1899] PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. 221 By authority previously given by the Board, Mr. William Alexander Adams has been appointed as instructor in rhetoric and oratory at a salary of $100" per month for ten months; and Mr. James Henri Walton, Jr., and Mr. Frank Roy Fraprie have been appointed assistants in chemistry at $50 per month for ten" months: Mr. Harry Curtis Marble has been appointed assistant in electrical engineering at $50 per month for ten months, and Mr. William Albert Hawley, a student in the senior class, has been appointed assistant in military at $100 for the year; these appointments to take effect September 1st, except that of Mr. Marble which will go into effect October 1st. They are hereby reported in order that they may be confirmed and a proper record made thereof. The necessity for an additional piano in the department of music is imperative. One of moderate cost will suffice. I recommend the appropriation of the sum of $200 for such purpose. I am just in receipt of a communication from Mr. William A. Heath, cashier of the Champaign National Bank, who, acting for Professor Edward Snyder, advises me that on September 30th Professor Snyder will pay to the treasurer of the University the sum of $9,500, on account of his previously announced gift to the University in order to establish the Edward Snyder Department of Students' Aid. A number of applications have already been made by students who desire loans from this fund. Pursuant to action of the Board at the June meeting the Council of Administration will doubtless make recommendations in the premises at an early day, and hence it is desirable that the Finance Committee of the Board shall very soon formulate "plans for the management of the fund, and determine the conditions upon which it shall be loaned so far as security is concerned, or otherwise," as provided in the previous action of the Board.
