The resolutions passed by the Board of Overseers on Nov. 7, 1894, in relation to the lands and buildings of the College, were again considered, and the following votes were thereupon passed: Voted that the President and Fellows do not think it desirable that a complete scheme for the future development of the College property should be formulated. No sufficient knowledge can be had as to the amount of future gifts and bequests, or the conditions on which money is to be given, and if adjoining lands not now belonging to the College should be included in such a scheme the difficulty of buying them at a fair price would be greatly increased. Voted that the President and Fellows do not think it expedient that a standing advisory committee should be established as suggested, to pass upon all artistic questions where University property is concerned. Artistic questions for the College can very rarely be separated from questions of cost, of utility, and of express or implied obligations to benefactors, for all of which matters the Corporation are responsible. Voted to inform the Board of Overseers that the President and Fellows have in preparation a new plan of the College grounds in Cambridge showing the sites of existing buildings and containing some suggestions for open areas, roadways, and future sites which have heretofore been made by Mr. Olmsted, Mr. Richardson, Mr. McKim, and other experts from time to time employed by the President and Fellows.

That the certificate of the President of the University, hitherto given to successful candidates in the Examinations for Women, be discontinued after the examinations of 1896, and that Radcliffe College be authorized to grant a similar certificate.

Voted on recommendation of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, that the acceptance of an assistantship by any person holding, or appointed to a Fellowship or Scholarship in the Graduate School, without the express permission of the Corporation to hold both appointments, be regarded as a resignation of the fellowship or scholarship; and that the acceptance of a fellowship or scholarship in the Graduate School by an assistant, without express permission of the Corporation to hold both appointments, be regarded as a resignation of the assistantship.
