EVENING SESSION.

The Board met at 8 P. M., present as before. The Eegent completed the reading of his report, which was received :

To the Trustees of the Illinois Industrial University: GENTLEMEN—I have the honor to present a report of the first year of my service as Regent under your appointment. The work of the University has been carried on steadily and satisfactorily on the part of both students and instructors. The number of students of all grades has been less by about forty than in the year preceding, but the difference was in the less number of special students in music, and of younger pupils in the preparatory class. The number of matriculated students, members of regular college classes, was thirty more than last year, and greater than in any previous year since regular classes were organized. The quality of the work done in the several class rooms is believed not to have fallen below former standards in any case, while in certain departments notable progress has been made. The Senior class has been large, and its influence has been healthful and salutary: The number presented for graduation, whose names are given in the following list, is forty-six, the largest class yet issued from the University. The Faculty recommend that Degrees be conferred and Certificates granted, as follows:
