UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS.

expressing, what I believe we all feel, our indebtedness to Mr. E. E. Chester, of the commission, who, as chairman of the committee on educational exhibits, has ever manifested a deep and intelligent interest in the exhibit by the University and has done much to help the committee of the faculty in its work. Respectfully submitted,

G. E. MORROW.

There are, as usual at this time of year, a large number of things requiring your attention. Members of the faculty can look after numerous matters much better than while the affairs of the terms consume their time and energies; while the passage of the legislative bills makes it possible for you to meet some requests not heretofore feasible. The requests from the various departments for appropriations of money are summarized, in the subjoined list. Full information is contained in the communications themselves, or will be presented as required:
