      Your committee on finance report that they have examined
the accounts of the business agent and treasurer and find
them correct.

the College and Experiment Station. All of these accounts
are kept in a business like manner and we desire especially
to commend the work of the Business Agent. He is careful
and painstaking and the college can have no better officer
than he.
