718 BOARD O F TRUSTEES [ M a r c h 12, DISBURSEMENTS Chemicals purchased as raw materials, from June i, 1917-Feb. i,, 'i8..$3095.34 Labor from 6/1/17-2/1/18.. 2477.31 Apparatus broken from 6/1/17-9/12 121.55 Stamps and extras 55.81 Total .$5750.oi CREDITS Chemicals sold outside of the University, to 2/I/I8........$6I 18.68 Chemicals sold to the Chemistry and other departments of the University to 2/1/18 1146.11 Manufactured chemicals on hand (approximate) 1300.00 Total .....$8564.79 $8564.79 Balance on hand (approximate) $2814.78 $8564.79 The above statement does not include among the disbursements apparatus broken since September 12 or the oveihead charges for water, gas, and some janitor service since the beginning of the summer.

This report was received for record. SCHOOL OF M I L I T A R Y AERONAUTICS The following statement: I received information recently that the Government wished to increase the number of students in attendance at the U. S. School of Military Aeronautics, and that it would be necessary to provide additional barracks. I addressed a communication to the Commandant, Lieutenant-Colonel William F. Pearson, asking whether the old University Hall would be accepted by the Government for use as barracks by the School of Military Aeronautics, the idea being to have the School give up the use of the Woman's Residence Hall and take over instead the University Hall. I presented to him certain alternatives which might be considered namely, assigning the Transportation Building and School of Education Building, or erecting a barracks like those (8)
