PERMANENT DISABILITY OF ELSWORTH PARIS (8) The Committee on Accident Compensation for Employees submits a report in the case of Elsworth Paris, formerly employed as a pin setter in the lllini Union Building Bowling Alleys. T h e Committee recommends an award of $1,332.99 for the complete and permanent loss of the use of an eye as provided in the Workmen's Compensation Act, in addition to expenses of temporary disability and medical service already paid amounting to $557.18. T h e expenses already paid have been covered out of Union Building funds. These funds are not adequate to cover the outlay for permanent disability, and the Comptroller recommends an appropriation for this purpose from the lllini Union Building Bowling Alley Account. I concur in these recommendations. O n m o t i o n of M r .

The income of this fund shall be used to endow lectures on Medical History to be given at the College of Medicine under the name of "The D. J. Davis Lectures." 3. T h e fund shall be kept open as the nucleus of any broader project of which the lectureship is the first expression, and may be augmented by additional gifts. 4. The fund shall be invested by the University in appropriate securities, and only the income shall be used to pay the honoraria of lecturers and other expenses incidental to the lectureship. 5. T h e lectureship shall be administered by a committee to be appointed by the Dean of the College of Medicine.
