1956] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS PURCHASE OF FARM LANDS 949 (22) A farm in two tracts immediately south of University farm lands in Champaign County, one hundred sixty acres (N.E. Quarter, Section 31, T. 19 N., R. 9 E.) and eighty acres (west half of the S.E. Quarter, Section 30, T. 19 N., R. 9 E.), owned by the George Grein estate, will soon be sold at a public sale to settle the estate. Neither tract is contiguous to University land. The eighty-acre tract is separated from University land to the north by a forty-acre tract (S.W. Quarter of the N.E. Quarter of Section 30, T. 19 N., R. 9 E.) and to the east by an eighty-acre tract (E. half of the S.E. Quarter, Section 30, T. 19 N., R. 9 E.), both owned by Mr. Henry Grein. As the University campus expands, it will be necessary to take over for other purposes some of the present Agricultural Experiment Station farm lands south of the campus, and these will have to be replaced by other farm land acquisitions. It would be an advantage to acquire the Grein farm now for this long-range program. The possibility of a trade of farm lands with Mr. Henry Grein in this acquisition program should also be considered since his farm adjoins present University holdings. These possibilities and ways and means of financing this land acquisition program are being carefully studied. In the meantime, since the public sale may be held before the next meeting of the Board of Trustees, I recommend that the Board authorize its Executive Committee, acting on recommendations from the Committee on Agriculture, to acquire through negotiation or public sale either the land now owned by the George Grein estate or the land owned by Henry Grein, or both, or any part or parts of either or both. Mr. Swain moved that the Executive Committee be given the authority recommended. This motion was adopted by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Bissell, Mr. Herrick, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Swain, Mrs. Watkins, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mrs. Holt, Mr. Megran, Mr. Nickell, Mr. Stratton. _ FEDERAL AID TO MEDICAL EDUCATION President H e n r y discussed with the Board briefly some aspects of legislation to be introduced in the Congress of the United States to provide federal aid to medical education. MIDWEST UNIVERSITIES RESEARCH ASSOCIATION President H e n r y reported on the offer made by the University of Illinois to the Midwest Universities Research Association to construct its proposed high energy exhilarator laboratory in the vicinity of the University at Urbana-Champaign.
