To the Honorable Board of Trustees Illinois Industrial University: The Executive Committee, to whom was referred the leasing of land owned by the University in Nebraska and Minnesota, report that we have had under consideration the same, and find, from information from Mr. Pickrell and other sources, that the plan substantially pursued by the State of Nebraska, in leasing her school lands, is as good as we can recommend; and would further recommend that a commission be appointed to put the lands under lease, in Nebraska and Minnesota, as soon as practicable, on best termspossible. All of which is respectfully submitted. EMORY COBB, D. GARDNER, JAS. R. SCOTT.
