Meeting called to order by Capt. Elliott in this absence of the president and vice president.
A few remarks were made in view of a trip to St. Louis. Lieut. Pershing spoke of the expenses and necessities of the trip. He placed the lowest figure at $40.00 and spoke of the time necessary in preparation. On the other hand, he brought up the advantages the company had over others that would enter.
Chancellor Canfield was called on and stated the other side of the case. "It will be a difficult task to get the sufficiant number. It has been a hard winter for all - felt by all. Spring is coming - examinations are coming. No student can close the year with out a strain. The professors will begin putting on extra work. Towards examination time it will pull hard upon the students. After examinations the time will be put in at the individual's expense." He spoke of the weather and the sickness likely to happen on such a trip." Summed up, extra time strain in connection with university, the risk of weather & sickness, there will be a holding back and I consider it too big an undertaking I will be a glorious thing for the batallion, a grand thing for the university if you win but I | 23April 30, 1895
