The Regents

A special meeting of the Ilegents was held last week, Regents Barbón r, Kief er, Cocker, Cook and Whitman being present. As usual all their business was done in executive session.Dr. Vaughan, Dr. Ilerdman and Prof. Demraon were called before the board presumably for consultation about appointments in their various departments. At the close of the executive session Secretary Wade kindly gave out the following Information. The resignation of Dr. J. C. Wood of the Homeopathie College was accepted. Dr. Arthur R. Cushing was appointed professor of materia medica and therapeutics with a salary of $2200 to succeed Dr. Abel. An appropriation of 850 was made to publish the hospital reporta for the current year. Mr. Blair, Dr. Herdman's assistant of last year, was re-appointed with a salary of 8900. It was decided to have the Waterman gymnasium floored and the inside iron work and roof boards painted. As soon as tne plans lor tne new recitation and administration buildings are cotnpleted, Secretary Wade was directed to advertise for bids and after they are received to cali the board together. The bids for the addition to the anatomical laboratory were opened but not acted upon. The matter was postponed and probably no action will be faken until next year. In the departments of English, Botany and Animal Morphology, authority was given to appoint in each a resident student as assistant with a salary of $300. The duties will consist largely of the reading and correction of essays. No action was taken on any appointments for the practice eourt of the law department. It is suggested that possibly a regent may be the lucky man. So far as could be ascertained nothing was said at the meeting about the Homeopathie and Dental muddies. They probably will come up at the September meeting.
