Excerpt from Biennial Report of the Board of Trustees: December 1874 to September 30, 1912 Sir - In accordance with the eighth section of the act incorporating the Southern Illinois Normal University, approved March 0, 1869, the Trustees of that Institution have the honor to lay before you their first annual report. The undersigned, having in September, 1873, received their appointments to the office of Trustees, met in Carbondale, Jackson county, on the 28th of October, 1873, and qualified themselves for their trusteeship by subscribing to the prescribed oath of office. Mr. Thomas S. Ridgeway was chosen President, and Dr, James Robarts Secretary. After careful deliberation James Robarts and Lewis M. Phillips were appointed a committee to correspond with, and if thought advisable, to visit suitable persons to be elected Principal of the University, and to inquire respecting furniture and apparatus for the building. They were also directed to examine other institutions as to arrangements of rooms, courses of study, discipline, general management and such other matters as they might deem necessary to enable the Trustees to plan wisely for the inauguration of the University. This committee discharged its duties and a meeting held in Carbondale, Nov. 20, 1873, made report. They had visited and consulted with Rev. Robert Allyn, President of McKendree College, who had consented to be a candidate for the position of Principal. They had visited the normal schools in St. Louis, in Normal and in Terre Haute, and the Industrial University at Champaign. On the nomination of this committee and their recommendation Robert Allyn was unanimously elected Principal of the Southern Illinois Normal University, to enter upon the duties of his office at such time as the Trustees should designated, and at a salary, to commence when the duties should begin, equal to the salary of the President of the Normal in McLean county, or that of the President of the Industrial University at Champaign. The committee was continued, to travel further, if they should consider it best, and to receive proposals to put furniture in the building. Subsequently bids were received to supply furniture, seats, desks, tables, etc., from the Western Publishing and School Furniture Company, from A. Eckle, of Belleville, and from A. H. Andrews & Co., of Chicago. The bid first named was accepted and the Trustees recommended the commissioners of the building to contract for the furniture necessary to furnish the Lecture Hall, the Normal Hall, five recitation and study rooms and four rooms for recitation alone.
