122 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [October 18, MATTERS SUBMITTED BY PRESIDENT JAMES The Executive Committee considered the following matters submitted by the President of the University: WAGON SCALES ( i ) A request from the Illinois Traction Company for permission to install a pair of wagon scales on University property adjacent to the old right of way switch of the Illinois Traction System near W r i g h t Street. T h e distance is fifty feet from the east end of the scales to the Wright Street sidewalk. In order to place these scales at the desired point, it will be necessary to encroach five feet and ten inches on University ground. The Traction System binds itself to remove the scales at the request of the Board, and also to permit the University to use these scales without charge whenever it desires to do so. Under these conditions, subject to the approval of the Board, I gave the Traction Company the right to install the scales. On motion of Mr. Hoit, this action was approved. LAW BULLETIN (2) A request from the faculty of the College of Law for permission to establish an Illinois Law Bulletin to be published three or four times a year, and for an appropriation of $750 for the first two issues of the Bulletin. It is proposed to publish one in January and one in March during the present academic year. The members of the faculty of the College of Law approve the establishment of such a bulletin and agree to give it their conscientious and continued support. This request was granted and the appropriation was made. LAW T U I T I O N FEE ABOLISHED (3) A recommendation from the faculty of the College of Law that the special tuition fees heretofore required of students registered in the College of Law be abolished, and that in the matter of fees the College of Law be put on the same footing as the colleges of Engineering, Agriculture, and Liberal Arts and Sciences. This recommendation was approved to take effect for the year beginning September 1, 1917. LAW SCHOLARSHIPS—RULE (4) A request from the faculty of the College of Law that a change be made in the language of the rule relating to law scholarships, making it read as follows: "That the Board of Trustees authorizes the award from year to year to students in the College of Law of four scholarship prizes of exemption from the incidental fee of twelve dollars a semester, and four scholarship prizes of exemption from one-half of said semester fee, in accordance with rules to be prescribed from time to time by the faculty of the College of Law." This request was granted.
