The Regents' Proceedings

The Board of Regents met Saturday, but owing to the fact that Regent Whitman, the chairman of the committee on buildings, had been called to New York city by the illness of his son, they were unable to come to any decisión as to the addition to the law school. The other proceedings are thus detailed in the Free Press: Another subject which was discussed thoroughly was appointments in the law school. In this department there are at present two vacancies, caused by the resignation of Prof. Rogers and the death of Prof. Wells. Really there is a third vacancy, as the talk among the Regents for some time has been in favor of a permanent appointment in place of the non-resident lectureships now held by Judge Brown and M. M. Bigelow. The feeling was that Prof. Bigelow would be appointed to one of these permanent chairs, but the sentiment of the Regents was that at least one more should be added to the resident faculty, and Prof. Bigelow does not feel like removing to Ann Arbor at present. The question of appointments in this department was left open until a future meeting, the power of filling the chair formerly occupied by Prof. Wells being referred to the law committee with power to act during the present year. The board was in executive session during the entire meeting. On motion of Regent Draper the by-laws were amended so that regular meetings will be held on the third Wednesday of each month during the college year, excepting June, and so business will not pile up for the Regents as it has in the past. A resolution was passed authorizing the the enlargement and altering of the president's house. Dr. W. A. Campbell was appointed demonstrator of anatomy and secretary of the medical faculty at a salary of $1,500 per annum. It was voted that the expenses of examining committees of the faculty who visit schools for the purpose of examining their qualifications be hereafter paid by the university instead of the schools, as has been done heretofore. The following appointments were made for 189 1-2, at the regular salary of $900, as instructors : Messrs. Huzzy and Markley, mathematics; Mr. Denney, Latin ; Messrs. Marden and Levy, French ; Messrs. Hench and Winkler, Germán ; Mr. Newcome, botany ; Mr. Morley, descriptive geometry and drawing ; Mr. Swiggett, Germán and French ; Mr. Lyman, mathematics ; Mr. Campbell, astronomy; Mr. Sober, Greek and Latin ; Mr. Clement, Latin ; Miss Hunt, drawing. Relative to an increase in the fees of foreign students for admission to the university, the board adopted the following resolution : Resolved, That it is apparently the wish of the members of the Legislature that the fees of nonresident students should be raised, and whereas, since the calendar announcing the fees for the coming year has been issued, it is impracticable to make an addition to the fees for the next year, therefore, Resolved, That it be announced in the next calendar that the annual fee of all non-resident students who shall enter the university on or after June, 1892, shall be #10 greater than that now required.
