PROCEEDINGS OF BOARD OF TRUSTEES. 235 animations as are usual in the department to which it belongs. I t is further advised t h a t opportunity be given to university students, conditioned in their regular courses, to work off those conditions at this summer school. The libraries and laboratories of t h e University should, of course, be open to students of this school. In order to reduce as much as possible the expense of this session, which must at best far outrun receipts, we advise t h a t different subjects be thrown together under one instructor whenever this is feasible. Zoology and physiology may be thus united, pedagogy and psychology, political economy and history, with the effect to reduce the number of instructors required to seven. I t is to be presumed t h a t those teaching only single subjects at this summer school need not be engaged more than half their time. On the supposition t h a t those thus employed would be willing to give their services for half the salary above recommended, we find t h a t t h e total expense for salaries could not well be less than $800, and would more likely approxomate $1,000 for the session. On t h e other hand, the income of t h e school for tuition at an estimated attendance of fifty students would not exceed $500, leaving an estimated deficiency of at least $500 to be met by appropriation. I t seems to us t h a t the trustees should appropriate $1,000 for salaries and, say, $200 for advertising and incidental expenses,— or so much of these sums as may be found necessary,—with the understanding t h a t all receipts for tuition, laboratory fees, etc., shall be applied in payment of salaries and expenses before this appropriation is drawn upon. We have further to recommend t h a t Professor McMurry be made di" rector of the school and charged with all details of the arrangements and w i t h the general supervision of its work, under regulations to be established by the trustees and faculty; and t h a t Professor Kinley be made assistant director, to take charge during Professor McMurry's absence. As the committee on instruction has not had an opportunity to communicate personally with the members of the faculty understood to be available for summer school work, we suggest t h a t this committee be empowered to make engagements within t h e limits of the appropriation for salaries.
