1918] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 137 this subject. Representations on this point will doubtless be made by all the State Universities and I am hoping for a different ruling. At present the Government has agreed to pay for tuition $0.1766 a day for each member of the S. A. T.C. at the Urbana departments and somewhat larger sums for the city departments. How inequitable the arrangement is may be seen from the fact that the University of Illinois will get $0.1766 a day for teaching a boy trigonometry, while the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will get $1.00 for the same work. It would doubtless be difficult for us to carry out the plan of the S.A.T.C.

Bayley of the Department of Geology, in loaning to this company a polarizing microscope for the checking of our Rutile production. As you know, such instruments are absolutely unobtainable in the United States today, and this action on the part of the University of Illinois will make it possible for us to keep the standard of quality of our ore up to the very best that the machines are capable of doing. Yours very truly, H. H. BUCKMAN V. P. and Gen. Man. RESOLUTIONS OF THE PERCHERON SOCIETY OF AMERICA The Secretary presented also for record a set of resolutions adopted by the Percheron Society of America: Resolved, That the Board of Directors of the Percheron Society of America, in regular meeting assembled, heartily approves of the work now in pro-
