General Assembly, County, and ie, Military) may, under the law, be extended in time by the President of the University, for a certain purpose. The scholarships granted by the Board of Trustees _(i. e., scholarships_ in Ceramics, Agriculture, and Household Science) do not provide for such extension. It seems to m e that w e ought to have a uniform policy in the matter of administering these scholarships, and therefore I recommend that the regulations governing scholarships in Agriculture, Household Science, and Ceramics, be amended as follows: "Any student holding a University scholarship, who shall make it appear to the satisfaction of the President of the University that herequiresleave of absence for the purpose of earning funds to defray his expense while in attendance, may be granted such leave of absence, and may be allowed a period not to exceed six years to complete his course at the University." O n motion of M r . Trimble, this a m e n d m e n t w a s adopted. SPECIAL APPROPRIATIONS FOR EQUIPMENT (19) A recommendation that the following appropriations from the Reserve and Contingent Fund be added to the list of special appropriations for colleges and departments in the regular budget (see page 573, June 9 ) : College oj L a w For Binding of Books and Periodicals $1500 Military Sundry equipment $1000 O n motion of Mrs. Evans, these appropriations were made, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Armstrong, Mrs. Blake, Mrs. Busey, Mrs. Evans, Mrs. Grigsby, Mrs. Ickes, Mr. Noble, Mr. Trees, Mr. Trimble; no, none; absent, Mr. Blair, Mr. Small.
