UBBANA, Oct. 20, 1905.

To the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois: I would respectfully report that I have received from Jobst & Sons, Builders, of Peoria, Illinois, preliminary estimates for constructing your Auditorium at a probable total expense not exceeding $100,000. This would include the structure as shown by my plans as far back as the line of the proscenium opening but not including the stage or the rear wings. The building would be finished substantially as shown by my drawings, but would not include decorative paintings or sculpture or any landscape work or any piping,
