charge  the  Centennial  Fund,  and  asked  that  the  regular  order  of 
business  be  suspended.  This  being  agreed  to,  Dr.  Stout  was  intro- 
duced and  presented  a  detailed  report  of  what  had  been  done  up  to 
this  time.  The  main  object  of  the  movement  is  to  obtain  by  sub- 
scription and  bequest,  as  may  be  most  acceptable  to  the  donor,  a 
fund  of  $500,000  or  more,  to  be  devoted  to  improvements — location, 
building,  equipment,  etc.,  and  to  the  establishment  of  an  endowment 
for  the  College.  The  action  of  the  committee  was  endorsed,  and 
the  Board  gave  assurance  of  furthering  the  movement  in  every  way 
possible.  ;  :   M  i  j  Jul 
Committee  on  Examinations  reported  they  had  been  engaged  for 
several  months  in  formulating  a  set  of  rules  for  regulating  the  con- 
duct of  examinations  in  the  College.  A  number  of  recommendations 
were  submitted  and  extended  discussion  followed.  As  this  was  an 
important  matter,  it  was  voted  that  further  consideration  of  the 
subject  be  deferred  to  an  adjourned  meeting  to  be  held  February  9th. 
The  Dean  presented  the  form  of  certificate  which  the  Board  had 
some  months  before  referred  to  a  Special  Committee  for  considera- 
tion, covering  special  branches  of  study.  The  form  met  with 
approval,  and  it  was  voted  that  certificates  be  finished  in  accordance 
with  the  outlines  proposed. 
An  application  for  active  membership  was  received  and  referred 
to  the  appropriate  committee.

cussion, participated  in  by  many  of  the  members,  action  was  deferred.
