We the Committee of the A. & x. Department beg leave to make the
following report.
No papers having come into our hands, not even the report of
Pres. Patterson which he informs us was handed to the Ex. Regent, our
report may appear some what meagre.
XIse find the Yost building contains much valuable machinery not
now in use and. oing to some extent to waste. Ile have not the means
now to bring this into valuable effective operation and unless this
is done we recommend that the same be sold.
;We recommend as Prof. Crandall has expressed a willingness to
do so that he be requested to deliver Lectures upon the relations of
Forests to Agriculture- Relation of Geology to Soils, Economics,
Entomology or the relation of Insects to Vegetation and upon the
393.
Physiology of Plants. Also that Dr. Peters be requested to deliver in
practical illustrations, Lectures-upon Organic Elements in Soils and
upon Inorganic Elements in Soil and upon the Chemistry of vegetable
growth.
We farther state that Prof. Crandall has lectured upon Practical
Mechanics with practical illustrations in his own Shop at a cost of
$150- per session and this can be done so much cheaper than to put
in operation the Yost building we therefore recommend that the same
be continued.
(394)
Morning Session.
Under the present connection with the State we would only say in
reference to the Military that the instruction seems ample uhder the
labors of the office in charge who is provided by the General Governmexlt-
Classes in Military & Civil Engineering have been taught by Col. Howell
& also a Class in Surveying.
Col. Howell is willing to continue these extra dutins without
additional compensation for which he merits the thanks of all concerned.
We are also requested by Prof. Patterson to return his thanks to
this Board of Curators for the kindness and courtesies in the past, we
ask the same to be received and the Committee discharged- adopted.
