612 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [November 9, was authorized to arrange for this congress. The vote was as follows : Aye, President Abbott, Mrs. Busey, Mr. Carr, Mrs. Evans, Mr. Hoit, Mr. Taggart, Miss Watson; no, none; absent, Mr. Blair, Mr. Lowden, Mr. Trevett, Mr. Trimble, Mr. Ward. CHEMISTRY LABORATORY FEES (7) A recommendation of the Council of Administration that the laboratory fees for Chemistry 9a and 9b (courses no longer given under those numbers) be discontinued and that a fee of $9.00 each for the new courses known as 14c and I4d be authorized. This recommendation was approved. UNIVERSITY PAGEANT The following statement: It will be remembered that at the time the Board decided to hold a celebration of the semi-centennial of the opening of the University, authority was given (page 196) to employ Mr. Langdon as lecturer on community festivals, and organizer, conductor, and writer of the University pageant, at a salary of $5,000 for the thirteen months from October 1, 1917, to November 1, 1918. In accordance with this authority, a contract was made with Mr. Langdon on this basis. It seems impossible to carry out the celebration unless peace should come early in the spring. But as it is desirable that Mr. Langdon should prepare the Pageant, I have given him instructions to this effect, and in the meantime to do such work as shall be assigned to him in organizing and carrying out here at the University, or at other places in the state to which he may be sent, suitable celebrations of noteworthy days of this centennial year. He is now busily at work along this line. I am asking that my action in this matter be approved and that the sum of $1,000 be appropriated as a revolving fund to provide expenses for the preparing and carrying out of these celebrations in such a way as to make them possible units of a larger presentation. On motion of Mr. Carr, the action of the President was approved, and the appropriation made. The vote was as follows: Aye, President Abbott, Mrs. Busey, Mr. Carr, Mrs. Evans, Mr. Hoit, Mr. Taggart, Miss Watson; no, none; absent, Mr. Blair, Mr. Lowden, Mr. Trevett, Mr. Trimble, Mr. Ward. EMERGENCY APPROPRIATION FOR HOUSEHOLD SCIENCE (9) A request from the Dean of the College of Agriculture that an extra appropriation of $5,000 be made to cover emergency needs in the department of household science.
