DEDICATION OF WOMAN'S HALL. 12. The Committee on the Installation of the President have included as one of the features of the week the formal Dedication of the Woman's Hall. They suggest as a program: (a) An address by one of the Trustees, turning over the building to University. (b) An address by the President of the University or one of the Faculty accepting the trust. (c) A dedicatory address. Approved. SOUVENIR BOOK OF CHAMPAIGN AND URBANA. 13. The committee appointed by the Champaign County Merchants' Association on the preparation of a souvenir for the two cities proposes to issue a book of views, the total cost of which would be somewhat in excess of $2,300 for 25,000 copies of the booklet. They request the University to purchase 10,000 of these at the proportional cost 'price and pay the cost of making the plates of any picture of the University grounds or buildings which may be included. This would make the cost of these 10,000 booklets to the University somewhere between $800 and $900. Inasmuch as the University has already contracted for a book of views soon to be issued, it is undesirable to order copies of the above souvenir. I t was voted not to accept the proposition. A BAY ON NORTH OF MECHANICAL LABORATORY. 14. I recommend that the University proceed immediately to of another bay as an addition to and on the north side of Mechanical Laboratory, at a cost not to exceed $12,000, and that tee on Buildings and Grounds be instructed to let contracts with the construction as rapidly as possible. the the the and erection present Commitproceed
