3. It is necessary to make some provision for the coming year in order to take care of the work previously assigned to the Dean of Women. The women members of the Faculty have attempted during the past year to perform these various duties. While they have been thoroughly conscientious, and, everything considered, highly successful in carrying on this work, they earnestly request that some other arrangement be made by which this responsibility will not be added to the work necessarily connected with their positions. In response to this request it is proposed that there should be a division of the functions which have thus far been associated with the office of Dean of Women, a portion of these duties to be assigned to one person, a portion to another. The following recommendations are accordingly made: (a) That the south wing of the Woman's building be known as the "Woman's hall," and that the charge of those rooms intended to provide social facilities for young women shall be placed in charge of the Head of the Woman's hall, whose function it shall be to organize, as far as may be, the social life of the women of the University and be as helpful in the way of advice and consultation, etc., as possible in these and similar matters, her particular duties to be defined by the President of the University, and that Mrs. Eunice Dean Daniels be appointed Heal of the Women's hall for the academic year beginning July 1, 1905, at a salary of $1,200. (Z>) It is further recommended that Miss Martha J. Kyle be appointed Assistant Dean of Undergraduates for the year beginning Sept. 1, 1905, with the understanding that she perform the duties of this office in addition to her duties as instructor in the Department of English, and that she receive for the same the sum of $250 in addition to her salary as instructor. The duties of this position are to be more accurately defined by the President of the University.

These recommendations were severally adopted.

SCHOLARSHIPS FOR FILIPINO STUDENTS. 4. Application has been made from the gentlemen representing the War Department of the United States asking that free scholarships for the Summer Session be given to certain Filipino students, forty in number, more or less, whom the War Department desires to send to the University during the summer for instruction. Voted that,such students be accepted for the S u m m e r Session without payment of tuition. MILITARY AT INSTALLATION. 5. The Professor of Military Science and Tactics asks that the Trustees request the War Department to send an officer of high rank as its representative at the exercises to be held in October in connection with the installation of the President of the University, and that such representative inspect the University Regiment while present on that occasion.

It was voted to make such request.

6. The President recommended that the salary of Professor Stephen A. Forbes be fixed at the present sum; namely, $3,750; and that the salary be assigned among the various funds as follows: Two thousand dollars to the State Entomologist's office; $1,000 to the general University account, which may be further distributed; and $750 to the State Laboratory of Natural History; it being understood that he is to give about one-fourth of his time to the duties connected with his University work and divide the rest of his time between the work of the State Entomologist's office and that of Director of the State Laboratory of Natural History. Voted that said recommendation be approved.
