T recommend that appropriations be made for the usual expenses of the next six months according to the list presented by the Business Agent. Also, that $60 be granted for mattings for hall. Progress has been made in the preparation of the inventories of apparatus and other movable property, as desired by you, but they cannot be completed before your next meeting. Should the Alethenai Society so desire, I suggest that they be permitted the use of the room soon to be vacated by the Adelphic Society, and that the room finally left vacant be assigned for the use of the Young Men's Christian Association, with leave to use heat and gas. I respectfully ask attention to the following subjects: 1. To a determination of the items to be asked of the next Legislature. 2. To a consideration of the means necessary to meet the financial necessities of theUniversity, caused by the steady diminution in the income from the endowment. Rspectfully submitted, S. H.
