RECESS At this point the Board recessed for luncheon. Mr. Clement asked to be excused from further attendance at the meeting on account of illness. EXECUTIVE SESSION When the Board reconvened, Mr. Swain joined the meeting. On motion of Mr. Herrick, an executive session was ordered for consideration of the following recommendations relating to property acquisitions. PURCHASE OF A. R. TEMPLE FARM IN CHAMPAIGN COUNTY (10) The Dean of the College of Agriculture and the Director of the Experiment Station, the Director of the Physical Plant, and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend the purchase, through the University of Illinois Foundation, from Mr. Boyd Harper, Champaign, of an area of approximately eight-five acres of farm land immediately north of land recently acquired from Esther and Grace Maxwell at a price of $1,750 an acre, payment in full to be made at the time possession is given to the Foundation, which will be not later than March 1, 1061. This tract adjoins University property in the area of its south farms and is part of the program of farm land acquisition for the College of Agriculture and the Experiment Station. Since the University does not presently have funds for this land acquisition, it is recommended that the Foundation be requested to purchase it for the University and to finance this through borrowing of the amount of money necessary (approximately $150,000) from the First National Bank of Chicago, and to lease the property to the University at a rental sufficient to cover the interest and other costs. W h e n funds are available to the University, it will purchase the property from the Foundation for the amount the latter will then have invested in the property, and the Foundation will repay the loan and transfer title to the University. A commitment t o make the loan has been secured from the Bank.
