This will result in a small reduction in cost, the exact amount of which we can not state. respectfully submitted., S. A. BULLARD, I. S. RAYMOND, LUCY L. FLOWER, Committee on Buildings and Grounds. The report was adopted and appropriations were made as therein recommended. The President announced the following as members of the standing Committee on School of Pharmacy: Alex. McLean, chairman; Dr. Smith, N. W. Graham, President Draper and Professor Shattuck. On motion of Mr. Raymond, the tenant on the south farm was given the privilege of deferring his January payment of rent to April 1, 1897, on condition of his paying 6 per cent interest on the amount so deferred. The architects of Library Hall presented a design for a bronze tablet to be placed in the vestibule of that building. The design was approved, and it was ordered that a bronze tablet of the same design should be placed in Engineering Hall. For this purpose $175.00 was appropriated. The Committee on Buildings and Grounds was directed to take measures to prevent the further staining of the walls of Engineering Hall by the drippings from the sills of some of the windows, and $100.00 was appropriated for this purpose. The board adjourned. W. L. PILLSBURY, JAMES E. ARMSTRONG, Secretary. President.
