The recently elected members of the Board, Messrs. Smith and McKay, and Mrs. Carriel, had, each of them, before the meeting of the Board, filed with the Secretary the usual oath of office. The minutes of the last meeting of the Board were approved as presented by the Secretary. The Committee on the School of Pharmacy made the following report:

URBANA, February 13, 1897.

To the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, GENTLEMEN:—Your committee on the School of Pharmacy, to which was referred the matter of the mortgage on certain lots deeded to the University by the Chicago College of Pharmacy, falling due February 15, 1897, reports that it found that Mrs. J. Frecksen, the holder of the mortgage, did not wish to extend the same. Your Committee also found that it would take some time, also that the cost would be considerable, to replace the mortgage. Accordingly the Business Manager was instructed to pay off: the mortgage amounting, principal ($1,500.00) and interest ($45.00), to $1,545.00. This was done and the mortgage was duly satisfied. Papers and documents with regard to the same are now on file in the Business Manager's office. Respectfully submitted,

ALEX. MCLEAN, N. W. GRAHAM, S. W. SHATTUCK,

Committee on School of Pharmacy.

Mr. Morrison, from the Finance Committee, reported with regard to the matter of attorney's fees which was referred at the last meeting of the Board that he had made some inquiries with regard to the matter, but desired further time. On motion of Mr. Bullard, further time was given.

ELECTION OF OFFICERS.

The President then announced that the next order of business was the election of officers, and called for nominations for the position of President of the Board.
