Gilliard Bros. & Todd, Chicago, $5,885 and $9.00 per linear foot for arched tunnel and $4.75 per linear foot for open tunnel. After a second recess taken to attend the afternoon dedicatory exercises, Mr. Bullard, chairman of the Committee on Buildings and Grounds, suggested certain changes which could be made in the buildings and specifications in the three buildings which would, he thought, bring the cost of construction within the amount of the appropriation therefor, $76,000. I t was moved by Mr. McKay that common brick be used in place of pressed brick, as proposed in the specifications, and the motion prevailed, but upon motion of Mr. MoOay this action was reconsidered. Mr. Nightingale moved as a substitute of the pending motion that the whole matter be referred to the Committee on Buildings and Grounds, in conjunction with the Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, with power to make contracts for the whole work to be done within the limits of the appropriation, and the substitute prevailed. The Committee on Buildings and Grounds was requested to report to the Board at its June meeting a course of procedure with reference to the erection of the new chemical laboratory. The Finance Committee was requested to report to the Board at the next meeting what other University funds, if any, could be added to the State appropriation for the construction of the chemical laboratory. * The Board adjonrned.
