8 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [July io operation and maintenance of the building when completed, the interest charges, and the amortization of the loan shall be provided for by a service charge on students in the Urbana departments of the University to produce sufficient income to cover these costs. The University is to furnish the site. In the event the Government makes a grant to aid in the construction of this building project, it will be necessary for the Board of Trustees to decide definitely whether or not it will go ahead with the project in accordance with either the tentative plan outlined, or some other equally feasible plan. The University of Illinois Foundation is prepared to conduct a campaign to raise its share of the funds, but if plans are to go forward it will be necessary to have definite approval by the Board of Trustees of the proposed plan of financing, including the levying of a fee or service charge on the students in the Urbana departments of the University for the use of the building. This charge will not go into effect until the building is ready for use, but nevertheless the plan should receive careful consideration in advance so that if a grant is secured the plan can be announced promptly. O n m o t i o n of M r . P o g u e , t h i s p l a n of f i n a n c i n g w a s a p p r o v e d in principle. LEAVES OF ABSENCE FOR MEMBERS OF THE STAFF (12) A report that leaves of absence have been granted the following members of the staff under the terms, and for the periods and purposes indicated: 1. Professor R. C. Ashby, of the Department of Animal Husbandry (Extension), one month's additional vacation with pay, to enable him to attend the International Conference of Agricultural Economists in Germany the first week in September. 2. Miss Harriet Deere, Stenographer in the Department of Anatomy, leave of absence from September 3 to September 13, inclusive, without pay. 3. Mr. B. B. Miller, laborer in the Dispensary, leave of absence from July 22 to August 15 without pay. On motion of Mrs. Freeman, these leaves were approved. PURCHASES RECOMMENDED (13) A recommendation that the following purchases be authorized: 1. 500 barrels of Portland Cement from M. L. Hecker, Champaign, the low bidder, at a price of $2.25 per barrel net. This is for the Physical Plant Department's stock of building materials. 2. 40 sets (of 44 each) stainless steel dental operative instruments from the Fara Manufacturing Company at a price of $29.61 per set, or a total of $1,184.40. These instruments are being purchased for resale to students. During the past year a study of stainless steel instruments was made by the Dental faculty, as a result of which it has specified these instruments for use by students during the year 1936-1937. On motion of Mrs. Plumb, these purchases were authorized. PURCHASES AUTHORIZED (14) A report of the following purchases authorized by the President, in accordance with the University Statutes: 1. Four hundred (400) tons of baled straw from V. V. Wolf of Sidney at a price of $5.75 per ton. Quotations were invited from eight sources, but only one was received. This order will be divided between the Departments of Animal Husbandry and Dairy Husbandry. It was necessary to place the order at once, as straw will soon be ready to bale. On motion of Mr. Barr, the action of the President of the University was confirmed. CHANGES IN AGREEMENTS FOR COOPERATIVE INVESTIGATIONS (15) A report that the following agreements for cooperative investigations, previously authorized by the Board, have been extended or modified as indicated:
