1900.] PROCEEDINGS OF BOARD OF TRUSTEES. 281 A track in Illinois Field has been put in, but it will require attention from time to time for several years in order that it may become a good track. It has already the necessary foundation so that all improvements made subsequently will be for permanency. The improvements made in University Hall to prepare the east wing basement for lunch room purposes were undertaken and partially completed. The room has been put into good shape, and at the same time provision has been made for ventilating the auditorium above. Some partition doors must be put in and some other work must be done to complete the whole as planned; but this can be left for the next vacation if it be decided to open a lunch room. If it be determined not to do this, the room may be made serviceable for other purposes with but little additioual expense. What has already been dona would have been necessary to make the room useful for any purpose, so that there has been no loss or waste in the expense thus far made. Respectfully submitted, S. A. BULLARD, Chairman Committee on Buildings and Grounds, ADDITION TO HEATING PLANT.

To the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois: Pursuant to your directions of March 13, 1900, the undersigned beg leave to report as follows: They recommend that the offer of Fred Kaufman, of Chicago, to furnish uniforms be accepted.
