28 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. [Deo. 9, to be added that since doing so the grand jury of Champaign county has indicted more than twenty of the saloon keepers of that city for selling liquor on the day referred to, and the circuit court has imposed a fine of $200 upon each of them. This action has been warmly approved by the supporters of law and decency in the city, and must be very gratifying to us. I am still of the. opinion, however, that it would be well for the committee of the Board appointed to consider the matter to forward a judicious communication to the city council, regretting the frequent violatins of the law, commending the action of the court, urging restrictions upon the liquor interests, and protesting against the granting of privileges for desecrating the Sabbath, and suggesting a non-partisan and more efficient police department. I t ought to be urged by the Board that the interests of a great university claim unusual care in these regards in a university city. Such a communication from the Board would be welcomed by and would help a great body of good citizens who are much interested in the subject. 4. A t the last meeting of the Board action was taken looking to more care in expenditures a t the College of Physicians and Surgeons. Responding to this the executive faculty of the College has taken action as follows: (a) Reducing the salaries of all teachers and demonstrators in both the medical and dental departments twenty-five per cent from December, 1902. (b) Discharging Dr. Dryer's helper December 1, 1902. (c) Requiring the Curator to give his entire time to the duties of his office. (d) Reducing the salary of the Superintendent of the Dental Department twenty-five per cent from December 1, 1902. (e) Discontinuing the teaching of laboratory physiology J u n e 1, 1903. (f) Appropriating $210 for the purchase of county hospital tickets for fortytwo senior dental students. (g) Requiring Dr. Bauman to refund $75 paid him through eror. (h) Discharging the Curator's helper. (i) Discharging the carpenter. I t is the opinion of the Business Manager that this action will save some thing like $4,500 in the remainder of the present fiscal year. 5. I transmit estimates for the College of Agriculture and the Agricultural Experiment Station and recommend that they be approved as follows: From Collegre Funds— Animal husbandry Household science Veterinary science College extension General office From ReceiptsDairy husbandry Household science From U. 8.
