LABORATORY AND OFFICE ASSISTANTS.

The custom of appointing laboratory and other assistants and continuing them indefinitely, with frequent efforts to increase their salaries, has grown up with the University. In my judgment such places should be filled at not more than $500 the first year, and $600 the second year of incumbency; that such compensation should not be increased beyond that amount; and that the incumbent should go elsewhere as soon as the end of the second year and make room forT bright graduates who are coming on. I recommend that, after consultation w ith the heads of departments named, the President be authorized to appoint laboratory assistants in the following departments, at the compensation named above, viz. 1, Chemistry; 2, Geology; 3, Physics; 4, Civil Engineering; 5, Mechanical Engineering; 6, Theoretical and Applied Mechanics; 7, Economics; and 8, General Engineering Drawing.

WATER SURVEY.

I'recommend that Mr. C. V. Miller be reappointed as chief assistant for the next year in the water survey, at $75.00 per month, and that Professor Palmer be authorized to appoint a second assistant for the year at $50.00 per month.

RE-ELECTION OF DEANS.
