PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.,

277

CHICAGO, March 17, 1900.

Mr. W. L. Pillsbury, Begistrar, University of Illinois, Champaign, III. DEAR S I R : At a meeting of the Executive Faculty of the College of Medicine of the University of Illinois held March 13th, the Faculty recommended to the Board of Trustees of the University the following schedule of fees for the College:

^Matriculation fee, payable annually Tuition fee, for each term. Breakage deposit, for each term. Maternity hospital fee, senior year /. | I $5 55 10 10 00 00 00 00

These fees practically present no change from the fees previously prevailing. Two terms constitute a year's work, so that the tuition fee is made $110.00 a year instead of $105.00 as heretofore. The breakage deposit has been heretofore $25.00 a year in the Freshman and Soph6more years, nothing in the Junior and Senior years. It is now made $20.00 a year, that is, for two terms, throughout the four years. Yours truly,

W M . ALLEN PUSEY,

Secretary.

T h e C o m m i t t e e on B u i l d i n g s a n d G r o u n d s m a d e t h e following r e p o r t , which was a d o p t e d :

URBANA, ILLINOIS, March 12, 1900.

To the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois. Your Committee on Buildings and Grounds reports as to progress in the construction of the new buildings, that work has gone on during the winter as fast as practicable in cold weather. Your Committee authorized some changes in the dairy building which the instructors in that department considered necessary to its proper and successful operation. These changes were inconsiderable and the additional cost is $352.75. Because of action taken by the Board at the December meeting and subse quently at the meeting of January 10, 1900, your Committee has been careful to inquire as to the necessity of these changes before authorizing them and they have been made in the belief that the interests of the dairy department will be promoted thereby. There has been a considerable saving from the amount of the original contract, and as the additional expense here authorized has not been equal to the saving, we have not, as yet, exceeded the amount of our contract. We attach hereto the report of the architect, Mr. J . C. Llewellyn, and ask that it be printed as part of our report. Respectfully submitted,

S. A . BULLARD,

Chairman of Committee on Buildings and Grounds.
