UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS,, June 6, 1904.

President A. S. Draper: DBAB SIR : The Committee OD Accountancy hereby makes report of its action for the current year, for report to the Board of Trustees, in accordance with the regulations provided. One hundred and two applications for the degree of Certified Public Accountant have been received up to June 4. Of these, 92 have been applications under the waiver clause and ten for examination. Two candidates' were refused admission to the examination and their checks returned. Diplomas have been issued to 54 applicants ,two failed to pass the examination, eight applicants under the waiver clause have been rejected, and action on the rest of the applications is pending. The term of office of Mr. Ernest Reckitt, who was appointed for one year as a member of the Board of Examiners, has expired, and it is the judgment of the Committee that the interests of the University and of the work of the Board would be best served by his reappointment for another term of three years. Accordingly we hereby recommend Mr. Reckitt's reappointment. No applications for membership on the Board have been received this year. The names of Mr. Maurice S. Kuhns, Mr. Frederick F. Judd, Mr. W. M. Robertson and Mr. C. W. Augustus were left over from among the applications made last year. In the opinion of the Board, no one of these gentlemen is so well qualified for the position as is Mr. Reckitt. Respectfully submitted,
