Exchange of Land for the College of Agriculture, Urbana (23) O n November 15, 1990, the Board of Trustees authorized the purchase of 400 acres of land from the Grein family in the area of the University's south farms. It was contemplated that the purchase would be financed in part through the exchange of property. As a result of the difficulties in completing the exchange of the agricultural demonstration field located near Elwood which comprised a major component of the financing of the land, on September 12, 1991, the Board of Trustees requested the University of Illinois Foundation to enter into an option agreement to purchase the Grein land. T h e Foundation has entered into an option agreement with the Grein family for the purchase of 310 acres of land and an undivided one-half interest in an additional 90 acres of land. T h e Foundation has exercised the option and will obtain title in the near future. T h e Foundation will obtain title to the remaining undivided one-half interest in 90 acres left.
