Tl e Board then took up the discussion of the matter of German in the University.

The President stated that heretofore the study of that language had been excluded: from the

from the Juni r and Senior High Schoole.• He then went on to state that a petition hed been

brought to hi' by Judge M. N. Grant to be submitted to the Board, said petition being accom-

panied by oth r petitions from eight different counties. The request of these petitions was

thet the stu~ of the German language be taken entirely from the curriculum of the Universi ty.

President Nelsbn stated that he had written to eight or ten of the Presidents of neighboring

Western COlleges and that he had received replies from the most of them. He stated that

they all advocl>ted keeping it in the Colleges, aHhough they thought it .right be a good thing

to eliminate ilt from the High Schools and PUblic Schools. There was IllUch discussion of this

subject. Whi e some members of the Board were of the opinion that it Should be possible for

students to st~ German in the University. "yet it was the sense of the Board, that owing to

the status of ublic opinion, th3.t it might db the. University more harm th3.n good to make it

possible for t e few Who wished to ..tudy German, to have classes in the same in the Univer-

sity of Wyomin It was, therefore, upon motion of Judge J. M. Carey and seconded by

Mr. L. H. Broo s, decided that,

OHing to the feeling created by the War with Germany, and to the further

fact that· so f .1/ students desire to study German in this time, that the teaching of German

be eliminated rom the University curriculUI!l until· a Treaty of Peace shall h3.ve been

signed be~veen the United States, the Allies and Germany.

The Board then took up the question of the restoration of the Tower.

The Secretary resented a report made by the Co~ssion appointed by the Executive Comoittee

with respect t this matter.

The Report is as follows:

"The members of the collllJlission appointed by the ExecutiveCo~nittee of the Board of Trustees to consider the re-build.ing of the Tower on the Main Building of the University haveinstructed me, as chairman and secretary) to transmit to youthe follo\1L'1g report, which was u->1animously adopted by themembers in their session, Saturday, Mao' 4th.

"In sua''lce of the suggestions in your letter, the commission consideredthe following three points. reporting on each indicated:-

1. ptacticability:- The base of the ,tower, as it naN stands.adj~ed entirely safe as the foundation for any reasonablestructure which might be erected on it. The failure of thetower is considered to have been·a matter of excessive weightand poor masonry. A modsrn structure of steel and re-enforcedlconc ete could be so planned as to reduce ~he weight some fifteentons while reproducing almost exactly the appeara"ce of thetowe as, originally built.

2. C st:- Rough estimates upon the cost of any proposed recon­at tion were made as follows:- The restoration of the tower,

I 'as spggested, would cost between $12.000.00 and $15.000.00 withallorance for the rapidly advancing cost of materials and labor.The onstruction of a gable to replace the tower, as suggested in Mr. Dubois'draw'ng, would cost from $5000. to $7000. The erection of any form oftowe other than that originally used was considered inadvisable fromeit r fina."cial or architectural point of vie'.'.

3. building of StairRay:- The Commission respectfully suggeststhat. the tower base being entirely trustworthy, it is unnecessaryto case up the stair.V'ay leading through it, and from the standpointof f re protection, very dangerous. The shape of the stairway is,howe er, unsatisfactory, and the commission hereby submits the draftof plan for the construction of one continuous stair-case, fourfeet wide, which, it is believed, will solve the difficulty in themost satisfactory manner possible in the space available.

Theswhicsati

suggestions are submitted with the hope that the' purpose forthe commission was appointed is hereby fulfilled in a manner

factory to the Executive Committee and the :BOard of Trustees."

Very respectfully yours,
