P R I N T I N G OF B I E N N I A L REPORT.

(7) The State Superintendent of Printing, Mr. J. F. Higgins. has informed the Secretary of the board that he is expecting the University to pay for the printing of the next biennial report, to be published in the summer of 1916. This is a fundamental change in our method of printing the report of the Board of Trustees to the Governor of the State. Up to the present time, the Board of Trustees, through the Secretary of the board, has transmitted its regular report to the Governor and it has been printed by the State Printer and distributed in accordance with the law providing for its printing. My own opinion is that the next report, namely, that for the two years ending June 30, 1916, should be printed in the same way. The Governor of the State has authority to determine this matter.

On motion of Mr. Hoit, it was voted that the Governor of the State be requested to authorize the printing of the report of the Board of Trustees
