SAN Francisco, Aug. 23.-The Board
of Regents of the State University met
this afternoon, Regent Phelps presiding.
Reports from standing committees were
called for. The Finance Committee
recommended against the appropriation
of $500 for the purchase of Autographs
and lantern slides for the purpose of adj
vertising the University at Chicago. One
reason is that no students come to the
University from the East, and hence the
value of advertising is doubtful; another
reason is that there are no funds for the
purpose. The report was accepted and
placed on lille.
The Committee on Internal Admins
tration reported in favor of assigning
81 600 for the Department of Mechanics
for the purchase of books, etc.; that a re-
lief map OF the region around the bay be
constructed, at cost not exceeding $500
for the benefit of the Farmers Institute:

structor at chemistry at Sl00 per month:
that S. j. Holmes be appointed assistant
in the biological laboratory at SIS per
month; that A. b. Pierce be appointed in
structor in mathematics at 500 per
month; that A. ID. Hensley be, at 500 per
month, appointed to the same DEPART
ment; that Joseph n. Leconte be an
pointed in the Department of Mechanics
at $50 per month. These recommends
tons were adopted.
1t was also voted to appoint E. A. Her
sam assistant instructor in the Mining
Department, vice h. Deasy.
The committee on the selection of the
Presidency reported that no final concIu-
sion has yet been reached. but that the
committee hope to be able to finally re-
port within two weeks. The report was
placed on file.

munlcatlon recommending the confer
ring OF the degree of Master of Arts on
George +. Williams. The recommenda-
ton was adopted. Professor kellogg also

cations are not in. The attendance will
be larger than during any preceding

ton of tho University extension course
