Glenn, Treas urer of the Alabama Polytechnic 1n- stitute. of Auburn Ala, from January r., 1899, the date of the last examina- tion, to June 1, 1901. and respectfully submit the following report.
 On examination l find that MT. Glenn has properly charged himself with all moneys coming into his pos- session and custody as Treasurer of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute from the State and the United States treasurles.
 These funds are divided into the "En- dowment Fund" "The Morrill, Fund, "The Agricultural Fund" and ''The Hatch Fund" Separate and distinct accounts are kept of the receipts and disbursements of these funds.

 MT. Glenn mas also properly charged himself with all the moneys paid in by the head of the different departments of the institution and with amounts paid in by the students on account of surgeon, library. incidental and con- tingent fees. These amount in the ag- gregate to $l3,221 33, making a total of $155, ,602.1 10 receipts between the last examination and this report.
 Mir. Glenn holds proper vouchers for all of this amount except the balance of $o.69i.T cash on hand as shown by his report made to the Board of Trus- tees June 1, 1901. and errors hereinafter stated
 Il have carefully examined. checked, and compared each voucher for which MT. Glenn has taken credit. with his books. and find the same correct ex- cept voucher No. 60 In the Library Account" 1s00-Ol. paid May IS, 1901 l. In this account he made an error of S1 against the Institute. The voucher is $2.34, but entered on the book $3.34. The vouchers for the Building and Repairs account for 1S99-1900 are cor rect. but the addition IS erroneous. This account amounts to $1,514. 80, but Is added up on the book $1, 509. .55, mak- ing an error Of s5.25 against MT. Glenn. The vouchers for the Printing and Advertising" account for 19s9-1s00 are correct but there is an error in the addition,
 This account amounts to sSo9 .6s. but Is added up on the book $Te9, ,69, making an error of $10 against .Mr. Glenn. MT. Glenn has thus made errors of s1 against the institute and $t5. .25 against himself. leaving Eslance of $14. .25 due him. These errors are purely clerical In character and reflect no discredit whatever on Mir. Glenn or his assist ant. In fact. MT. Glenn is a very com petent and efficient officer and deserves the highest conmendatio tio1 for the ac- curacy and method of his bookkeeping and filing his vouchers. Every vouch- CT for each item of the several ac- counts of the different funds is consecu- lively numbered. properly dated and without exception in it's place. The several items are all charged to the proper account. This greatly facili- tsted the examination.
 I have compared the books and ac- counts of MT. Glenn with his publish ed reports for 1s9s-1Ss9, 1s99- 100 and 1so0-19O1. and with the report of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute for 1S9S-S9, 1899 and 1900. made by the Board o: Trustees to Governor Joseph F. Johnston for transmission to the General Assembly. session of 190O- 1901 and find the same correct. except az above mentioned.
 MT. Glenn's report to the Board of Trustees made June 10. 1901, showed a balance of $5.691.7 77. This belonged tn the Agricultural fund. He keeps ti~ accounts with the Bank of OreI'ka. q. Opeiika, Ala. This book was balanced June 5. 1901. and showed a c.edit ul S5. 1S9 16 to this fund.
