BOABD MEETING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1881.

/ 7 7

The Board met in the University parlor at 3:30 P. M. Present—Messrs. Bennett, Cobb, Mason, McLean, Millard, Pearman and Scott. Absent—Governor Cullom, Messrs. Bird, Fountain and Paden. The record of last meeting was read and approved. The Eegent then read the following report, which was received:

REGENT'S EEPORT.

To the Board of Trustees of the Illinois Industrial University: GENTLEMEN; Since your last meeting attention has been given to the repairs and improvements authorized by you at that time. A strong force was at once employed to take down the old Dormitory Building under supervision of Mr. Spencer, who was directed to use such methods as would most carefully save the material. During the progress of the work an accident occurred, due to the breaking of a decayed timber, by which two men were seriously injured. Both have recovered. It is believed that there was no lack of proper precaution, and that the University has incurred no liability on this account.
