BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[July 26

On motion of Mr. Mayer, this matter was referred back to the Committee with instructions to submit to the Board two or three additional recommendations of men eminent in the field of general surgery.

DENTAL SUPPLY STORE IN THE COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY

(36) F o r some years the University has been renting space in the corridor of the College of Dentistry Building to certain dental supply houses for use as sales booths for the sale of dental supplies to students. These leases carry an annual rental of $450 each, or a total of $900 a year. T h e supply houses sell from these points various supplies and equipment required by students in their courses, which are not furnished by the University under the laboratory fees charged to students. In recent years, because of the small enrollment in the College of Dentistry, the supply houses have operated these sales booths only part time. Students have thus found it inconvenient to obtain emergency supplies, and the only other available stores were located in the buildings of other dental colleges where similar stores are maintained. T h e Comptroller recommends that the leases, which expire September 30, I93S. be not renewed, but that he and the Dean of the College of Dentistry be authorized to establish a dental supply store under the following conditions: 1. T h e Business Office will be responsible for the general management of the store. ( T h e Comptroller is now authorized under the rules of the Board to establish such general store-rooms as are necessary to take care of University needs.) 2. T h e College of Dentistry will indicate the kinds of materials required. On motion of M r . Pogue, this authority was granted as requested. ACCIDENT COMPENSATION LEGISLATION (37) A report that Senate Bill 560, including within the Workmen's Compensation Act all persons in the service of the University of Illinois after January 2 5> 1933. except members of the instructional, research, and administrative staffs thereof, when not at time of injury actually engaged in an occupation declared by section 3 to be extra-hazardous, was passed by the Legislature and approved by the Governor. A certified copy of this bill is handed herewith to the Secretary of the Board for record, and I recommend that this bill be printed in the Board minutes. Senate Bill 561, amending the Court of Claims Act to authorize the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois to hear and determine claims of persons employed by the University not exceeding $500 arising under the Workmen's Compensation Act, was also passed by the Legislature but was vetoed by the Governor on July 11, 1935.
