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 port, which was a p p r o v e d for record:

URBANA, ILLINOIS, March 12,1900.

To the Board of Trustees. Your Committee on Buildings and Grounds makes this report concerning matters referred to it to be performed during the last summer vacation and subsequently. Much of the work was not fully completed until this fall, and so your Committee has delayed its report until this time. The roof of the Gymnasium was fixed by putting a composition roof over the old tin roof. This roof cost $4.25 per square and is the best of its kind that is made. It has proved very satisfactory. A coat of asbestos paint was put on the roof of the Armory. The roof is now in good condition and will last for some time.longer, if decay from the under side of the tin does not develop rapidly.
