PROCEEDINGS OF BOARD OF TRUSTEES. THE LIBRARY. 153 This department has again overtaken the provision made for the accom modation of books. I recommend t h a t the gallery be extended across the north wall of the library room, and t h a t the space above this wall be fitted with shelving. This will provide room for 2,500 to 3,000 volumes. Shelving beneath the gallery would encroach upon the floor space for students, which is already too much crowded. I ask the assignment of $400 from state appropriations for buildings and grounds, or so much thereof as may be necessary, for this improvement. The experiment made last year, of putting an assistant into the library, who should give most of his time to duty there, has proved very useful. The order has been improved, and the attendant has done much service in showing students what the library contains and where it may be found. I recommend t h a t Mr. Cleaves Bennett be retained for the coming year. From state appropriation for buildings and grounds I ask that $500 be assigned for ordinary cleaning, and for painting and minor repairs in t h e main and chemical buildings. Also $150 for care of grounds for the rest of the current season. T H E FARMS. I present the usual quarterly farm report of Professor Morrow: F A R M REPORT.. UNIVERSITY, June 9, 1890. Dr. 8. H.
