192 Upon motion of Mr. Gardner, it was voted that the students in the preliminary year be not required to wear the uniforms. The Faculty were authorized to employ a teacher of elocution without expense to the University. Mr. C. C. Barnes was employed as third assistant in their Laboratory, with $15 per month in fall and winter, and $10 per month for spring term. The recommendations of the Faculty for the following students, graduates of 1879, to receive captain's commissions in the Illinois National Guard, were approved: Messrs. B. P. Coburn, Wm. Thompson, F . E. Walker, Arthur Swannell, W. P. Johnson. Mr. Gardner was appointed a committee to settle the difference with Mr. Percival, in regard to fence line between his lands and the University farm, with power to act and arrange. The following resolution was offered by Mr. B. B. Mason, and passed:

Besolved, That the Board do not deem it judicious to increase the salary of the Head Farmer. That they appreciate- the services of Mr. E. L. Lawrence and should regret to lose his valuable experience on the University Farm, but consider it injudicious to incur additional expense in its management.
