Pursuant to authority given at the June meeting of the board, I have made appointments of the following instructors and assistants for work in the University, and report the same for your information and approval: Mr. Fred Conrad Koch, Instructor in Chemistry, at $80.00 per month, for ten months. Mr. Ira Harris Derby, Instructor in Chemistry, at $75.00 per month, for ten months. Mr. Otokar Ludwig Prohaska, Assistant in Chemistry, at $50.00 per month, for ten months. Mr. William Maurice Dehn, Assistant in Chemistry, at $50.00 per month, for ten months. Mr. Albert Leroy Marsh, Assistant upon the State Water Survey, at $50.00 per month for 12 months. Mr. Nathan Austin Weston, Instructor in Economics, at $80.00 per month, for ten months. Mr. Hugh Joseph Graham, Assistant in Rhetoric, part time, at $40.00 per month, for ten months.

Slocum, Assistant in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, at $50.00 per month, for ten months. Mr. Arthur R. Johnston, Assist in Chemistry, part time, at $20.00 per month, for ten months. These appointees have all begun work. It is quite possible that two or three additional instructors or assistants may be required. If so, they will be arranged for as is practicable. No appointment of an instructor upon the violin has been made, because of the difficulties we have heretofore experienced in that department, and because of the scarcity of competent persons.
