executive committee.
The above committee was also instructed to
consider such consolidation of studies and
assignment of work as will promote economy
without impairing the efficiency of instruction
in the university.
The question of an instructor in military
science was disposed of by the adoption of the
following resolution of Regent MARSHALL:
ReSolved, That the senators and representa-
tives in Congress from this State be respectful
ly requested earnestly to urge upon the hon
Orable secretary of war the immediate detail of
an officer of the army as military instructor in
the State university.
Having disposed of these matters, the doors
were opened to the reporters and such
others as were interested in the proceed
ings, and the following business transacted:
Regent Marshall was excused from service on
the committee on faculty and course of study,
and Prof. Tousley appointed in his stead.
The communication of Prof. Marston relat-
ing to course of study was referred to the
special committee of Messrs. Folwell, Tousley
and CLARK.

mitteeifor recommendation.
On motion of Regent Clark, the claim of
Mr.. Barnard was taken from the table and dis
allowed. it not being an obligation against the

Regent Pillsbury stated that under the act of
Congress granting twenty sections of land,
L. 600 acres, to theU University, in lieu of swamp
lands, some 5000 acIes had been selected,
principally in the counties of Big Stone, Vel
low Medicine and Lac qui Parle, but most of
the public lands in the State suitable for agri-
cultural purposes had been taken up, and it
was question if the remaining 5000 acres
should not be selected of pine lands. After a
brief informal discussion, the matter was left
in the hands of the governor to exercise his
discretion in making the selection.
The board thereupon adjourned subject to
call of the president.
