132 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [October 18, Hall, I beg to ask that charges for architectural rendering, amounting to $40.00, and advertising for bids, in the amount of $21.85, be not charged against me as that expense is not part of preparing plans and specifications. I would .kindly ask to have this amount remitted to me, and also the balance due on the Administration Building. Yours very truly, J A M E S B. DIBELKA State Architect This letter was received for record. LATE APPLICATION FOR AGRICULTURAL SCHOLARSHIP (20) A request from Mr. F r a n k H. VanHouten for a scholarship covering the incidental and matriculation fees. Mr. VanHouten applied to be recommended for a scholarship by the State Farmers' Institute, but owing to his own fault in applying too late, and to the slowness of persons connected with the Farmers' Institute whose signatures had to be obtained, the application did not come in until after registration day and was therefore rejected according to rule. After full discussion, further consideration of the matter was postponed. STATE AUDITOR TO DEMAND ALL FEES (21) A letter from the Auditor of Public Accounts to the Comptroller of the University indicating the intention of the Auditor to recommend in his biennial report that the University be required to turn over all its fees to the State Treasurer. October 11, 1916 Mr. Lloyd Morey, Acting Comptroller, University of Illinois DEAR S I R : Referring to your recent letter regarding the inventory of State property, I beg to advise that I am in no great h u r r y for this inventory as there is some work to be done on those that have already been received. I note your views as to the necessity of this inventory being furnished by the University. I have already had occasion to take up with the Attorney General the status of the University, and guided by his opinion I am considering the University as a State institution. Sooner or later this point will have to be definitely settled, and it is my intention to recommend to the Governor in my biennial report that the University be required to turn over all its fees to the State and that Federal payments be held in the State treasury subject to voucher. If any action is taken as the result of this, the status of the University would be established very quickly. Yours very truly, J A M E S J. BRADY Auditor of Public Accounts The President of the University was directed to discuss this matter with the Legal Counsel.
