The Director of the Station, Professor Davenport, read to the Board his quarterly report to the President of the University. The estimates included in this report for the expenses of the current and next quarters were approved and the appropriations for the same were recommended. It was also recommended that the compensation of Mr. W. A. Powers in the Dairy Department be $75 a month for August and September. The Board recommended the appointment by the Trustees of a delegate to represent the Station at the Washington meeting of the Association of American Agricultural colleges and Experiment Stations, his expenses to be paid from Experiment Station funds. The following resolution was adopted by the Advisory Board: Berolved, That it is the sense of the Advisory Board of the Agricultural Experiment Station of-the University of Illinois that a separate building, devoted to the needs of instruction and experimentation in agriculture, ought to be provided at the earliest practicable date.
