2 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. [Sept. 9, PAPERS FROM PRESIDENT DRAPER. The secretary presented the following papers which had been transmitted to him by President Draper : LAKE MOHONK, NEW YORK, September 5, 1902. To the Board of Trustees. I have the honor to recommend the following appointments to take effect September 1st, unless otherwised noted. In nearly or quite every case authority to make these appointments has been conferred upon me heretofore, but I report them as usual for confirmation and regularity. These appointments do not involve any increase in the number of persons upon the instructional force, nor in the expense. 1. Floyd Rowe Watson, as Instructor in Physics for ten months from September 1st, at $100 a month. Dr. Watson, who has visited me, is thirty years old, is a graduate of the State Normal School at Los Angeles, California, and of the State University of California, and took his Ph.D. degree at Cornell University in June last. 2. Frank W. Scott, as Instructor in Rhetoric, for ten months from September 1st, at $75 a month. Mr. Scott held the same position at the same pay last year. He would have been reappointed before but for the fact that his appointment was a late one last year, and in consequence his name did not appear in the regular list. 3. George D. Arnold, as Assistant in the Men's Gymnasium, for ten, months from September 1st, at $60 a month. This appointment is in place of that of Mr. Kreikenbaum, who declined. 4. Elliott Judd Northrup, as Assistant Professor in the College of Law, at $1,500 a year. This appointment is to the place formerly held by Professor Tooke. Mr. Northrup is a graduate of Amherst College and of the Law School of Cornell University. He has been in active law practice for seven years at Syracuse, New York, in company with his father, who is a lawyer of considerable distinction in the state of New York. He is thirty-two years of age, and a man of much culture and promise. He is exceedingly anxious to succeed as a teacher and writer of the law, and I have considerable confidence that he will. In case his first year with us is satisfactory I have promised to recommend that his salary be $1,600 the second year. 5. Katherine O'D. Manley, Order Clerk in the Library, in place of W. O. Walters, resigned, at $900 a year. Miss Manley is already in the service of the Library, and this is a promotion. 6. Harriet E. Howe, Loan Desk Assistant in the Library, at $720 a year. Miss Howe is a graduate of the Library School, 1902. 7. Clarence Green, Messenger in the Library, half time and all of Saturday, at $20 a month. Mr. Green will be a senior next year in the College of Literature and Arts. 8. Charles S. Crandall, Instructor in Horticulture and Chief Assistant in Pomology,at a salary of $1,200, of which $600 shall be paid from the College fund, and $600 from the State station fund. This appointment is in place of Mr. Stubenrauch. Mr. Crandall is fifty years of age, and graduated at the Michigan Agricultural College in 1873. He did some teaching there between 1885 and 1890. From 1890 to 1900 he was Professor of Botany and Horticulture in the Colorado Agricultural College. I regret to say
