PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOAED OF TRUSTEES. RECEIPTS.

119

Inasmuch as the law provides in the case of each one of our special funds that receipts shall be returned to the fund from which they arose and inasmuch as in some cases the money is used many times over within the year, I am led to recommend that the principle be made general and that when a special fund is appropriated for a particular purpose it be understood that receipts arising from time to time during the progress of the work are also appropriated for the same purpose. Appropriations from receipts are asked as follows:

From College Funds— Animal husbandry department Dairy husbandry department Household science department From State Station— Soil examination Corn experiments Dairy investigations Live stock investigations Treatment of orchards From U. S. FundsAgronomy department Dairy department $2,987 14 3,321 75 239 00 877 02 1,148 75 131 24 4,600 45 130 79 124 42 267 67

The matter of new buildings for the College of Agriculture provided for in the college appropriation recently passed by the 44th General Assembly was discussed. Motions were unanimously carried recommending to the Board of Trustees that an official residence for the Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station be provided free of rent as is customary in other leading institutions, and that the next building after the Dean's residence should be a Farm Mechanics Building to cost $25,000. CONSOLIDATION OF SCHOOLS. While no definite action was taken in the matter, it was generally agreed that all connected with the Agricultural College and the agricultural organizations of the State should encourage and lend support to any effort put forth looking to the consolidation of country schools.
