That $1,000.00 be appropriated for assistance by students who may be employed by the President from time to time, as may be neccessary. Further Appointments.

The erection of new and larger shops creates the need of additional help in them. For several years, in connection with the head of the department of mechanical engineering, I have been very anxious to add a professor or assistant professor of machine design to that department. It also seems necessary to add an assistant or instructor in the machine shop. It is estimated that the first of these could be secured for $1,600.00 per annum, and the second for $700.00 per annum. The need of an instructor in municipal and sanitary engineering is quite apparent. This would likely cost $1,000.00 a year. Some progress has been made in looking for suitable men for such positions, but any definite recommendation is not yet practicable. It is recommended that the President be authorized to pursue the search and, if deemed best, close arrangements for such positions within the amounts named. There are a number of instructorships now existing for which I have not recommended appointments, for the reason that I am not yet ready. The increase of students at the opening Of the fall semester is very likely to create exigencies which must be met. I recommend that you authorize me to act in such cases and report as soon as practicable. Clerical Assistants.

1. Lillie Heath, Secretary to the President, $1,000 00 a year. 2. Levi Augustus Boice, Clerk in Office of Registrar, $840.00 a year. 3. Oren Elmer Staples, Clerk in Office of Business Manager, $720.00 a year.
