After considerable discussion of this motion Mr. Smith made the point of order that a motion to reconsider action of a previous meeting which stood adjourned to a subsequent date was not in order at this intervening special meeting. Upon the President's ruling against the point of order the roll was called and the motion to reconsider prevailed by the following vote: Ayes—Armstrong, Bullard, McKay, Morrison, Pearce, and Raymond and Mrs. Carriel and Mrs. Flower; noes—McLean and Smith. The motion reconsidered was then voted down. Also Mr. Morrison's motion by which the Committee on Finance was instructed to present to the Trustees at the next regular meeting the name of a person suitable to be appointed Treasurer (see page 74) was reconsidered and voted down. Mrs. Flower nominated Mr. Elbridge Gr. Keith, of Chicago, to be Treasurer of the University for the unexpired term ending the second Tuesday of March, 1899, or until his successor shall be appointed and qualified.
