V I R G I N I A TALBOT, MRS. F. A. PARSONS, Corresponding Secretary. FELLOWS. President. The executive committee of the faculty recommends to yon the following named persons as fellows for the year 1894-5: For the College of Engineering—Robert Alvin Wood (mechanical engineering), Grant Clark Miller (architecture). For the College of Science—Charles Frederick Hottes. For the College of Literature—Miss Ola C Woolsey. According to your provision four fellows may be appointed each year,, with t h e understanding t h a t one shall be assigned to each college. I t has so happened t h a t no fellowship has heretofore been filled from the college of engineering, but last year the college of agriculture was thus represented. Since the number of students in the various courses of t h e college of engineering greatly exceeds those in the other colleges, and especially those in agriculture, the committee ventures to ask t h a t t w o of the fellowships for the coming year be assigned to the college of engineering, as above proposed. ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTORS. There are several calls for increase or readjustment of teaching force. The needs in this respect of the departments of mechanical and electrical engineering, presented to you from the heads of these departments at your last meeting, are now in the hands of your committee on instruction. I submit suggestions from t h e professor of architecture for t h e conduct of his department during the absence of Professor White. I n case leave of absence is granted to Professor Myers, his place must be temporarily filled. The work now assigned to Professor Rolfe makes it necessary t h a t some assistance should be furnished in his department^ and further assistance in the chemical department is required. The transfer of the work in themes from the junior to the sophomore year in the engineering courses will very largely increase this work next year. Another instructor in this subject for one year is very essential. I submit, also, a communication from Professor Bruner for further help in his department. Professor McMurry desires the appointment of Miss Kate Gary and Miss Mary Karr as teachers in the model school. The question of the appointment of a librarian has already been before you, and I need only emphasize the importance of securing a thoroughly competent officer for th,e place. i ; APPROPRIATIONS. nProfessor Forbes as director of the State Laboratory of Natural Histtory, requests an assignment of the balance of the account in the treasurer's hands for the Laboratory. I communicate herewith from the several departments a list of askings for money, and have for your information full details in, each case. AGRICULTURAL E X P E R I M E N T STATION.
