Show Salt Lake <br> 30 Oct 95 <br><br> My dear Dr. Jackson <br> Our men have the control of the question of site and the Trustees are to meet Friday evening to act upon its acceptance - still nothing can be made public, until we try what benefit we can scare out of surrounding the location of the college <br> But I am beginning to ask, shall I advise your meeting me at Chicago? <br> I am clear that we must not come under the Chicago Board. The Home Board can help us most. <br> The men who put in the money - it is thought it will require an investment of $200,000 - will expect a building erected at the earliest possible date - lay the foundations next Spring at least. <br> If we do not go before the Board shall we meet for other purposes at <br><br> |
