million dollars be for
the establishment of a
college in connection with the

This grant to the Nashville
college, it is been
delayed because of the technical
differences between the trustees,
on the one hand, and the state of
Tennessee and the city of Nash-
ville, on the other, but through
the good offices of Richard A.
and Joseph H. Choate
these differences have now been
settled, and the grant will be
made.
