To the Board of Trustees of the Agricultural and

In compliance with duty assigned us as special

MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ,Dec. is, 1900 - page 26
have not been spread on record or fully authenticated.
Prof. J. M. Davis excuses his failure in this behalf and
will make record of minutes in book regularly kept for this
purpose.
We report that record of daily grades is kept by the
various members. The record of Prof. P. Wernicke and J. P.
Brooks have not been submitted to us. Prof. Kastle has such
records upon cards ohly. We suggest that a book is more
appropriate for keeping daily grades as matters of permanent
record.

The committee on President's Report submitted the
following:
Resolved: that, inasmuch as a considerable amount
was expended in October to meet the expenses of the battalion
in going to Louisville and return in order to participate in
the military exercises held during the latter part of the
month, the regular encampment provided for in the estimates
for this year be postponed, unless such can be advantageously
held for balance of unexpended appropriation.

Report of Committee on Experiment Station.
Your comrnittee on the Experiment Station begs leave to submit
the following:
It found the Station in a flouring condition, but
cramped for room, especially is this true in the chemical
laboratories and library. The increased work in the chemical
division necissitates additional room, especially will this
be true when the pure food law work is put in full operation.
The library is over crowded. Books are now piled upon the
floors and tables. The Station needs the whole of the
MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ,Dec. 13, 1900 - page 27
Experiment Station Building and some arrangements should be
made soon to that end.
2. A dairy barn should. be constructed on modern
principles as soon as funds will allow, after first providing
for expansion of laboratories and library. The Board has
heretofore appropriated money for such a barn in case the
money was not needed for land, but the purchase of L. M.
Land place took all of the available funds at the time.
3. The farm recently purchased by the College should
be put in through repair as soon as possible. The fencing
now is worthless. New fencing is needed as soon as we get in
possession and perhaps arrangements can be made to do some
work before we get in possession M.larch 1st. Some tile draining
is necessary. WNe recommend that a co=m1ittee consisting of Mr.
Frazee and the Director be empowered to make all necessary
repairs on the f arm.
4. We recommend that Executive Committee be and they
are hereby empowered to make such arrangements as they deem
best to provide additional rooms for the station giving it
powver to purchase the present Station building, and out of
these funds and such additional funds belonging to the Station
as may be necessary to erect a new building for the Station;
or to sell the present building to the Station, and out of
the proceeds of this sale and such other funds as may be
available erect a suitable building for Physics and
Chemistry, and shall have power to fix the terms of
the respective sales.
The Board of Control shall purchase out of the funds
of the Station upon the recommendation of the Director such
furniture as may be needed for the station.
If the work on the Pertilizers shall demand it we
recommend that the Director be empowered to employ temporarily
a chemist to assist in such work after consultation with
the President, and the salary shall be fixed by the
Director and the President.
