, $639,010 72 We compared all warrants paid during the quarter with the treasurer's record, and found that Voucher No. 19166, amount $175.06, was paid with Warrant No. 19166, amount $176.06. Paid Warrant No. 1506 for $352.75 to order of Watson-Stillman & Co. was missing, and was evidently lost, as we examined the receipted voucher. We also obtained a certification from the State Bank of Chicago, certifying to the balance of cash on deposit to the credit of the treasurer at the close of business September 30* 1912, as being $744,200.77. We proved the footings of the warrant register, summer session fee book, verified all postings to the general ledger, and checked the summer session receipts with the fee book; and examined the receipted bills and compared them with all the vouchers. The following is a reconciliation of the treasurer's account with the books of the University as at September 30, 1912: Treasurer's balance per University books $623,722 17 Addr—Unpaid warrants (Schedule "5") 120,479 60. $744,201 77 Made up as follows' (Schedule "6") — General fund $722,000 34 College of Medicine fund 4,882 22 United States Agricultural Experiment Station fund 4,714 11 School of Pharmacy fund 12,598 10 Difference '... 100 : $744,201 77 We are pleased to report favorably on the accuracy of the clerical work.

RESOLUTIONS *N REGARD TO DR. BURRILL A N D DR. SHATTUCK.

At the request of Mr. Blair, the secretary presented the following resolutions, expressive of the board's appreciation of. the services of Dr. T. J. Burrill and Dr. S. W. Shattuck; these resolutions having been drafted by the special committee authorized by an action of the board on September 19, 1912 (p. 121), and consisting of Messrs. Blair and Hatch. The resolutions were unanimously adopted.

In accepting the resignation of Dr. T. J. Burrill and Dr. Samuel W.' Shattuck, the Board of Trustees desire to place on. record a formal statement. Never in the history of the institution has the Board of Trustees been called upon to accept the resignation of two men whose lives have been so intermingled with the history and growth of the University. , • The large intelligence and sympathy of Dr. Burrill exerted a great influence upon the University in the days of early struggle. He haa contributed to its spiritual and intellectual life more than can here be set down. Dr. Shattuck, as the comptroller of the revenues of the University, has occupied a most important place in its growth. To his sound judgment and sterling character the University owes much of its splendid record in making' the funds appropriated by the State create its splendid equipment. The history of the University of Illinois could not be well written unless it contained the history of these men. The large satisfaction which comes from a noble work nobly done must be their best reward. The Trustees of this University wish to express their appreciation of the great services and sacrifices of these two men to the University.
