ono proceeded to read his report to the board, after which his re.
concentrations were take up and considered in their order. One of
these was the urgent need of a hospital building in order to take care
of any outbreak of sickness, such as that which occurred at the Dor
tory this spring, where they had smallpox, measles and chickenpox
at one and the same time. He also strongly urged the building and
eauipping of q Science building, as the present Science building is
completely over-run and room must be made for scientific expert
ment, which is paid for by the Government, or the appropriation for
that purpose would be discontinued.
Dr.. Hamilton made the statement that he, in company with two
or three other physicians were starting a private hospital and would
undertake to take care of any patients from the University in a few
weeks. Inasmuch as the Board were short of money for building
purposes it was resolved to trust to Dr. Hamilton and his company to
take care of any sickness that might arise and to that every energy
would be bent to the erection of the new Science building. A res
olution was introduced, empowering the executive board to advertise
for plans and specifications for such a building, the same to b. sub
mitted to the board for its approval at the semi-annual meeting in
December.
The library fees of students "a raised from So to IS for each
semester.

presented, which was substantially as last year.
F. S. Burrage was chosen secretary with an increase in salary
Mr. Burrage was very highly commended, both by the president and
the members of the board for his faithful and efficient work

suing year, which resulted as follows:
