TRANSACTIONS OF THE BOARD. BOAKD MEETING, DECEMBEE 14TH, 1880. The Board met at 3 P. M., in the University parlor. Present—Messrs. Cobb, Gardner, Mason, McLean, Willard and Scott. Absent—Governor Cullom, Messrs. Bird and Fountain. The minutes of last meeting were read and approved. Begent S. H. Peabody read the following report, which was received : To the Trustees of the Illinois Industrial University: GENTLEMEN: The term now drawing to a close is notable for continuous and efficient work from all the members of the University. With as few exceptions as can ever be expected among so many persons, the students have maintained good order, as of their own choice, and have shown a hearty desire to support and to enjoy wholesome regulations. The number of students enrolled has been: Males, 264; females, 72; total, 336. The proportion of former students, who returned at the opening of the present year, was greater in every class but one, and greater in the aggregate than for the preceding year. The greatest deficiency has been in the preparatory class.* Thirty s tudents are admitted upon their diplomas from accredited schools,—a larger number than for any previous year. Twenty-one high schools are now on our accredited list, and the number might be yet enlarged. Care is needed that no schools hold this relation to the University but such as may be relied upon for thorough training of pupils; that condition secured, such connection might well be maintained with a school in every county. Applications are n<5w pending which require examinations; the expense of visitation, though usually small, should not be borne by the visiting officer, and sometimes prevents the applications which a school might otherwise make. A limited sum of money might be profitably expended in extending this connection. Eeport of classes taught during the Fall Term, 1880: Subjects. Mental Science Botany Chemistry.
