REPORT COMMITTEE
TO the Honorable. the Board of Regents of the
University Of Minnesota:
Vn,, oil ~
the board, of date April 18th, 1878, hereto at
tached, to inquire and report of the matters
embraced in the resolution, having had the
same under consideration, and keeping in view
the paramount object of the board to reduce
the expenses without impairing the usefulness
and efficiency of the university, respectfully
report and recommend:
and multiplication of classes and teachers be
prevented by grouping together and assigning
to the proper professor, sub ects that are ger
name to each other, and which at present we
cannot undertake to teach in all their possible
ramifcations.
That the history Of the preparatory depart
ment be principally general history; that spe-
officially Greek and Roman history be taught
by the professors of Greek and Latin respect
lively.
That the higher branches of the
history of civilization and medieval
history, and lecture on fine arts and assistant
instruction in German, be assigned to the de-
partment of mental and moral philosophy.
That mechanical physics be assigned to the
department of civil and mechanical engineer
ing, and molecular physics to the department
of chemistry, and surveying to the department
of mathmetics and astronomy.
That mineralogy and zoology and botany,
under the term biology, be assigned to the de-
partment of geology. That the title of Profess
sor of North Europe IN languages be abrogated,
and the title professor of modern languages
and literature be substituted therefor.
In accordance with these suggestions, your
com mittee offer the following as the general
organization:
William W. Folwell, president and instructor
in social science and logic.
Gabriel Campbell professor of mental and
moral philosophy and the fine arts, and in
structor in German and history.

lu view of the exigent demands upon the
treasury it is further recommended that the
office OF vice president be abrogated; that in
case of the absence of the president the senior
professor present be charged with his duties;
that the salaries of the senior professors as far
as practicable. should be equal; and that under
existing circumstances we are not prepared to
recomn. end any increase of salaries.
