1905] PEOOEEDINGS OF THE BOAED OF TRUSTEES. 125 responsibility; and I suggest that Mr. C. R. Clark of the Department of Architecture be paid $250.00 for his services during the vacation in looking after all of the balance of this work. Mr. Clark is a thoroughly competent and careful man and I am sure that he can carry it very successfully. For any supervision which I may give the work after that time, I do not expect any remuneration, but shall consider it a part of my regular work if I can have this amount of assistance. If there is anything coming to me for work done in the past, I should like to get squared up to date. The plans for all the above work are already completed, except for the insectary, which Dean Forbes must pay for out of his own appropriation. Woman's Building.—The Woman's Building will not be completed by July 1st, though the contractors are making good progress. I think it would be in order for you to instruct me not to issue any more certificates of payment to the general contractors until the final certificate is issued. I do not think that this should apply to sub-contractors who have been delayed in their work through general contractors and who are entitled to their regular monthly payments until the completion of the work. I would like very much to have the walls of the woman's gymnasium painted, and shall have a proposition ready to submit to you in time for your meeting. Grandstand.—Mr. Huff is out of the city, but before leaving requested me to remind you that your committee voted to report favorably to the Board on the appropriation of a sum of money for beginning the erection of a reinforced concrete grandstand. I do not remember whether any specific sum was mentioned, but I believe Mr. Huff is hoping to get $3,000.00. Yours very truly, JAMES M. WHITE. It was voted to g o on with the matters referred to by Professor W h i t e with the exception of the addition to the engineering laboratory and the g r a n d stand, and the appropriations were made therefor as recommended, and the plans suggested for carrying on the work were authorized. A R C H I T E C T ' S C O M M I S S I O N ON A U D I T O R I U M . M r . Bullard reported that, as directed, he had consulted with M r . Blackall with reference to his compensation as architect on the A u d i torium, and had agreed to pay him five per cent of the amount expended for his fees as architect, including superintendence, and in addition thereto his expenses for the several trips which it will be necessary for him to make to the University. T h e agreement was approved. EVENING SCHOOL OF ACCOUNTANCY. URBANA, ILLINOIS, June 23, 1905. To the Board of Trustees: Your committee appointed to consider the advisability of establishing an evening school of accountancy and finance in Chicago, are not able upon present information to judge whether such a school would be a public educational -service which the University should undertake. In order to determine this, your committee recommends the appointment of a commmittee
