89 We find, on page 117, First Annual Report, an order dated July 10th, 1867, to J. O. Cunningham, for the sum of $7,278 50 for the purchase of lands, and on page 140, Report of Executive Committee. "Mr. COBB moved that the Regent and Dr. Scroggs be a Committee to negotiate with McKinley and Burnham for forty acres of land lying between the horse railroad and the 160 acres tract, at a price not exceeding $180 per acre, also to negotiate for the two lots lying between the Springfield road and horse railroad, also to obtain offers for^the Griggs' farm or some part thereof, and report at the next meeting of the Executive Committee. potion carried." We are unable to find any further record on the subject. We are satisfied that said warrant was paid for the land and lots, as stated in the motion of Mr. Cobb, and we have no doubt that the error is in the printed record of the Executive Committee; therefor® Resolved, That said report be so amended as to show that the purchase of said land was made on the authority of the Committee by said J. O. Cunningham, and that the said warrant was duly drawn for that purpose. M. C. DOTLAP, H. C. BURCHARD, E. COBB. Mr. DUNLAP moved that Professors T. J. Burrill and S. W. Shattuck be paid $1,500 per annum, from March 1st, 1869. Carried. An additional report of the Committee on Faculty and Course of Study was then submitted : REPORT. The Committee on Faculty and Course of Study further recommend that the suggestions of the Regent in respect to an increase of the Faculty be concurred in. Also, that Prof. W. F. Bliss be re-appointed to the chair of Agriculture. Carried. On motion of Mr, BURCHARD, it was Resolved, That the Corresponding Secretary be allowed the sum of two hundred ($200) dollars for services during the past year, and a warrant drawn in his favor for that sum. On motion, it was voted that the Committee on By-laws be instructed to report to the next meeting of the Board an amendment to the by-law relating to the number requisite to change the by-laws; also, to that relating to the payment of Professors' salaries, substituting monthly instead of quarterly, and that, in the meantime, the Regent be authorized to draw warrants for the payments of Professors' salaries monthly. —**12
