UNIVEKSITY OF ILLINOIS.

[June 20

tent the coming year, in order to take up this work of tuberculosis investigation at once. This means the suspension of certain other important work of the department, and by so doing a fund of five or six thousand dollars will be available for the purpose of making a most thorough and careful investigation of the question of tuberculosis and its attendant evils among dairy cows. By doing this the matter can be carried on temporarily, but if as much is done as ought to be done, will finally require larger funds than can be devoted to this work at the present time, I would therefore suggest that the president be given full authority to authorize and appoint sufficient men to carry on this work in the strongest manner possible. Very truly yours,

W. J. FBASEB,

Chief in Dairy Husbandry. On motion of Dr. Davison, $6,000.00 from the dairy husbandry funds was appropriated for investigation as suggested by the foregoing letters. 7. Professor A, T.
