 Description: The Board met pursuant to adjournment on the 23d Ult: The Board met pursuant to adjournment on yesterday. 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.
