184 UNIVEBSITY OF ILLINOIS. [Sept. 28 EXPENSES AND RECEIPTS. Advertising, postage, stationery, etc Chemical Laboratory-—janitor and storekeeper .. Salaries and expenses of lecturers and teachers . Expenses Receipts from students' fees Excess of expenses over receipts. $ 282 15 30 80 4,915 } $5,258 54 1,900 00 $3,358 54 It will be observed that the attendance is somewhat increased over last year. This was due to the enlargement of the offerings and to more systematic advertising. Yet it is true that the attendance was not what the offerings and the labor warranted us in expecting. I am confident that the work of the term was very satisfactory to students. The cost to the University per student was large, and the tax upon the strength of teachers employed was severe. While I am not very confident of the wisdom of the expenditure of money and strength, for the purpose of obtaining the action of the Board of Trustees in the premises, I recommend that the term be continued next year, and that the sum of $5,000, or so much of it as is necessary, be appropriated for the expenses thereof. F E E S IN SCHOOL OF MUSIC. I transmit herewith a communication from the Director of the School of Music on behalf of the faculty thereof stating objections to the results of the action of the Board touching free tuition in music to matriculated students in so far as it seems to extend the privilege to students without musical preparation. It is more than doubtful if the Board intended that free instruction should be furnished in preparatory and elementary work m music any more than in academic lines ot study. There have been established preparatory and collegiate departments in the School of Music. It is recommended that the division between these be fixed by the faculty at a point which assumes for the present two years of previous competent instruction and serious musical study; that the prescribed fees be charged all students in the preparatory department, and that tuition be free in the collegiate department to matriculated students, residents of Illinois, carrying regular work in the University. AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. I transmit herewith the Agricultural College and Experiment Station estimates of the Dean of the College of Agriculture and Director of the Experiment Station and recommend that appropriations be made as follows: FOR COLLEGE.
