MflUTES OF 'ME BOARD OF TRUSTES      -      December 13, 1910



     "Indeed, I feel that the possession of such a gallery as I have described is

a pressing and immediate need and earnestly hope that the Board will find it pos-

sible to authorize its construction.   If it were ordered at once, it could be

built and ready for use by January, the beginning of the second term, and the scheme

of instruction. that I have planned. could be carried out in its entirety.  Otherwise

the subject of rifle practice, too long ignored already, must be abandoned for another

year.

     "It have made this report as short as possible to economize time and space, and

have been forced, therefore, to ignore many points and to leave out much that is

highly important. However, I am prepared to appear before the Board at any time and

clear up any points upon which the Board may desire further information.

                                   'Very respectfully,

                                     (Signed) Hugh MI. Kelly,
                                        1st Lieut. 26th U. S. Infantry.

"Gentlemen:

            "Oddly enough, since writing the foregoing report and as I was about to

dispatch it, I have received the attached communication from the Secretary of the

National Rifle Association.   As the letter and circulars illustrate very clearly one

of the points in my report, I forward them for the information of the Board.

                                    "Very respectfully,

                                      (Signed) Hugh MI. Kelly
