173 Agreeably to your instructions, a set of books has been prepared to contain the inventories of the several departments, and in most of them the inventories have been written up in a permanent form. A certain amount of incompleteness remains, which I hope to have corrected at an early day. The results are shown in the following table, making a grand total of $127,287.74, of which $7,259.50 belong to the U. 8. Government, and is deposited here for use, mostly under bonds for safe keeping and return when required. Deducting this sum, the movable property of the University amounts to $120,028.24.

I present the petition of the literary societies asking for more light in their halls, and approve its request. I present a communication from the Commissioner of the Agricultural Department at Washington, asking that you will appoint delegates to conventions called by him to sit at his office in the last week of January next. The conventions which will most nearly concern this institution are those which will consider the needs of the agricultural colleges, and of the stock-growing interests. All of which is respectfully submitted. SELIM H. PEABODY, Regent. Mr. Millard moved that the tyds on Nebraska lands be now opened before the bidders present. Carried. The following ten bids received were opened: 1. Bowdle & Newcome, Eldora, Iowa, $6.43 per acre. 2. John Ellis, Beatrice, Nebraska, $5.65 per acre. 3. W. E. Haywood, Pana, 111., $4.14 per acre. 4. C. C. Burr and T. S. Sheldon, Lincoln, Neb., $6.05 per acre.
