I t was voted that the words "residents of the State of Illinois" should be inserted after the words "matriculated students" in the first paragraph of the resolution with regard to instruction in music, adopted September 12, 1899. The resolution as amended reads as follows: Besolved, By the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, that all matriculated students, residents of the State of Illinois, shall be entitled to instruction in all departments of the School of Music at no higher rates than students of other departments of the University are charged. That all persons desiring to enter the School of Music shall be subject to the rules in force in other departments of the University touching qualifications and course of study. An examination shall be had as in other departments to the end that each pupil shall maintain the required standing. This resolution shall be in force from and on September 1, 1900. Upon the suggestion of the Business Manager, $100 was appropriated for contingent expenses on the south farm and $100 for contingent expenses in the military department. Professor Shattuck, who, with Captain Clark, had been directed to call for bids for furnishing uniforms to the cadets of the battalion, presented the following report:
