I recommend that instructors in military be appointed for the ten months from September 1, 1904, at a salary of $10 a month: Fred George Pegelow, Edgar White Wagenseil, Charles Edward Armstrong.

Appointments were made as recommended.

Fellowships. That University fellows be appointed as follows: In Organic Chemistry, Burton B. Wilcox, of Kewanee, 111. Mr. Wilcox will take his degree in the College of Science with us this month. In Science of Government, Mr. Yasuzo Sakagami, of Wakagamaken, Japan. Mr. Sakagami will take his doctor's degree in June, 1905. He has studied abroad at the University of France and in this country at the University of Minnesota and the University of Wisconsin. In Mechanical Engineering, H. B. Dirks, now graduating in Mechanical Engineering in the College of Engineering. In Animal Husbandry, Daniel T. Gray, who will graduate from the University of Missouri this June. In Zoology, Maurice H. Eees, of Monmouth College, 111. The Council further recommends that the Trustees approve the acceptance of $300 offered for a fellowship in mechanical engineering by the Champaign, Urbana and Danville Street Eailway Company, to be known as the Champaign, Urbana and Danville Street Eailway Fellowship in mechanical engineering. The Council recommends the appointment of Mr. P. S. Hadfield, a mechanical engineering senior, to this fellowship. This is given for but one year. The Council further recommends the acceptance of two fellowships of $300 each, in insurance; one from Messrs. Kimball & Norton of Chicago, agents for the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company, and one from Mr. W. A. Hamilton, agent at Terre Haute, Ind., for the New York Mutual Life Insurance Company. The appointments to these fellowships can be made only after a test to be given the various candidates during the summer. Each of these fellowships is for one year and the Council recommends that they be accepted and put on the same basis as regular University fellowships.

Appointments were made as recommended.
