The petition of the Athletic Association was referred hy you to a committee of five, which has attended to its duty and is ready to report. I have been informed t h a t part of the hesitation which the Association feels as to the acceptance of the permission therein granted, comes from the appreciation of the cost of the undertaking which a nearer view brings to their minds. Some part of the expense will arise from the need of grading the grounds, especially in the part where the removal of t h e old building has left unsightly and troublesome cavities. Might it not be proper for the Trustees to appropriate a sum of money enough to do thi& grading, at least putting t h a t part of the campus in a presentable condition? I recommend t h a t this be done, and t h a t a sum of money be authorized for this purpose to be expended under the supervision of t h e University officers. The petition of the senior class for use of Military Hall on an evening of commencement week was referred to the Faculty, and t h a t body has agreed t h a t the Hall may be used on Monday evening of t h a t week, for senior reception and banquet. IMPROVEMENTS. The work of resetting the assaying furnaces in the metallurgical laboratory is finished, and the advantage gained very satisfactory. The cost has overrun the estimate, and a farther appropriation from the state fund for metallurgical laboratory is asked for the balance, $73.04. The work was one which it was difficult to estimate. A balance of $509.40 remains in the account of state appropriation for buildings and grounds, which should be closed out by the first of July. I recommend t h a t there be used F o r care of g r o u n d s , a n d for e x t e n d i n g cinder walk a c r o s s t h e a r b o r e t u m . For current repairs, as needed $300 00 209 40
