"URBANA, I I I . , November 25, 1905.

Dean E. J. Towns end, Natural History Building. MY DEAR SIR—I respectfully request that the Trustees of the University be asked at their next meting to appropriate $15,000 of the $20,000 which was granted by the last Legislature for equipment and improvements in the chemical laboratory. The first $5,000 of this amount has been used under the direction of Dean White in putting in additional desks and fixtures in the chemical building. It is desired to expend the $15,000 as follows: First, $5,000 is to be used for making improvements in the laboratories of applied chemistry and in purchasing supplies for Professor Parr's work in technical chemistry. Second, $5,000 is to be used to continue the building of additional necessary desks, hoods, shelves, and for necessary plumbing in connection with the same in the several laboratories of the department. Third, the remaining $5,000 is to be used in purchasing permanent apparatus for the use of the several lines of work in the department. The apparatus referred to is as follows: Analytical balances, electrical appliances for physical chemistry such as thermostats, ammeters, galvanometers, voltmeters and motors, lecture apparatus, combustion furnaces, etc. It is desirable that this money be made available at present although we do not expect, of course, to spend it during the current year. However, if it be made available now we can properly plan to spend it judiciously and to better advantage than we could otherwise. Yours very truly, Director of CJiemicai Laboratory:9 Voted that the balance of the appropriation, amounting to $15,000 be hereby assigned to be expended on t h e recommendation of t h e professors in chemistry approved by the President of the University.

H. S. QRINDLEY,
