224 UNIVERSITY OF I L L I N O I S . [July 21 3. That the head of the department be given an opportunity to study with some care the requirements of the mining interests of the State before attempting to formulate a course in mining engineering. 4. That the course in mining engineering be made up of specialized subjects, to be administered by the mining engineering staff, and of subjects already offered by the several colleges of the University. In explanation of these recommendations, I would say that if this general outline is approved, it will be my plan to announce at an early date the purpose of the trustees to establish a department of mining engineering, to define in general terms its scope, and to proceed with the several steps as rapidly as may be practicable, but with the understanding that a complete statement concerning courses might not become effective before the beginning of the second semester of the next school year. The fact that the course in mining engineering will not be expected to differentiate from existing courses until after the freshman year will permit the execution of such a plan without embarrassment to the prospective candidates of the course. Respectfully submitted, , W. F. M. Goss, Dean of the College of Engineering. # The site of the new Ceramics building north of the Engineering Experiment Station and spanning the creek was approved and the Committee on Buildings and Grounds was authorized to prpceed with the construction of the building, the cost to 'be charged against the special appropriation for ceramics, by the following vote:.
