                    5. We find that the real estate and buildings fund including the
                Mechanical department is indebted to the endowment fund something over
                forty-five thousand dollars for which the farm and buildings thereon are
                security. We therefore recommend that the unused machinery and a sufficent
                amount of the land be sold to pay that debt due the endowment fund.
                after collecting all that can be collected of the outstanding subscrip-
                tions to the real estate and buildings fund as soon as it can be done
                without too great, a sacrifice of property.

                  6. That the running expenses of the University be so abridged that
                10000 # out of the income for said expenses shall be applied to the pay-
                ment of our indebtness, annually until the whole is liquidated and that
                the institution be run on the balance of said income for each year.

                  7. In as much as the financial report of Mr. Swope is yet incomplete
                and is indispensable to a full understanding and final settlement of
                the matters involved in the charges made against the Regent and by him
                against the executive Committee we recommend that as soon as said report
   (369)       is complete said financial report is complete the supplementary report
                of the executive committee read yesterday by Curator Withers reflecting
                on the Regent and so much of 1egent Bowman's report as reflects on the
                executive committee and its administration be in accordance with the
                settled order of this board be refered to three gentlemen of legal ability
                and more worth for the arbitration of all differences thereon one of whom
                shall be selected by the Regent and one by the executive Committee which
                two shall select a third whose decision shall be accepted by the board as
                final that until such award can be had, nothing shall be published in the
                papers by either party that the parties be required to produce before said
                arbitrators in writing such evidence and replications as they may see prope
                under the writings to be adopted by arbitrators.
