the President's and Chancellor's Conferences held in connection with the monthly meetings of the Board of Trustees. It is increasingly clear to the Board that demands on its calendar require a more formal procedure for the consideration of requests for personal appearances from all individuals and groups interested in the University. Accordingly, the following procedures have been established : 1. Requests should be sent to the Secretary in writing 1 and should set out clearly the nature of the subject-matter to be presented. Such requests will be presented to the Board at its next regular meeting, at which time the Board will act on the request. If approval for a presentation is granted, it will be scheduled for a subsequent meeting of the Board or one of its committees. The Secretary will promptly notify those who have made requests as to the Board's action upon them. Requests should reach the Secretary one week in advance of a regular meeting of the Board. 2. There may be emergency situations when it will be desirable for the Board or one of its committees to hear a presentation at the next regular meeting following receipt of a written request. In such instances, the President of the Board of Trustees is authorized to act on such requests when the emergency appears to him to justify it. Petitions for emergency presentations should be submitted to the Secretary and should be received no later than five days prior to the next regular meeting of the Board of Trustees, The procedures described are for the information and convenience of all who may wish to appear before the Board. The Trustees reserve the right to decline or restrict appearances at any time and to establish the conditions under which presentations are made.

On motion of Mr. Grimes, the statement was approved unanimously.
