The committee of awards regrets that the discretionary power of the Exposition Company restricted the appointive power of the board, and that the late hour of the appointments prevented a number of the jurors from accepting.
It was a great pleasure to the members of the board and the committee to meet and to entertain the clever and attractive women jurors, who served with distinction in their work and who in every possible way showed their appreciation of the honor conferred upon them by the board of lady managers of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition.

    Respectfully submitted.

    Madam PRESIDENT,
    Board of Lady Managers.

The tenth meeting of the board was called on November 9, 1904.  Many matters in connection with the closing of the work of the board in St. Louis were disposed of, and the following resolution passed concerning the preparation of its final report: 

    I move that the president of this board be requested to make a
    final report of the work of this board.

On December 2 the last session of the board was held in the building which it had occupied during all the months of the exposition, and it was with a feeling of genuine regret that the members separated, never to meet again in the house which had been the scene of many interesting gatherings.

On the day following the official closing of the exposition the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company sent their representative to make an inventory of the contents of the building, preparatory to the dismantling of the house which was thereafter to be known as the Physics Building and be occupied by students of the Washington University.  On December 13 formal and final surrender was made by the president on behalf of the board of lady managers to the Exposition Company.

The following is the final report of the house committee for the exposition period:
