69 HONORARY SCHOLARSHIPS, E T C . The language of the statute, strictly construed, restricts the honorary or free scholarship provided for each county to the descendant of a soldier or sailor. [t is, however, permitted to the Board to provide other honorary scholarships, [n order to give some regularity to this business, I recommend that it be provided by resolution that when the regular honorary scholarship in any county is not claimed, one free or honorary scholarship be offered to such student as shall pass the best examination and shall be of good character and promise. There is already one application from a graduate of a college to come here and study as a resident graduate. Other applications of this sort may be received. I would recommend that a rule be adopted that resident graduates be admitted on the payment of the ordinary fees, excepting the matriculation fee. On motion of Mr. BURROUGHS the report of the Regent, with the accompanying documents, was referred to the proper standing committees. Mr. BURROUGHS' resolution was as follows: Resolved, That the different subjects contained in the Regent's report be referred to the several committees on the subjects, for the coming year, and that a committee on nominations be now appointed to bring in, as soon as possible, names of such committees. Carried. On motion, Messrs. Lawrence, Edwards and Goltra were appointed a Committee on Nominations. On motion of Mr. GOLTRA, Mr. J. S. Slade was invited to take a seat with the Board. Moved and seconded that the new members be sworn in. Carried. Messrs. Pearson, Griggs, Kile and Wright were then sworn in, Judge A>res administering the oath. On motion, the report of the Treasurer was read. TREASURER'S REPORT. November December January January January January March 13, 1868. 9,1868 By J. M.
