ABSTRACTS  FROM  THE  MINUTES  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  TRUSTEES. 
June  I. — Professor  Kraemer,  in  response  to  an  invitation  to  be 
present,  made  some  remarks  relative  to  the  theses  presented  by 
students,  and  advocated  the  continuance  of  existing  requirements. 
Plans  had  been  made  which  would  prove  helpful  to  the  next  class, 
and  he  stated  that  within  a  short  time  he  believed  that  fully  75 
per  cent,  of  the  theses  submitted  would  be  of  such  a  character  as  to 
deserve  recognition  by  publication,  at  least  in  part.  Messrs.  Rem- 
ington, Sadtler,  Beringer,  and  Cliffe  spoke  favorably  of  the  work 
recently  accomplished  and  the  plans  proposed. 
The  Committee  on  Accounts  and  Audit  reported  having  audited 
the  books  of  the  Treasurer,  Committee  of  Publication,  and  Regis- 
trar, and  having  found  them  correct. 
Mr.  Frank  G.  Ryan  notified  the  Board  that  he  would  establish 
a  scholarship  to  be  known  as  the  "  Class  of  1884  Scholarship,"  as 
a  memorial  to  the  class  with  which  he  graduated. 
Resolutions  of  thanks  were  passed  and  ordered  to  be  sent  to 
the  Hon.  Washington  Gardner,  Rev.  David  M.  Steele,  and  Rev. 
Floyd  W.  Tomkins  for  their  participation  in  the  commencement 
exercises. 
Mr.  Joseph  Jacobs,  of  Atlanta,  Georgia,  offers  a  special  prize 
of  twenty  dollars  for  the  best  herbarium  collection  of  plants ;  or  in 
case  a  meritorious  herbarium  is  not  submitted,  then  for  the  best 
thesis  on  the  microscopical  structure  of  one  of  our  medicinal  plants, 
either  official  or  unofficial.
