To the Board of Irustees of the University o{j Illinois, Your Committee on the School of Pharmacy respectfully reports that it recommends the re-election of the faculty as it now exists for the ensuing year.

$11,797 43

Your Committee recommends that the Business Manager be requested to distribute $1,500.00 of the surplus according to the terms heretofore made. Your Committee also recommends that the Business Manager be authorized to re-lease for the term of one year the premises now occupied by the School of Pharmacy, upon the same terms as heretofore. That, as this new lease would begin the first of May, 1900, and as some repairs are necessary, the Business Manager be instructed to secure, if possible, at once the repairs of the skylight at the expense of the owner. Other repairs, if deemed necessary, to be made at the expense of the school, as hitherto. Your Committee reports with pleasure that the prospect for an increase in the number of students is greater than hitherto, and to aid farther in the general popular character of the school, recommends that Dr. H. K. Eogers, now a resident of Chicago, be engaged as a lecturer on physiology, and that his salary shall be such sum as the faculty of the school may agree upon, and shall be paid from their own, but not from the University fund. Eespectfully submitted,
