AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
Mr. CAVIN offered a resolution to refer to a joint select committee the proposition of the Northwestern Christian University to donate certain lands and buildings for the purposes of an Agricultural College.
Mr. STEIN was of the opinion that this proposition should go to the Standing Committee where similar propositions are. All these propositions should stand on a perfect equality.
Mr. CAVIN reminded the Senate that the proposition itself embodies a proposal for a conference with a committee of the Legislature; and that the Standing Committee was composed of so many it could not act so well and expeditiously as a committee of four or six.
The resolution was rejected.
On motion of Mr. CAVIN, the Northwestern Christian University proposition was referred to the joint Committee on Agriculture and Education.
