Mr. Mnrkland, at 9 p. m., reported as follows: 
Your committee, to which was referred the matter of entrance examination and 
standard of scholarship, presents the following report: 
In view of the varied standard maintained by the colleges represented in this 
Association, it is not possible to propose, at tbis meeting, any detailed system of 
requirements or any specified course of study. 
On tbe other hand, the subject referred to this committee is so important tbat it 
should receive careful consideration at the hands of tbis Association. 
We advise, therefore, that a recommendation from this Section be presented to the 
Association, to this effect : 
That a committee of five be appointed by the Association, which committee shall 
report at the next annual meeting, and that the executive committee be asked to 
defray all expenses of the committee. 
That the committee be authorized and instructed to confer with the "New Eng- 
land Association of Colleges/' the "Committee of Ten," the "National Educational 
Association," the "Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education," and such 
other bodies or associations as may be, and to embody the results of such confer- 
ences in its report to this Association. 
Adopted. 
Moved and carried that the committee on programme for next year 
be instructed to place upon the programme one session of the Section 
on College Work, for the discussion of the methods of teaching agricul- 
ture. It was moved and carried that the chair appoint a committee of 
five on nomination. Adjourned, to meet at 2 p. m., November 15. 
Moved that the two resolutions referred to this Section by the Gen- 
eral Session be taken up. Carried. 
It was resolved that this Section deems it unadvisable at the present 
time for the Association to take action on the subject of the two reso- 
lutions submitted to the Association, respectively, by Messrs. Scott of 
New Jersey and Atherton of Pennsylvania. 
The following resolution was then considered: 
Eesolved, That it is the sense of this Association that the executive committee 
should continue their efforts to secure an appropriation for the purpose of furnish- 
ing, under proper restrictions, students in our land-grant colleges with uniforms and 
such other equipment as may be necessary for more complete instruction in military 
science and tactics. 
Adopted. 
It was moved and carried that the Section on College Work recom- 
mend to the General Session that a committee of five be appointed rela- 
tive to the military work in laud-grant colleges. It was moved and 
carried that the executive committee be instructed to secure legislation 
which shall require one officer of the Army to be detailed to each col- 
lege receiving the benefits of either or both of the so-called Morrill 
Acts, which shall request it.
