1916] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 125 summer, exceeded the appropriation of $2,000 by the sum of $90.32, which was advanced by him to meet necessary expenses. He recommends that this sum be refunded to Professor Savage. This recommendation was approved. ANALYTICAL WORK FOR BOARD OF ADMINISTRATION (10) A letter from Professor S. W. Parr relating to the analytical laboratory, together with a statement of receipts and expenditures for the past year. October 7, 1916 Professor W. A. Noyes, Chemistry Building DEAR PROFESSOR No YES : It seems to me there should be made out to you and possibly through you to President James a statement of receipts and expenditures on account of the work done by Mr. Lindgren and his assistants. I am therefore enclosing a statement taken from the books in the Business Office and have included a summary attached thereto. In this connection permit me to say that a very large portion of the work done by Mr. Lindgren is on behalf of other departments in the University, and as a rule are of such character as to demand the services of an expert. Indeed, much of the work is in itself of an investigational type, as, for example, the determination of boron in steel and that constitutent in small percentages; similarly, the determination of small quantities of aluminum alloyed with steel. A number of very valuable papers have resulted from his work. We are continuing the coal inspection work from the State Board of Administration for two reasons. First, it furnishes a more certain continuity of work and income to maintain the salary of Mr. Lindgren, and second, because we are having a most excellent opportunity for testing out certain appliances, especially in the sampling of coal, which are vital to the success of the marketing of coal under specification. I shall be glad to answer any questions in connection with this work. Yours very truly, S. W. PARR Professor of Applied Chemistry [SUMMARY OF RECEIPTS ANALYTICAL AND EXPENDITURES OF LABORATORY] Receipts Expenditures 329.99 1725.00 741.00 703.00 July 1, 1915—July 1, 1916 Balance on hand, 1915 $ State Board of Administration..
