EMERGENCY LOAN FUND IN THE CHICAGO DEPARTMENTS (21) Portions of the unemployment relief funds raised in the Colleges of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy have been used as loan funds to relieve students in serious distress, the following amounts having been assigned for this purpose: Medicine, $1,065.98; Dentistry, $465.33; Pharmacy, $185.00. These funds are offered the Board of Trustees for use for emergency loans to students in these colleges on the recommendation of the dean of the college with the approval of the Comptroller. In the operation of this plan the Comptroller's representative in Chicago—the Business Agent for the Chicago Departments—is authorized to act for the Comptroller so that loans can be made expeditiously. These funds are similar to the loan fund established by the faculty in the Urbana Departments in connection with the fund it raised for unemployment relief. They are not, therefore, in the same class as regular loan funds, the loans in most cases being small amounts for short periods and for emergency purposes. I recommend acceptance.

On motion of Mrs. Hopkins, these funds were accepted.
