Report of
the Comn. on
the Academy



     The Comnt. on the Acdlemy for 1869 report as follows and on
motion accepted.   The Committee have occasionally visited the
department under the charge of Prof. Heron principal and assis-
tant Smith have grate satisfaction in expressing their conversa-
tion that their duty have been faithfully and efficiently per-
formed the scholars under their charge give evidence of their
advancement in their studies and their correct moral deportment.
The Building for this department are not as extensive and con-
venient as desirable. When means of the University wrill justify
improvements should be made . Respectfully submitted. B. Gratz,
J. Wasson & T. B. Wilkes.
     Though a hospital building is an absolute necessity and un-
til the means can be found to erect such a building rooms for the
sick should be set apart, Common humanity demands this.  It is
the opinion of your Committee that club houses is isolated from
female influence are oversight are not in accordance with the
best interest of the students and that as soon as possible the
whole sistem should be abandoned. We think that a11 the sug-
gestions of Curator Smith's paper are very important and that
the Exct. Womt. should be required to remedy this evil as soon
as possible respectfully submitted.

     Report of Committee to whom was refered the consideration
of the report of Curator Joseph Smith on the sanitary condition
of the Boarding and keeping departments of the students of the
University and other subjects contained in said paper respectfully l
report as follows:  That a human being must have air to breathe
in order to live healthfully and happily is not understood by
many . Therefore but very few even the most costly and splendid
buildings have been constructed with any reference to a constant
supply of fresh warm air in appartments occupied by humanity nor
are there any conveniences found to remove the pozinous air so
continually exrelled from human beings. A vigorous intellectual
growth is impossible under these circumstances. The interest of

the scientific world is in this most important subject is being
rq.pidly developed and philosophers are taking into grave consid-
.ration the best and cheapest mode of giving to the poor a. con_
stant current of live giving fluid. The suggestion of Curator
Smith are of the gravest importance to the interests physical in-
telectual & Morel of every student who enter the healls of the
University and. your Committee would go still          and SAY
that an uninterrupted supply of fresh air to all appartments
should be so constructed that an additional outlay of fifty dol_
lars uppon any cottage suitable for the abode of students tr ould
insure healthy apartments without any case of the occupants so
far as pure air is concerned we would earnestly recommend tht
the Curators should give the most ampel authority to the Exec.
Committee to have the evil so ably set forth in Curator Smith's
report amended as quickly as possible . In order to this end an
hospital.

     /182/ The Committee on the Museum presented their report
which was as follows:
     The Committee on the Museum beg leave to report
     We have Particularily, excamined the Collections of specimens
made toward the foundation of an extensive museum and are impres-
ed with the number and value of those and the importance of this
department already assuming as an interesting feature of the Uni-
versity. Though but a portion of the collected specimens are in
place and on exhibition for want of room and suitable accommoda-
tions it is already one of the best collections in numbEr and
quality in the westC rn country.
     Your Committee would. recommend that every encouragement prac-
ticable be given to this interesting feature of our institution and
that as soon as tihe means cain be com.ann11e l that a building am-,le
and suitable be erected for the museum department. Especially
adebt of obligation is due Reg. Bowman for the energy with which
he has brought this collection to the point of success at so early
a day. The Committee would further recommend that the Ex. Committee
prepare a suitable presented (blank) letters of acknowledgment and
thanks to be sent to all present and future donors of specimens to
the museum collection and that special mention be made by letter
of thanks to the Smithsonian Institution, The British Museum, Dr.
James Knapp of Louisville, Hon. Alfred Allen of Ky. Wm. A. Carr,
of Australia. and W. D. Bryabtt: of Boston.
     Respectfully submitted
