MITCHELL FOR ILLINOIS EMERGENCY RELIEF COMMISSION (8) The Illinois Emergency Relief Commission has requested the services of Assistant Professor D. R. Mitchell of the Department of Mining Engineering in connection with its function of supplying relief coal throughout the State. This will involve his absence from the University for short periods from time to time from April 1 to June 1, 1934. I recommend that he be authorized to render this service and to be absent from his University duties a t such times as the work may require. On motion of Mr. Barrett, this recommendation was adopted.

DuPont de Nemours and Company, for research on insecticides. I t was reported that the Company would pay a total of $4,500 in monthly installments of $375 to cover the expenses. In the meantime, the Directors of the Company, in acting on the matter before receiving the contract approved by the Board of Trustees of the University, and on the basis of a later estimate that $3,950 would be sufficient, approved the grant for this amount.
