by the Trustees.

In conformity with the action of the Trustees taken Sept
12th, 1905, the building committe appointed by them composed
of C. E. Taylor, Chairmen, W. L. Poteat, W. S. Rankin, L. M.
Gaines and C. E. Brewer, and have begun the erection of the College
Infirmary. The original contract involved the expenditure of
$6,6000, but the comittee for the satisfactory reasons changed the
site of the building at a cost which carried the total beyond
the minimum of $7000 fixed by the Trustees. It is believed that
they will endorse this action of the comittee. The building
is to be throughly modern in it's appointments and large enough
for the increasing patronage of the future. It will be completed
according to contract by August 15th. Recommendations by the
College physicians relating to the management of this infirmary
follow, here:

"TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF WAKE FOREST COLLEGE:

The report of the Chairman of Building Committee is
transmitted herewith (See page 7)

Dr. John Mitchell, a member of the Board of Trustees since
1859 died at Cremo March 3rd 1906. With one exception he was
the oldest living graduate of the College, his diploma bearing
date of 1852. During the years 1856-58 he was financial agent
of the College, and for a number of years after 1891 he was
corresponding secretary of the Board of Education. He was
genuinely devoted to the interests of the College, and his
far-sighted liberality is well illustrated in the fact that the
largest gift for the College Infirmary was made by him. The
Buildings and Crounds Committee, consisting of J. H. Gorrell,
Chairman, James L. Lake, C. E. Brewer, and W. W. Holding, have
distinctly improved the College campus and the condition of the
buildings as well as the service in them, and that too at a
less cost than heretofore.

The Faculty have appointed a committee, consisting of the
President and Professors O. E. Brewer and D. Eatman to lay
before the Trustees the advisability of establishing at Wake
Forest a fitting school under the control of the Trustees. The
committee await the pleasure of the Board.

The Trustees have established scholarships in twenty five
of the high schools of the State, thirteen of which have been
