number of students in his class, attendance, lectures, examinations
and the results thereof, and we congratulate the

and the elevated status of attainment are unexcelled by any
former session.
2. Mr:Holmes, Professor of History, Literature and
Rhetoric reports that the classes in his department are more intelligent
and better prepared than heretofore in consequence of
the withdrawal of nearly half the usual number to the study

of his Maps and Chronological Tables. He needs many additions
to the Library for the recent innovations and expansions of
Political Economy and Science of Society.
Professor Schele de Vere, of the School of Modern Languages,
reports that matters in his department are prospering and improving.
He occupies his Lecture Room on official business
from 4 to 7 hours daily, and thinks that room should be
specially dedicated to his School; and that a separate room
should be given to Prof. Garnett, to whom as the Head of the
School of English, no room has been specially assigned.

Agricultural Chemistry reports considerable improvement in the
state of preparation on the part of students for the work of

Professor J.S. Davis, of the School of Anatomy, has nothing
special to report.

Professor Venable, of the School of Mathematics, reports
fully as to the matters pertaining to his school, and requests
a leave of absence, made necessary by the state of his
health; and if proper provisions are made to supply his performance
of duties in his absence, this committee recommends
that leave be granted Prof: Venable to absent himself from
his professorship in this University for the period of one year.
This Committee feels especial interest in the Report of
Professor Garnett, of the Chair of English, which was established
one year ago under the Auspices of this Board as mainly
now constituted. That Report shows that the design of the
School is fully appreciated, and will grow to be an indispensable
factor in the usefulness of the University. He needs
additional books which are not particularized.
3. Previous Committees on the Conduct of Schools have
reported in favor of the establishment of a School of English.
This Committee recommended the establishment of the same -
and it has been established - and the results have demonstrated
the wisdom of the recommendation.

to carry out the recommendations of this Report, beyond the
usual Library recommendations.
Resolved, That hereafter the Report, which has heretofore been
made by the Faculty of the average attendance and standing of
Students, be dispensed with.

only recommend doing such things as seem absolutely indispensable

herein-after enumerate with probable cost. They would

the assistance of an expert; and that the Legislature will
be applied to for pecuniary assistance for this and other
objects, that they be allowed to make such inspection and report

her dining room; the cost not to exceed that paid by Mrs
Garth for the papering of her dining room.
6. That no action be taken with reference to Prof
Schele de Vere's kitchen until the September meeting.
Your Committee would further say that it will take the
usual sun for annual repairs, and would in addition recommend
that the Proctor be directed to have such blinds put
on the windows of the house occupied by Mr Garrison as will
make it private. W. Roane Ruffin, Cr:
Resolved, That the action of the Faculty, May 12, 1883,
in regard to the School of Athens, and the promised Gessner
Harrison Scholarship is hereby approved.

each Certificate of Proficiency $2.50, and for each Diploma
of Graduation $5.

Medical or in the Law Department $15 be charged.

Department be required to deposit $15, each, all other Students
$10, each, for Diplomas: provided, any portion, or
