The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Regents was held in

Bray and Booher. Absent: Regent Kirman. Regent Booher acting
as Chairman.
Minutes of January 2 read and approved.
Upon the recommendation of the President and faculty, Richard
Tobin was granted a diploma from the School of Mines as the
Class of 1901.
The following letter was received from Professor Young:
Dr. J. E. Stubbs
President
State University
Dear Sir:
I respectully suggest that the following rule be adopted for
the guidance of your Professor:
The Assaying and Metallurgical Laboratories are to be used
only for the purpose of student instruction, post graduate
instruction, research work and such analytical and assaying
work as may be required by Law.
My reason for proposing this rule is that recently and in the
past, requests for the use of the Laboratory for commercial
work have been made and have been refused in most cases.
These refusals have in some cases resulted in personal feel-
ing and it is to avoid this that the above is proposed.
Upon motion, the above rule was approved.
On the recommendation of President Stubbs, Professor Young was
authorized to furnish Mr. M. W. Ogden of the Pacific Jupiter
Steel Company of San Francisco such information relating to the
analysis of iron ores in this State as may be in his possession
or on record in his Laboratory.
Communication from Marcus Frederick relating to insurance on
University buildings received and ordered place on file and the
Secretary of the Board was instructed to notify Mr. Frederick
that no insurance expires until next August, at which time his
application would be acted on.
Upon the recommendation of President Stubbs, it was ordered that
the records of the Mining Laboratory shall be kept opened for
the inspection of the public at such times as shall be convenient
to the Professor in charge.
