At present/the forest nursery is scattered to the most remote parts of the farm. (b) Researah worK under "Adams1' is requiring more andmore land as near the laboratories as possible, and (c) The fertility experiments recently established are in similar and greater need than (b). lege Farm Department for the production of crops and pasturage.

President J.L. Snyder: May 16, 1910. Your committee desires to maKe the following recommendations: :(1).. That the entrance requirements be made the same as for other courses in the college leading to degrees. (2) That the length of the course shall be four years exclusive of the preparatory year when entrance is made on that basis. (3) That this course be made to coordinate with the freshman and part of the sophomore year of the agricultural course. (4) If recommendation three is adopted by the faculty, the committee feels it would be wise to have the course outlined up to the point of specialization as soon as possible, leaving the arrangement of the course from this point on to those who will be appointed to taKe charge of the worK. R.S. Shaw Charles E. Marshall F.s. Kedzie. mmmm. mmmm. 45 On motion of Mr. G-raham, it was decided that the College shall - • furnish a dinner to the alumni, the expense of which is not to exceed #350.00.- On motion of Mr. Oberdorffer, the secretary was instructed not to pay the contribution for improvement of macadam road road until the road shall be in a more satisfactory condition. On motion of Mr. Doherty, there are to beoffered to each county, • i in which corn growing contests are carried on, with a membership of not less than twenty-five, two short course scholarships of the value of #5.00 each. The matter relating to green-houses for the Horticultural De partment, and the matter of the abandonment of the drive in front of the labor- - atories, was deferred until the next meeting-. On motion of Mr. Doherty, an additional apportionment of #150.00 was made to the institute Fund for the purpose of running another institute train. The committee on employees submitted the following report in re ference to the salaried employees of the college, which was on motion of Mr. Doherty, adopted. jAlumni IDinner Macadam Road, Con dition of Short Course Scholar ships. Greenhouses for Hort. Institute Train. Report of Committee on salaries I TO THE HONORABLE STATE BOARD OP AG-RieULTURE: May 26th, 1910. ' • Your Committee on Employees begs leave to make the following re- - port with reference to the list of employees for next year. The Committee re ceived recommendations from the head of each edpartment with reference to the employees in his department. There have been a number of requests for new teach ers* The Committee does not deem it wise at present to grant these requests. If, upon further investigation, it seems necessary to increase the number of teachers, as it no doubt will in some cases, the committee requests authority to do so. The salary roll for the- last five years has Increased at an average rate of over fifteen thousand dollars per annum. The recommendations in this report will increase the salary list about #9^0.00. With new teachers that may be added, we believe that it will be fully within the average increase of the last five years. It is scarcely necessary to say that the increase in the cost ©f living and the unusual demand for well trained young men and women makes it almose compulsory on our part, In order to hold a reasonable number of our better young teachers, to make the increases recommended.
