1038 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [October 21 of $8,227.45 to substitute walnut paneling for birch paneling in the lobbies, gallery and trim in other areas of the Krannert Art Museum. A textured surface on the patio is desirable to avoid large surfaces of concrete and the resulting glare and to provide a more compatible design with the marble mass on the surface of the Krannert Art Museum. It will also be less slippery when wet than the concrete finish. T h e inclusion of walnut paneling is in keeping with the original plans for the building. Funds are available, and I recommend that the Comptroller be authorized to execute the changes in the contract. On motion of Mr. Swain, this recommendation was approved. E A S E M E N T F O R DRAINAGE ON W A R R E N FARM (17) The Dean of the College of Agriculture and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend that an easement be granted over the northwest corner of a forty-acre tract owned by the University in Piatt County, which was bequeathed by Mrs. Elizabeth Warren. Mr. Chauncey E. Bates, the owner of the land to the north of this farm, is installing a twelve-inch drainage tile, which needs to cross the University's property. This will benefit the University's property and will also permit the University to connect tile lines to the drainage in the future. The Agricultural Engineering Department estimates that this access will be worth $140 to the University, and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommends that a contract be approved for the payment of this sum. I concur and recommend adoption of the following resolution: Resolution Be It And It h Hereby Resolved by this Board of Trustees of T H E BOARD O F T R U S T E E S O F T H E U N I V E R S I T Y O F I L L I N O I S that the Comptroller and Secretary of this public corporation be, and they hereby are, authorized for and on behalf of this public corporation to convey to Chauncey E.
