The Executive Committee report the appointment of Miss Emma M. Hall, of Cazenovia, N. Y., to be Instructor in Ancient Languages, at a salary of $100 per month for ten months. Miss Hall graduated at Michigan University in 1874, and took her Master's degree at the same place the year following.

Darrow, a graduate of Allegheny College, to be Assistant in Modern Languages—at $60 per month for ten months. Respectfully, S. M. MILLARD, J. T. PEARMAN, Executive Committee.

The report was received and the appointments approved. Trustee McLean made the following report from Committee on Buildings and Grounds:

To the President and Trustees of the I. I. U.: Your committee to whom was referred the matter of purchase of lots from Mr. Chase, would respectfully report that the lots are situated immediately south and adjoining the lot on which our shops and Drill-hall are situated and adjoining the Arboretum, thereby dividing the grounds of the University, which is not desirable. A plat of the same we herewith attach. In view of these facts we would recommend that your Board purchase said lots described as lots 1, 2, 5, 6, and one lot unnumbered on said plat, from said Chase, with such moneys as are not otherwise appropriated. The same can be purchased for the sum of four hundred and fifty dollars. Respectfully submitted, A. McLEAN, R. N. PADEN.

UBBANA, Sept. 5, 1883.

The report was accepted and adopted; the Executive Committee were instructed to make purchase as recommended.
