December 12, 1995


Vanguard Institutional Portfolios, Inc.
P.O. Box 2600
Valley Forge, PA  19482

Gentlemen:

Vanguard Institutional Portfolios, Inc. (the "Fund") was organized as a
Maryland Corporation on December 15, 1988.  I have acted as Counsel to the Fund
since its initial registration as an open-end management investment company
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act"), as amended.  It is in my
capacity as Counsel to the Fund that I am furnishing you this opinion.

As a member of the Pennsylvania Bar acting as Counsel to Vanguard Institutional
Portfolios, Inc. (the "Fund"), I have examined the Fund's:  (1) Articles of
Incorporation, and amendments thereto; (2) minutes of the meetings of
shareholders and Directors; (3) Notification of Registration on Form N-8A under
the 1940 Act; (4) Registration on Form N-1A under the Securities Act of 1933
("1933 Act") and 1940 Act, and all amendments thereto; and (5) all other
relevant documents and records, as well as the procedures and requirements
relative to the issuance and sale of the Fund's shares.

The assets of the Fund were merged into a separate series of Vanguard Money
Market Reserves, Inc. effective with the close of business on October 27, 1995.

My examination also disclosed the following information:

1.       The Fund is authorized to issue 20,000,000,000 shares of its common
         stock with a $.001 par value.  On October 27, 1995 (the effective date
         of the merger), the Fund had issued an outstanding 734,334,399 shares.

2.       On December 1, 1994 (the beginning of the Fund's last fiscal year),
         the Fund had no shares registered under the 1933 Act other than
         pursuant to Rule 24f-2 of the 1940 Act, but which remained unsold on
         that date.

3.       During the fiscal period ended October 27, 1995, the Fund did not
         register any securities under the 1933 Act other than pursuant to Rule
         24f-2.

4.       During the fiscal period ended October 27, 1995, the Fund sold the
         following shares in reliance upon registration pursuant to Rule 24f-2
         of the 1940 Act:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Name of Securities                 Number of Shares                    Aggregate Sales Price

<S>                                <C>                                 <C>
Common Stock                       468,914,248                         $468,914,243
($.001 Par Value)
</TABLE>

You have instructed me to file, on behalf of the Fund, a Notice pursuant to
Rule 24f-2 of the 1940 Act, for the purpose of registering, under the 1933 Act,
the shares set forth above which were sold by the Fund during the fiscal period
in reliance upon Rule 24f-2 of the 1940 Act.

Based upon the foregoing information and my examination, it is my opinion that:

1.       The Fund is a valid and subsisting  corporation of the State of
         Maryland legally authorized to issue 20,000,000,000 shares of its
         common stock, with a $.001 par value.

2.       The proposed registration of 468,914,248 shares sold by the Fund
         during its fiscal period ended October 27, 1995 pursuant to Rule 24f-2
         of the 1940 Act is proper, and that such shares, which were issued for
         a consideration deemed by the Board of Directors to be consistent with
         the Fund's Articles of Incorporation are legally authorized and
         issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

3.       During the fiscal period ended October 27, 1995, the holders of the
         Fund's shares had all the rights provided with respect to such
         holdings by the Articles of Incorporation and the laws of the State of
         Maryland.

I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an Exhibit to the Rule 24f-2
Notice filed on behalf of the Fund, covering the registration of such shares
under the 1933 Act, and to the applications and registration statements, and
amendments thereto, filed in accordance with the securities laws of the states
in which shares of the Fund are offered.  I further consent to reference in the
Prospectus of the Fund to the fact that this opinion concerning the legality of
the issue has been rendered by me.

Very truly yours,

         /s/ RAYMOND J. KLAPINSKY
