To the Board of Regents.

To the President and members of the
Board of Regents of the Agricultural Col.
lege:
We, your Committee to whom was re-
ferred the inquiry touching the management
of the college during the year, have had the
matter referred to us under consideration
and after careful inquiry aud investigation
most respectfully report that the manage
ment during said time has been mainly eff
cient and satisfactory. But for the purpose
of the more prudent and efficient govern
ment of the college in future, we most re
spectfully submit the following recommen-
dations for your considerations:
First. That the rules and regulations
adopted by the Legislative Assembly of the
State of Oregon at its session in 1872 for all
bylaws adopted by the Board for the gov
ernment of the college, be printed in the an
nual catalogues and carefully enforced by
the President and Faculty.
Second. That there be created and ap-
pointed by the President an executive COM
mittee to consist of three members of the
DOdEt, NllU Slltll iSSltC III VIC CiGy VI SOI-
wallis and whose duty it shall be during the
recess of the Board, to assist in the govern
ment of the college whenever it may appear
to be necessary; and to act as an advi sorry
committee on all matters pertaining to the
welfare of the college; to have a general
supervision over the college property and
all repairs thereof and expenditures there
fore as well as ordering and contracting for
all necessary supplies for the college, and
that said committee shall report to the
Board OF Regents at their regular annual
meetings.
Third. That in our Judgment the course
of instruction in this college ought to be so
arranged as to be practical and suited to
the actual wants of our agricultural and in
dustrial community. This we conceive to
be the object of it's beni6cent endowment by
Congress and the State and to that end we
recommend the adoption of the following
course of study in this college; The course
OF study prescribed by the commission and
adopted by the Legislative Assembly in
1872 so far as practicable and that not more
than two books on each of the subjects of
Mental Philosophy and Logic shall be used
in the college, except cases when students
may desire to take past graduate course
which may be established when the wants of
the college require it. We Recommend
this abridgement on these subjects so that
students may be enabled to devote more
time to other departments.
Fourth. That the primary department
be restored for all matters of convenience
and government, and that teachers and stu.
dents in this department shall have the
same rights, and recognition in this depart
ment as in other departments of the college.
and tuition therein not to exceed S.. 90 per
term.
Fifth. That the rates of tuition in the
Preparatory Department be as follows:
$500 Preparatory English and $500 Pre-
paratory Classical.
Sixth. That it is hereby made the duty
of the faculty to arrange the course indicated
in subdivision of this report so far as
practicable and if for the present they find
it necessary to omit any subject therein in
dicated they shall give the preference to the
practical rather than the theoretical.
Seventh. That catalogue be printed
this year and annually hereafter.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
