(18) A request from the Acting Comptroller for authority to establish a new fund in the books of the University, to be known as the Smith-Lever Fund. April IS, 1915. Dr. David Kiriley, Vice President3 University of Illinois. DEAR S I R : The regulations prescribed by the Department of Agriculture concerning-the manner in which disbursements of Lever Funds are to be accounted for and audited seem to make necessary the establishment of a distinct fund. The department informs me that the Lever Funds will be subject to the same inspection as are the Hatch and Adams Funds. The department objected, however, to the inclusion of the Lever Funds with the Hatch and Adams Funds under our present United States Agricultural Experiment Station Fund. The only alternative seems, therefore, to be the creation of a new fund. I recommended that the Board of Trustees authorize the establishment of a new fund to be known as the "Smith-Lever Fund." All receipts and disbursements under the so-called Smith-Lever Agricultural Extension Act are to be accounted for under this fund. Yours very truly, L. E. :KNORR, Acting Comptroller. On motion of Mr. Carr, this request was granted. A D M I S S I O N TO C. P. A. EXAMINATIONS.
