E. UNIVERSITY POSTOFFICE, G-. K E I T H .

Treasurer,

P r e s i d e n t D r a p e r offered t h e following recommendation, w h i c h was adopted: URBANA, I I I . , March 11,1902. lo the Board of Irustees: For some time it has been growing more and more manifest that there will eventually have to be some radical change concerning postoffice accommodations and mail facilities for the University. I have accordingly corresponded with the postoffice department and inquired whether the department would be disposed to maintain a station of the Urbana postoffice at the University, giving it a name selected by the University. The department has advised me that it would do so, and would appoint a person upon the recommendation of the University to have charge of said office and pay him for it, say $300 per year, provided the University would give a room heated, lighted, and mrnished for the use of such station. Inquiry also leads me to believe that the mails would be carried between the station and Urbana as usual, and that this arrangement would not interfere with the usual free delivery system which we now enjoy under the Urbana postoffice. I am led to believe that such an arrangement would be a very great accommodation to the University, its faculties and students in many ways, and I recommend that you authorize the completion by the President of such a plan as this upon the terms suggested.

A. S. DRAPER, President,

M r s . Abbott offered t h e following resolutions with r e g a r d to t h e School of P h a r m a c y : Resolved, That a two-year scholarship system be adopted for the School of Pharmacy—one scholarship for each county, and one for each of the first ten Congressional districts of Cook county. That these scholarships be awarded to graduates of high schools upon competitive examination, as is the case with State scholarships; and that those succeeding shall register as apprentices in pharmacy. Besolved, That evening classes in inorganic chemistry be arranged to begin with the school year of 1902, upon reasonable term fees, and that the Committee on Pharmacy report at the June meeting any necessary expenses for instruction, or otherwise, which may result.
