ILLINI AND UNIVERSITY BULLETIN. UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS, May 5, 1899.

To the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois. GENTLEMEN:—Your Committee on Publication begs leave to report that it has had under advisement and careful consideration the matter of the subject of the change of the Ulini from its present form to another form and plan. Your Committee has carefully heard the outgoing and incoming editors and business managers of the University publication. Your Committee begs leave to report and recommend: 1. That the Ulini in its present form be discontinued. 2. That in place thereof there shall be published a paper in newspaper form under the direction of the Ulini Association and under the general advice of the President of the University; and that there be appropriated in aid thereof $200.00. We also recommend that a high grade scientific publication, in magazine form, be issued by the University authorities as often as the materials are in hand for a number thereof; that so far as practicable each number be representative of a distinctive line of work, or of the work of one of the colleges or schools; that the Council of Administration be charged with the care of this publication, and that $1,000 be appropriated for the support of the same • for the next year. Respectfully,

THOMAS J. SMITH, Chairman. S. A. BULLARD, ALICE A. ABBOTT.
