ROOF A N D LIBRARY F U R N I T U R E , MEDICAL BUILDING Mr. Williams, for the Committee on Buildings a n d Grounds, presented the following report on the condition of the roof on the n e w Medical and Dental Laboratories Building, a n d on the furniture in the Medical Library. A. The Committee, on September 25, 1933, made a personal inspection of the roof in company with Mr. E. L. Stouffer, Assistant Supervising Architect of the University, and Mr. E. C. Fletcher, Superintendent of Buildings of the Chicago Departments. We found the roof in poor condition—a definite failure as to the tile covering of the building. We found that the tile had been loosened and had fallen out of place at numerous points on the roof; at one point the ridge-roll for a distance of approximately 30 feet was gone and two flights of tile on each side of the ridge were entirely gone. At various other points from one to forty tile were missing. The falling away of the tile will undoubtedly go on at an increasing rate and will render the tile covering worthless.
