June 25th 1872 Your Committee on Grounds & Buildings beg leave to report
that they have made such an inspection as seemed to them necessary
to the discharge of the duties, and regret to say that
they have found much delapidation in the buildings and great
disfigurement in the grounds. The buildings are out of repair
in various particulars, but more especially in the roofing
of the terrace, and the "Dawson Row". The grounds are checkered
with paths that are unsightly & entirely unnecessary. Your
Committee are aware that the repairs desirable would require
an expenditure beyond the revenue of the Institution at present
but they recommend that provision be made for putting in order
the roofs referred to, as the damage already serious is becoming
worse every day and further delay in the matter will
involve heavier cost. They are also apprised of the difficulty
of preventing the short cuts across the ground but they nevertheless
are of the opinion that the evil can be corrected by
active attention and they therefore recommend that the Proctor
be required to put in operation every expedient practicable
to this end. The Committee on the Library respectfully report that
upon inspection they found the Library in good condition
there are many suggestions that might be made with a view
to its improvements- such as the procurement of glass doors
for many of the cases for the protection of the books, and others,
but the financial embarrassment of the University is such as
to render the requisite appropriations therefore inexpedient
at this time. The Board met pursuant to adjournment on yesterday. The Board met pursuant to adjournement last night. The Board met pursuant to adjournment on yesterday. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
