To the Honorable Board of Trustees of the Illinois Industrial University: GENTLEMEN—Our preparations are already begun for the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia, but some additional appropriations will be needed to carry them forward. There will be needed for this purpose— 1. Forchemical manufacture and bottles ^... $200 00 2. Views of buildings, interiors, etc.; photographs, maps, etc 100 00 3. Cases for Entomological and Botanical and other collections 100 00 4. Materials and labor for new mechanical models, etc 100 00 5. Portfolio and stationery, etc., to be used in several departments ;,.. 50 00 It must be remembered that these articles will all be valuable acquisitions to our cabinets, and therefore these appropriations m*y be regarded as made to the cabinets. The amounts named may not all be required, and only a small part will be needed immediately, but the vote of appropriation aeerns necessary in order to authorize us to enter upon the the preparations contemplated. The occasion certainly demands some corresponding efforts on the part of American Universities, and our highest interests lie in the direction of patriotic duty. J. M. GREGORY.
