Will Serve Until June %.

President Thirkield presented his
resignation to take effect on or before
June TO- At the unanimous and ear
nest solicitation of the board, he con-
scented to serve in the larger interests
of the university until June IS.
The report of the president covered
all departments in the university. and
included the detailed reports from the
deans of the college of arts and
sciences. the teachers college. the
schools of theology law and medicine.
and also the academy and the COM
mercial college.
The only deficit in five years, amounting
TO about $500 reported by the
treasurer Dr. E. L. Parks. Extraordinary
expenses for repairs to the medical build
ing and for extensive equipment for Spe-
cial department work account for the
shortage Promised increase in the re-
ceipts for next year will provide, it is ex-
pected for this deficit. Rapid expansion
of Howard University. making necessary
a large increase in the teaching force,
the treasurer explained. has given great
difficulty to the financial management to
keep down the amount of the deficit to
this total.
1t was reported by the secretary, G. w.
Cook. that the condition of the buildings
and grounds is better than ever before in
the history of the institution.
