We have also examined t h e vouchers on which Experiment Station warrants Nos. 87 to 90 inclusive, and Itfos. 183 to 241 inclusive, have been drawn and find them correct as presented. A statement of the entire expenditures of the Experiment Station for the year ending June 30. 1888, referred to us. we have examined and recommend its approval. We have also examined t h e Treasurer's report and find it correct, and t h a t it shows a balance of seventeen thousand one hundred and thirtythree dollars and fourteen cents.

T h e following r e p o r t of t h e F a r m C o m m i t t e e w a s , o n m o t i o n of M r . M c L e a n , a p p r o v e d : The Farm Committee to whom was referred the report of Professor Morrow, professor of agriculture, respectfully reports t h a t it has examined said report and finds the same satisfactory. I n relation to Professor Morrow's attending institutes, t h e committee reports that, owing to t h e fact t h a t t h e University has no funds to employ an assistant professor in agriculture, the interests of the agricultural classes will not permit him to attend institutes as extensively as would otherwise be desirable. The committee, however, recommends t h a t permission be given Professor Morrow to attend six representative agricultural institutes during t h e present season, the same to be without expense to t h e University.
