Total probable expense for year. .$12,912 S5
Come Of the minor items in this estimate are,
4 ] fear, too small.
would respectfully suggest that to the president
and the two professors be entrusted the prepare
ton OF q course OF study to be reported to the
board Of supervisors ct the regular quarterly
meeting In December; and that meanwhile the
Faculty be empowered to adopt such course OF
study ~ may 10 them seem best.
wound also suggest that the rules and regula-
lions OF the Ia Louisiana State University be
temporarily adopted 40 those Of the new school,
subject to such notifications as the President OF
the faculty and the vice president of the board
Of supervisors may deem necessary to conform
~ the laws establishing the institute; and that
sid notifications OF those rules and regulations
Is reported at the December meeting Of the
board Of supervisors.
j would fur her suggest the propriety of COM
mnnica,ing with the honorable the Secretary Of
War relative to the assignment of an officer OF
the United States Army 10 this institution to give
instruction in military tactics, strategy, etc. in
accordance with general law Of Congress, pro-
! yidiDg for su3h assignment to the several State
agricultural aud mechanical colleges.
would suggest too, that the vice president OF
the board Of supervisors and the president of the
faculty be specially empowered to make such ar
rangements as they may deem necessary fer the
BOARD AND LODGING
Of students in the building of the institution.
provided that said boarding department must be
gelf-sustaining and that DO part of the endow-
ment OF the institution shall be used in defraying
the expenses Of boarding and lodging students,
and that these two officers shall report any such
arrangement which they make to the board of
supervisors at the December meeting.
There are other matters Of importance to be
laid before fhe board, but my time is out and the
above IL all perhaps that the board has now time
70 consider.
Respectfully submitted,
B. F. BOYD, President
Before the adoption OF the report as given.
Gen. Brent asked il the rules referred to were
printed, and what they related to.
Dol. Boyd replied that they included every.
thing, but
WERE IN MANUSCRIPT.
and the only reason he had for the suggestion
WAS to get the school started, to get it in shape.
Mr.. Strickland presented the following amend
ment % the second proposition, which was
Resolued. That when quarters are allowed to
any professor the same shall be assigned by the
PRESIDENT OF THE FACULTY,
provided that not more than $500 per annum be
expended for any one professor, and whenever
practicable and convenient quarters shall be as
signed in the university building.
Gen. Brent Thought, after the adoption of the
estimates, that perhaps the rules alluded to re-
ferred only
TO THE UNIVERSITY.
