENCES.
The following are the resolutions
adopted by large majorities by both
the Northwest and Central Texas Con-
ferences concerning the question of es-
tablishing a great central university for
Texas Methodism:
Whereas, The development of ‘ !v
State of Texas and the progre, * of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
and the educational sentiment in Texas
are such that the demands for education
cannot be met by the existing institu-
tions with their present facilities, and
inasmuch as the enlargement of our
plans is imperative, rendering a read-
justment of our educational policies de-
sirable ; and
Whereas. The city of Dallas has sub-
mitted for the consideration of the sev-
eral Annual Conferences of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, South, in the
State of Texas, a proposition offering
land and money for the establishment
ol the university in Dallas, to be owned
and controlled by the several Annual
Conferences participating in its estab-
lishment ; and
Whereas, The proposition is of such
far-reaching importance as to demand
the most careful and painstaking con-
sideration ; and
Whereas, We believe that the present
demand and the future growth of the
Methodists of Texas and the South-
west will justify the establishment of
a college or university by the Metho-
dists of this region; therefore, be it
Resolved, 1. That this conference
sk the Presiding Bishop and presiding
elders to nominate for election by this
t ■■>,. ;>n/l two nrr.’irb-
VOIIIVI V IIV% » »* * • #»* » —*♦ — - |
ers who, in conjunction with similar
commissioners from such other Annual
Conferences as may see fit to co-oper-
ate in the movement, shall duly consid-
er this question ami take such action
as they may deem wise.
2. That this commission, when so
elected, shall, at the call of the Bishops
in charge of the Texas conferences,
meet and organize and shall have full
power to consider and determine the
question of the establishment of a uni-
versity as above described, and to pro-
ceed to establish the same as soon as
they deem wise.
3. 'This commission shall have power
to consider and determine the location
of said university, to accept or reject
the proposition submitted by the city
of Dallas, or such as may be submitted
by any other city of Texas.
4. That if this commission shall find
that the establishment of such a new
institution is impracticable, it is em-
powered and directed to take such
steps for the enlargement of some ex
fating institution or institutions as will
meet the pressing and growing dc
maud* of our times.
5. 'Phe commission shall have power
to determine the relation of the exist-
ing institutions to the proposed uni-
versity and the establishment of the
other institutions of learning and their
relation to the same, provided its ac-
tion shall be in harmony with the pro-
visions of the Getuial Board of Edu-
cation of our Church touching the clas-
.-.iheation of schools. In any event the
commission shall have power to de-
termine the relation of existing insti
tutions and such as shall hereafter be
established to each other in our edu-
cational system.
6. This commission shall exist bit-
four years, and all vacancies occurring!
between sessions of the conferences'
shall be filled by the Board of Educa-
tion of the Annual Conference by
which the member was elected. Said
newly elected member shall hold office
until the session of the Annual Con-
ference, at which time the vacancy
shall be filled by the process prescribed
for its creation.
7. This commission is hereby em-
powered to act as a boar ! of trust of
the proposed university in harmony
with the laws of the Church and the
State of Texas, until the participating
Annual Conferences shall make pro-
visions for the Board of Trustees to
further carry out their will.
K. This commission is hereby in-
structed to use every care that all
property hereafter deeded to our
Church for school purposes within the
State of Texas shall be so deeded and
the institution or institutions estab-
lished thereon so chartered that no
contention can arise against the own-
ership and control or sale by the Meth-
odist Church, South, as represented by
the participating Annual Conferences.
Wrapped in tisue paper blue,
In that box beneath my bed,
When you should lie on mv head.
Shimmering puffs of golden hue—
Jest a weary in’ for you.
I can’t see why that square top,
When i wear you has to Hop
Down in front and on one ear.
Makes me feel all out ogear.
Boys won’t smile, it makes me blue--
Jest a weanin' for you.
Morning comes, when I arise—
Tears of anguish fill my eyes.
What if you don’t match my hair,
People now a days don’t care.
Have to wear a Chinese cue,
Jest a wearvm' for you.
Evening’ comes, and when I dress—
l.ooks just like a “tookie mess.”
Seems just like »hC faculty.
Kinder oughter pity me.
Longing fills me thru and thru—
fest a wearyin' for you.

KOROSOPHIAN LITERARY
SOCIETY.
Ptesentcd ‘‘The South in Song and Sto-
ry”—Eighth Annual Open
Session.
Saturday evening the young ladies of
the Korosophian Literary Society pre-
sented “'I'he South in Song and Story”
as the program for their Eighth Annual
open session. Standing room in the
auditorium was at a premium, the lar
gest crowd of the year, so far. being
present. The program was well ar-
ranged. and most excellently carried
out, considering the fact that we have
no stage property fitted for the pre-
sentation of such programs.
in Part i of the program, the pre-eii
tation of Mammy Chloc in a typical
Negro log cabin scene created possibly
the most enjoyment. The costumes of
the characters in “Madame Grundy s
Dilemma,” of Part II. were especially
noteworthy. The Powers of Mem-
ory were dressed in bewitching
gowns of pink and green, the
Sneietv colors. while tin-* other cos-
tumes represented their respective cen-
turies. The young ladies have possibly
never presented a more pleasing pro-
gram.

POLYTECHNIC WINS FROM
VARSITY ANNUAL THANKS-
GIVING STRUGGLE.
Score 11—9.
Polytechnic Outplays F. V/. U.—Score
is Not an Indication of the Play-
ing of the Two Teams—F. W.
U. Plays Defensive Game.
In the most sensational game of the
season played on local diamonds. Poly
technic defeated their old rivals, Fort
Worth l Diversity, bv the close score
of 11—9. The deciding touchdown
came in the last two minutes of play
when Rice was sent over for the touch-
down by means of a fake forward pass
formation.
No game played in Fort Worth this
year lias been so replete with sensa-
tional plavs as was the Turkey day
game. The Panthers were the aggres-
sors from the start, forcing F. W. U.
to play a defensive game. There were
comparatively few fumbles and little
squabbling. Both teams worked hard
from the sound of the whistle till time
was called for the last time.
Polytechnic was scheduled to win,
but it was known that by sundry
means F. \Y\ l\ had worked up a team
which would make a hard fight to
retrie'c the crushing defeat of last
Thanksgiving.
Both Polytechnic ami the Varsity
were well represented by strong bodies
of supporters, but Polytechnic students
were largely in the majority. The sup-
port accorded the team was of the
best order and nerved the men on the
teams to their utmost efforts.
The game was a fight from start to
finish, growing in intensity to the very
last minute of piay. when with but iwo
minutes of play, and the victory al-
most in the hands of \ arsitv, in the
most spectacular play of the season,
Right halfback Rice fairly flew through
space for a touchdown which meant
victory for Polytechnic. The specta-
tors simply went wild with delight, at
least the Polytechnic part, for despite
the fact that up to this time the Varsity
led in the point of scoring, it was gen-
erally recognized that Polvtechnic was
playing rings around the l niversity in
every department save the punting of
Ware for F. \V. U. But even in this
feature of the game Miller was not
lacking, kicking well for Polytechnic
whenever called upon.
Polytechnic’s backfield was far su-
perior to that of the University, as :s
easily seen when it is known that
\\\ v. only rushed the hall a total of
32 yards while Poly gained 289 from
scrimmage plays. •
The Game by Quarters.
Varsity kicked to Polytechnic. Poly
goes down field for good gains to strik-
ing distance of goal and tries for kick
mamls of our times. __'____■ ___1... ..... .. ..?======
