Hopp, Sedrog S. B. Conover, Port Townsend, A. H. Smith, Ta- coma, I. H. Bellinger, Colfax. ' B This board effected an organization by the election of S. B. Conover, president, A. H. Smith, treasurer, and Samuel Vinson, clerk. Governor Laughton officially announced to the board that he had received no report from the commission appointed to locate the college. The next meeting was held at Tacoma May 1, 1891. At this meeting Regents Smith and Conover Qwho were members of the locating commissionj, announced that the commission had made the location at Pullman, VVhitman County. That Pullman was favored by receiving this great gift of the state was largely due to the persistent work and efforts of Dr. VVebb, E. H. Letterman, and Thos. Neill. At the meeting abo-ve mentioned, on May 1, Prof. Geo. Lilley was elected president of the college and director of the Experiment Station. The third meeting of the Board of Regents was held in Pull- man May 22, 1891. At this meeting the secretary and treasurer were authorized to enter into a contract for the co-nstructio-n of a brick building at a cost not to exceed 391500. But before the meet- ing had adjourned a restraining order was served upon the board. For some months afterward restraining orders, injunctions, quo warranto proceedings, suits in equity, etc., were quite the order of the day. The legal questions involved were, however, finally settled satisfactorily tothe people of Pullman. The injunction suit which was begunin the Superior Court of Pierce County, with the object of preventing the location of the college at Pullman, was, after a hearing, dismissed by, the Supreme Court in August, 1891. ln De- cember of the same year the plans of Mr. Prusse for a college build- ing, and also for a dormitory. were adopted, and the president was authorized to advertise for bids for the construction of the basement of the main building and for the erection and completion of the dor- mitory.
