To the Board of Trustees of the University of 1 llinois. GENTLEMEN: Your finance committee, t o which was referred Professor Shea's communication concerning an appropriation for t h e electrical engineering department, and additional assistants for t h e same, begs leave to report t h a t i t fully agrees with Professor Shea as t o t h e necessity of such appropriation and assistants, and t h a t it believes t h a t t h e board must make such arrangements in t h e near future; in fact, a t t h e first moment t h a t t h e state of our finances will admit. The committee recommends t h a t t h e subject be given careful consideration at t h e next meeting of t h e board. Your committee also recommends t h a t t h e balance of t h e United States fund, $407.64, be assigned t o t h e electrical engineering department, as recommended by t h e business agent. The committee further recommends t h a t inasmuch as t h e apparatus and supplies needed for the physics and electrical engineering departments must be in a large measure manufactured after they are ordered, and imported from abroad, t h e business agent and Professor Shea be authorized to order apparatus and supplies to cost not more t h a n $4,000, payment not to be made until after July 1, 1894. Your committee also recommends appropriations for expenses for t h e three months ending May 31, 1894, as asked by t h e business agent.
