This committee makes the following recommendations to the Aca¬ 
demy : 
1. That this committee be continued for another year, and that the 
Librarian be added to it to replace Professor Hobbs. 
2. That the Academy sanction the expenditure of such a sum in its 
work during the coming year, as may seem proper to the Council. 
Finally, this committee desires to acknowledge great indebtedness to 
the University Librarian, for his readiness at all time to cooperate with 
us. 
Respectfully submitted, 
Edward Kremebs,
