Annual Meeting. August 1, 1849. Continued.
Herewith also is submitted a paper setting forth in
detail, the orders drawn by me or the Auditor for
necessary expenses about the University. These amount to
$142.21 3/4. Besides these, there was bought by me of Mr
J. Ballard, for the public Rooms of the University 625 barr=
els of Coal, amounting to $40.62, and also a Bell rope and
Brooms, amounting to 56 cents, which were presented by Mr
Ballard in a Bill cotaining also other items furnished
or contracted for previous to my coming to the University all
which were allowed by the Committee of the Board to whom
I referred the Bill.
The painting of the Roofs of the Wing buildings and the
new roof on the West Wing have been done under the direction
of the same Committee.
Last Winter a general Catalogue of the Institution was
issued, in consequence of the order and appropriation of
the Board at its last meeting. Therein the titles and
designations of the several members of the Faculty differ a
little from the appointments as made by the Board, but
were made thus in accordance with the permission of the
Board, and are now submitted for its approval or re=
jection.
The Records of the proceedings of the Faculty for the past
year, are herewith also respectfully submitted for the in=
spection of the Board.
There have been during [during][crossed out] the year many val=
uable documents of public and permanent [utility][crossed out] interest
presented to the University Library by different persons,
much the greater however, have been received from the H.
S.J: Vinton. The great advantage of a Library con=
taining the more fixed and general Text Books for
the use of Classes during part of their courses has claim=
ed the attention of the Faculty, and something has been
done towards procurring such as one. Through the efforts
particularly of Prof. Ballard, nearly one hundred
dollars have been subscribed for this purpose. Such
a Library, though charging a small fee of each Student
who wishes to avail himself of it, greatly diminishes one
of the Student's heaviest expenses. The propriety of making a
small appropriation to this object, from the funds of the University
is respectfully submitted to the consideration of the Board.
