Mr. Frink is a graduate in civil engineering of the University of Michigan, ^elass of 1886. He was for six years instructor in drawing and descriptive .geometry at the English High and Manual Training School, Chicago, Illinois; for four years engineer in structural iron and railroad work; for three years professor of civil engineering in the University of I d a h o ; for one year at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and for two years at the University of Michigan with the duties of assistant professor of civil engineering. Mr. Davison is a graduate of the University of Illinois, class of 1898. After two years of practice and teaching he entered the Ecole des Beaux Arts where •with various trips through Europe he has spent four years. During this time he was also architect for the Cuban section of the Paris Exposition. H e is to take the place vacated by Professor Temple. Mr. Field graduated from Dartmouth College in 1902 and the next year received the degree of Master of Arts from the same institution. During the last year he held a fellowship in Economics in the University of Wisconsin. I have respectfully to make the following recommendations in regard to chemical affairs: (1) That the department of applied chemistry be discontinued as such; and that there be one Department of Chemistry. (2) That Professor P a r r ' s title continue as that of Professor of Applied Chemistry, and Associate Professor Grindley be made Professor of General Chemistry. (3) That the headship of the department be divided so that Professor P a r r shall have general charge of all matters pertaining to instructors and instruction, and Professor Grindley, as Director of Laboratory, shall have charge of and be responsible for all business and material affairs. They will then so adjust matters that e^ch shall have supervision over definite subordinates and courses of instruction, and «aeh be directly responsible for the men and work so assigned.

The recommendations with regard to the Chemistry Department were approved.

For reasons which may be fully explained I recommend that the salary of Professor Thomas W. Hughes be made $2,000, and that Assistant Professor Northrup's be $1,600, that Instructor Henry Coar's be $1,200, and that Instructor "William F . Schultz* be $900; also that to the title of " I n s t r u c t o r in M u s i c ' ' for Mrs. Constance Barlow Smith there be added " i n charge of Public School Methods." I further recommend that Instructor Albert E. Curtiss be paid $150 for his services in the Summer School.

The recommendations were approved.

I am not prepared to nominate any one at this time for the vacancy made by the resignation of Dean Jayne, though the instruction given by her in the Department of English as Associate Professor of the English Language and Literature has been provided for in the recommendations herein above made. I t has seemed to me that there must be further consideration of the province of this office and of the duties connected therewith before a selection of the woman can be made. I n the meantime serviceable supervision of and advice to young women can be provided for by the appointment by the Council of Administration of a committee for the purpose, composed of women now members of the corps of instruction. I t will be a good time for the new officer to take charge when the Woman's Building is completed, and service different from that before possible will then be feasible and required.

The recommendation was approved.

There are other modifications made mandatory by changed conditions in what have been called the Statutes of the University, and some provision for suitable revision of these laws may be very properly made by you a t this time. I have in my hands some preliminary suggestions in regard to this matter signed and submitted by the deans of all the colleges here on the campus. I shall be glad
