P R I N T I N G O F T H E DAILY ILLINI (14) A recommendation from the Comptroller. July 17, 1918 President Edmund J, James, University of Illinois

M Y DEAR PRESIDENT JAMES:

I enclose herewith a copy of a proposed agreement between the University and the Illini Publishing Company for the printing of the Illini during the school year 1918-19 in the University Printing Shop. This agreement has been drawn up by Mr. F. W. Scott, Mr. H. E. Cunningham, and myself in conference. Its provisions cover adequate return to the University for every outlay and give the University use of certain equipment owned by the Illini Publishing Company at minimum cost. Under this contract the University, of course, assumes absolutely noresponsibility for any material printed, but merely undertakes to do the mechanical work of printing the paper. Provision is also made for the cancellation of the contract on short notice at the option of the University. The Illini Publishing Company has expressed willingness to sign the contract as drawn up. I recommend that I be given authority to execute it for the University. Cordially yours,

LLOYD MOREY
