The Executive Committee presented the following report:

CHICAGO,

Illinois, May 2,1900.

At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees held this day at the Sherman House in the City of Chicago, Illinois, on motion it was voted that the proposition of the executors of Andreas Bolter, deceased, granting to the University of Illinois the Bolter Collection of Insects be accepted by the following agreement: Whereas, The late Andreas Bolter, of the City of Chicago, was instrumental in making a fine and elaborate entomological collection, and provided in his will that his executors should give the same to an educational institution on conditions specified in said will, and WHEREAS, The executors of said Andreas Bolter have notified the President of the University of Illinois that said collection would be given to the University of Illinois upon certain guarantees by them demanded. Therefore, be it Resolved, That the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of said University, for and on behalf of said Board, hereby accepts this entomological collection and agrees, in consideration of said gift, that said collection shall be continually cared for at said University in a fire proof structure, and in or above the first story of such structure, and shall be always kept together and marked the "Bolter Collection of Insects," and that the same shall continually be under the responsible control, care, and administration of an entomological instructor of said University, and under the immediate charge of an expert entomological curator, and this said Committee also agrees that said collection will be returned to the heirs of said Andreas Bolter at any time when it shall appear that the conditions on which said collection was received as aforesaid are not in every particular strictly complied with,—and furthermore, the said University, through said Committee, expresses its sincere thanks to said executors for said gift, and assures said executors that it will exert every effort to make said collection of the highest possible service to the science of entomology, to the end that it may in the fullest measure realize the purposes of its assiduous and generous collector. The Committee adjourned.
