The Regent's report was then read. REGENT'S REPORT. To the Trustees of the University of Illinois. GENTLEMEN : The season of the annual commencement is at hand. The graduating class numbers twenty-seven, with two candidates for the Master's Degree. Two persons only have been recommended to the Governor for commissions in the state militia, as the reward for faithful service in the battalion. The reasons for this are, first, that the junior military class of last year was very small, so that officers had to be drawn from the class below, of persons not yet ready to graduate; second, that of the class some had so far anticipated their work as to graduate last year. No person eligible to this distinction from the present class has been prevented from receiving it. The lists for graduation are as follows: LISTS FOR GRADUATION. The Faculty respectfully recommends that degrees be conferred and certificates be awarded to the persons whose names are set forth in the following lists: College of Agriculture. Degree of B. S. Chas. A. Bopes. College of Engineering. Degree of B. S. School of Mechanical Engineering. Robert B. McConney. John Y. E. Schaefer. Philip Steele.
