no rules have been elaborated and adopted upon the subject. A committee appointed on the matter, consisting of Vice President Burrill and Dean Kinley, has worked out a code of regulations relating to this subject. Voted that the President is authorized to adopt and publish such regulations in regard to this matter as may seem best. 4. Professor George H. Meyer, who has been absent from the University for the past year, desires to have his leave of absence extended, without pay, beyond the current academic year until September 1, 1906. Voted that such leave of absence be granted. DEPARTMENT OF DENTISTRY TO BE COLLEGE OP DENTISTRY. 5. There is considerable confusion in the announcements of the University relating to the department of dentistry. It is called in some places a College of dentistry, in some places a Department of Dentistry, in other places a School of Dentistry. The chief executive officer is denominated director or dean. It seems desirable for the Board to adopt a definite ruling in regard to this matter. Voted that the dental department of the University shall be hereafter officially known as and denominated " T h e College of Dentistry, , , and the title of the chief executive officer shall be "Dean of the College of Dentistry." 6. Arrangements have been made for holding a special summer session and conference of school officers and teachers upon the problems of the rural school, in accordance with the vote of the Board passed at a previous meeting. It is estimated that the expenses of the meeting will amount to about $800.00. Voted that the sum of $800 be appropriated for this purpose, to be expended under the direction of the President. EXAMINER FOR ADMISSION TO COLLEGE OF MEDICINE. 7. Owing to the ruling of the State Board of Health, it is necessary for some officer, not connected with the Collgee Of Physicians and Surgeons, to conduct admission examinations to the medical department of the University. Voted that the President of the University appoint a man as examiner to conduct medical examinations to the department of medicine of the University, to be remunerated on the basis to be agreed upon, such payments to be made from the funds of the medical school. FURNISHING THE WOMAN'S BUILDING. 8. The time is rapidly drawing near when the matter of furnishing the woman's building should be taken up. It seems desirable that the building be properly equipped and furnished at the very start so that subsequent appropriations for this purpose will not be necessary. Voted that the Committee on Buildings and Grounds acting with tfye Committee on Student's Welfare be authorized to furnish the woman's building, including the rooms assigned to the school of music in the south end, the social rooms, and the gymnasium rooms, in a suitable manner, and report to the Board. 9. There is need of three additional typewriters for work in the administrative departments of the University.
