Mr. Abbott, of the Committee on Buildings and Grounds, reported that the weakness in the running* track in the gymnasium referred to in Mr. N. S. Spencer's letter received at the'meeting of June 12.1906, (p. 143) had been satisfactorily remedied so that the track might now be safely used for seating spectators, PETITION FOR EASTER EECESS. A petition from many students asking for a recess at Easter was referred to the council with the request that it be granted if it can be done conisistently. FURTHER MATTERS PRESENTED BY THE PRESIDENT. PHYSICS LABORATORY BUILDING. 12. As it appears reasonably certain that the University will obtain an appropriation from the present Legislature for the construction of a physics laboratory, it is desirable that the question of location, general plan of building", etc., be taken up as soon as convenient. Voted that the president of the board appoint a commission similar to that which was appointed in the case of the Auditorium, consisting of members of the board and members of the faculty and representatives of the alumni, to make a report to the board upon the proper location of the physics laboratory, the general plan for the building, and to submit such other recommendations in regard to this matter as may seem to them wise. 13. Professor Baker, chairman of the executive committee of the Alumni Association, submits a communication, asking for an appropriation in support of the Alumni Quarterly. Voted that the consideration of said communication be postponed until a later date. 14. Mr. B. W. Breneman, Assistant Professor in the School of Music, requests leave of absence for two:years for the purpose of prosecuting further the study of music in Europe. The director of the music school states that in view of the changes which may take place in such length of time and because of the many contigencies which may arise in connection, with the continued growth of the school, it seems to him unwise to grant this request. Voted that the board cannot see its way clear to granting this request.
