THE WISCONSIN REGENTS.

MADISON, Special Telegram, Jan 20-The
board of state university regents met in
s,mi-annual session here to-day and adopted
an elaborate report prepared by special
committee advocating tho establishment by
the university OF an agricultural course,
which shall consist of series or lectures on
purely agricultural subjects, and such
branches of natural science as specially re-
late to agriculture The design is to afford
TO students instruction in agriculture with
out manual training for twelve weeks each
year at first and to give that Without max
ing it necessary for the student to have any
other general education beyond such as the
common schools afford, unless he chooses
to pursue it for himself when the various
courses of the university shall be
thrown open to him. AS experience teaches
and opportunity ers the course will be ex-
tended and enlarged. This action on the
part of the regents was induced by the agi-
tation of the farmers of the state for an
agricultural college, independent of the uni
verslty, and 1t is expected 1t Will have the
effect of quieting it. Plans prepared by
Prof. A. ID. Conoyer of Madison and Archi-
tect Koch of Milwaukee for replacing Science
hall, recently destroyed by fire, and building
a hall for chemistry and a machine shop,
We're adopted by the board, subject to ratih-
cations These plans contemplated replace
ing Science hall with q structure similar in
outward appearance to that destroyed, but
with widely different internal arrangements
chemical building just north OF Science
hall, l35x45, two stories in height and to
the rear of the chemical building, but separ-
ate from it, machine shop, 7Sx34 feet, Two
stories in height, with additions at each etid
for a foundry. carpenter shop and black
smith shop. The board estimates that the
cost will be as follows

The board adopted a resolution asking the
legislature to make an appropriation to cover
the above, and also recommends for its con-
sderation an additional appropriation of
$40 900 for a gymnasium and arsenal. The
board thinks that $50, 900 could be de-
