PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOAKD OF TRUSTEES.

28§

date. An opportunity is now presented to secure the reports for the latest period through a Boston house, on exceedingly favorable terms, for the sum of $550, which is quite $75 or $100 less than I have known them to be sold for. No law school can be without them. Ours cannot buy them from any ordinary allotment of funds. I therefore recommend that the sum of $550 be appropriated for that purpose: 10. I recommend the following resolutions be adopted and become a part of the University Statutes: Besolved, That no one connected with the University in any capacity shall use for his own pleasure, or for any other personal purpose, any University property of whatever description; and no one shall be permitted to remove from the buildings or grounds of the University anything belonging to the University, even though it may seem to be of no value, unless it be temporarily and pursuant to some well established regulation or usage, or with the distinct approval of the President or Business Manager of the University. 11. I recommend that an additional assistant in the library be allowed at $20 a month, half time with all of Saturday. Respectfully submitted,

A .S. DRAPER,

President. The foregoing recommendations were severally adopted and appointments and appropriations were made in accordance therewith, with the following exceptions: Item No. 4 was referred to the Committee on Agriculture to investigate and report as to whether or not a part of the amount appropriated should be charged to the agricultural department. At a later hour of the meeting the Committee reported against so charging any part of the appropriation and the recommendation was adopted as made. Item No. 8 was referred to the Committee on Agriculture for investigation and report, and at a later hour, upon recommendation of the Committee, was adopted as presented. The action of the Board whereby, at its session of June 9, 1902, it adopted the recommendations of the executive committee of th© faculty of the College of Medicine touching expenditures of the College and of the Dental School, was reconsidered, and the recommendations were referred to the Committee on the College of Medicine for investigation and report. Mrs Caddie Sanger of Peoria was heard upon the question of instruction in music in the country schools, and the subject, together with some papers left by Mrs. Sanger, was referred for consideration to the Committee on Instruction, to which was added for this purpose, President Draper and Mr. Smith. President Draper stated that he had received word from Professor Charles Wesley Tooke, of the College of Law, that he would be absent from the University during the ensuing University year. The President was authorized to take such measures as might be necessary in the premises with regard to instruction in the College of Law.
