Recommendations.

Specifically your co1hmitte would
recommend as follows:
First, the purchase for the univer-
sity Of the present athletic field. 1t
adjoins the campus and should be
made part of it. 1t is ideally To-
Gated. For many years the students
have had the free use of it, formerly
through the kindness of Hon. J. N.
Evans. regent of the university, and
later through the courtesy of his
heirs. It can be purchased now for
very reasonable sum-
Athletic Instructor.
Second, there should be added to
the faculty of the university a first
class athletic instructor, at salary
Of $24O0 per year.
Not the few who volunteer for
football. baseball, basketball, etc,
need athletic training, but every
student in attendance, unless physi-
cally disabled This training should
be regular throughout the year. The
best results in mental training are
realized only when that is combined
with physical and moral training.
Improving Lincoln Hall.
Third. The basement of Lincoln
hall can be remOdeled into a whole
some pleasure-room for the young
men located there at a cost of $500.
This should be done, and billiard and
pool tables should be put in for their
use. The best way to keep young
men away from down town" resorts
is to provide reasonable and whole
some entertainments on the campus
This is done to advantage at other
universities, and it would, therefore,
be no mere experiment with us.
Fourth, The domestic science de-

partment should in the judgement of
your committee, be made more prac
tical, if it is to be continued as
feature of the university work for
young women. Too much time is
devoted to the making of cakes and
candies; too little to the cooking OF
the average meal, and the economical
management of house hold; how to
select to advantage the materials for
nutritious meal and how to make
and care for common wearing ap-
parel. The problem of good and
economical housekeeping is seri-
Gus one in our day and practical in
struction therein would be beneficial
Fifth. The means for securing and
Pure Water.
distributing good supply of pure
water for the university buildings are
grossly inadequate. The water has
to be handpumped and then trans
ported in hand buckets and barrels,
to the different points on the campus.

for the management Of the university

maintanance or any profits arising
therefrom do not go through the uni
=, =, versity books, although the profits
whatever they may be are reported
as being used for university purposes,
as they should be.
Your commtite believes it would
be proper and wise. from all points
of view, to change this plan and have
a direct accounting to the board ii
i regents of all matters in connection
with the dining hall
Heating Apparatus.
Seventh The present means and ap-
. pliances for heating are expensive
=. and unsatisfactory. Each building is
= separately heated, furnaces. stoves
freplaces, etc, being employed.
There should be a separate heating
plant situated behind Stewart hall
e about where the wooden building is
: now. From this place pipes could
u be run to all the buildings on the
: campus. This would keep the fuel
> in one place and would materi-
VI ally add to looks of the Campus by
Il doing away with the unsightly wood
e piles behind each building. All that
l. would be needed in addition would
be few cords of wood in the base
ment of each building for fireplaces

IL improvements, are recommended BY
