1934] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 437 FURNITURE IN MEDICAL A N D DENTAL LABORATORIES BUILDING (33) In July the Board referred to the Committee on Buildings and Grounds certain questions relating to contracts for the Medical and Dental Laboratories Building and equipment. One of the items had to do with the failure of some chairs supplied by the W. M. Welch Manufacturing Company to come up to requirements. The Business Agent for the Chicago Departments has reported through the Comptroller that all except five of the chairs in question have been satisfactorily repaired and returned by the contractors and that the contractors have given the University credit for the original five which were not returned. Since the University makes frequent purchases from the company it will not be difficult to take advantage of this credit in the near future. This report was received for record. MEMBERSHIP IN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION The Special Committee to consider the matter of requiring all students to become members of the Hospital Association reported that it did not seem advisable to make this requirement at the present time. On motion of M r . Trees, this report was received and the Special Committee was discharged.
