M.; which was agreed to. The Committee on Inauguration reported their printed programme; which was approved. [See Programme of Inaugural Exercises in Cor. Sec. Report.Rec. Sec.] On motion of Mr. PICKRELL, the consideration of the subjects recommended in the Regent's report was deferred until this evening. The Board then voted to take a recess-the time having arrived for the commencement of the Inaugural exercises. The Board of Trustees was called together again, by the Regent, at five P. M. MAJOR POWELL'S REPORT. Maj. Powell, of Norinal, was present, and, at the request of the Board, gave an interesting account of his "Rocky Mountain Expedition"-stating, also, that the collections made for this Institution were being classified and prepared for presentation to the Board, and would soon be ready. He also stated a plan for another expedition, during the coming season, and made a proposition to furnish the Board a collection of birds, etc., from those to be gathered during his projected tour. On motion of Mr. BURCHARD, the proposition of Maj. Powell was referred to the Committee on Library and Cabinets. MR. DUNLAP'S RESOLUTIONS ON SCHOLARSHIPS AND EXAMINATIONS. Mr. DUNLAP read the following resolution; which, upon his motion, was referred to the Committee on Library and Cabinets: Resolved, That the Regent report to this Board the names of all honorary students, the name of the county from whence they came, the name of the father of each student, and the number of the Regiment or Corps in which he served, in the army or navy of the United States, during the late rebellion. Also, the names of all other students, the counties from whence they came, stating whether they were examined by the County Board of Examiners or by others. If by the County Board, the per centage of correct answers given, as reported by said Boards. If examined by other parties, the mode of examination, and the per centage of correct answers given by each. Mr. DUNLAP also read the following, moving its reference to same committee; which was agreed to-viz: Resolved, That hereafter and until otherwise ordered the Superintendent in each county shall select two assistants, one of whom shall be an operating agriculturist, and the other an operating mechanic; that these shall constitute a board of examiners to examine all applicants for scholarships in the Illinois Industrial University, whether honorary or otherwise: Provided, that they shall examine no applicant unless such applicant is a resident of said county. In case of the applications of the descendants of soldiers and seamen who served in the army or navy of the United States during the late rebellion (preference being given to the children of such soldiers or seamen as are diseased or disabled) for admission to said University, the said Board shall issue to the applicant, who shall be decided to have attained the greatest proficiency in those branches of learning usually taught in the common schools, a certificate setting forth such fact; and also in said certificate to give the name of the father of said applicant, and the Regiment or Corps in which he served during the said rebellion. That the said applicant is not less than fifteen years of age, and of good moral character. That said certificate shall entitle the holder to receive, without charge for tuition, instruction in any or all the departments of the University, for a term of three consecutive years, as provided by section 9 of the act of incorporation. That in case of a vacancy in said scholarship, the Regent shall direct the Corresponding Secretary to notify the Superintendent of Public Instruction in said county where the vacancy occurs of said fact, and it shall be the duty of said Superintendent to give public notice, at least twenty days, of such vacancy, and of the time and place where a public examination will be held for the filling of the same. That said Board shall, from time to time, hold public examinations of all applicants for scholarships in said University, and shall give a certificate to each applicant who shall undergo a satisfactory examination in each of the branches ordinarily taught in the common schools of the State. They shall certify that said applicant is a resident of said county, not more than fifteen years of age, and of a good moral character. That all applicants holding such certificates shall be admitted to any or all departments of the University: Provided, that the Board of Trustees shall have made arrangements for their accomodation. That in case of an excess of students, the Regent shall direct the Recording Secretary to call a special meeting of the Executive Committee, who shall take such action as the case demands, REGENT'S REPORT REFERRED TO COMMITTEES. Mr. BURCHARD moved that so much of the Regent's report as relates to warrants, be referred to the Auditing Committee; which was agreed to. Also, on motion of Mr. BURCHARD, so much of the report as relates to estimates of expenditures was referred to the Finance Committee. |
