84 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. APPROPRIATIONS. At the last meeting you appropriated $25 'for the repair of a transit which had been accidentally broken. The instrument cannot be repaired for the sum named and an additional $25 is now asked. There is also asked an assignment of $10 for a stand for a sextant in use in t h e department of civil engineering. Professor Rolfe desires leave to order from Germany a type collection of crystaline rocks and slides and also rocks and minerals for class use, in all amounting to $300. Very little has ever been given to t h e department of geology, and this material is of real necessity. For the repair of the rifles in use by the University battalion a sum of $40 is required, and $20 is asked for the purchase of two additional swords needed by the present organization. The storm flag procured last year is nearly worn out and should be replaced. This will cost about $10. There will be some instruction required during the spring term for which provision has not been made, probably costing $175. For this expenditure your approval is desired. Mr. Piatt, who holds a fellowship, has taught during the year so far an extra class, which he will continue to teach. For this he^ should receive additional compensation. I also ask for $200 for commencement expenses. The report of the president of the board of direction of the Agricultural Experiment Station is herewith submitted: Dr. T. J.
