Trees have been planted back of the University in distant groups, extending southward to the nursery grounds. Attention is called to the position and condition of the Veterinary stable. It is too near the roadway, and the wood foundation is badly rotten It should be moved westward, and placed on brick piers. The west gable of the Dormitory building was blown in, taking also a portion of the roof. This renders that portion of it untenable. Temporary protection has been made, which partially shelters it, We desire the especial attention and direction of the Board concerning the building and its future. Mr. Lewis has satisfactorily done the work in the greenhouse and on the grounds, and will continue during the summer. As the greater part of his labor is upon the grounds, and no credit is gived the Horticultural department for the plants placed in the beds, we request that his salary, $25 per month, be charged to Buildings and Grounds. All of which is respectfully submitted. D. GABDNER, ALEX. McLEAN, Committee.
