The report was received and placed on file. The sum of $82.66, expenses accrued on land sales, was audited, and a warrant for same ordered to be drawn. The Executive Committee made the following report:

To the Board of Trustees of the III. Ind. University: The undersigned, your Executive Committee, beg leave to report that at a meeting of your committee since the last June meeting, the question of advertising for the University was taken under consideration, and your committee decided it was advisable and important that the appropriation for advertising be increased to $600. The importance of this increase seemed so necessary that the committee found it necessary to act promptly, as the work must of necessity be done prior to this meeting. Your committee therefor ask that this report and the action of the Executive Committee be approved. S. M. MILLARD, CHAS. BENNETT, Committee.

The report was received, and the increased amount appropriated, as asked for. The Executive Committee asked for further time to report on purchase of Eush lot. Granted.
