1918] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON HEATING TESTS 153 (1) A letter from the Dean of the College of Engineering in regard to appointing an Advisory Committee made up of members of the National Warm Air Heating and Ventilating Association. August 30, 1918 President Edmund J. James, University of Illinois M Y DEAR PRESIDENT JAMES: I beg to inform you that President W. G. Wise of the National Warm Air Heating and Ventilating Association has appointed the following named men to serve as an Advisory Committee to cooperate with our Engineering Experiment Station in carrying out the program of tests of warm air heaters and heating to be undertaken by the Station and paid for from funds provided by the Association: Mr. J. M. McHenry, Chairman, Manager of the Furnace Department, Detroit Stove Works, Detroit, Michigan; Mr. P. J. Dougherty, Heating Engineer, International Heater Company, Utica, N . Y.; Mr. R. C. Cook, Manager, Thatcher Furnace Company, Chicago; Mr. Walter Wimmer, Manager, Furnace Department, Wrought Iron Range Company, St. Louis, Missouri; Mr. E. S. Moncrief, Vice-President, The Henry-Miller Foundry Company, Cleveland, Ohio. In view of the fact that this cooperative investigation may become one of the most important which the Engineering Experiment Station has undertaken, it has occurred to me that the Association and particularly the members of this Advisory Committee would appreciate it if this Committee were formally approved and appointed by the Board of Trustees of the University, as has been done with various advisory boards. If this suggestion appeals to you as desirable, I shall be very glad if you will secure the approval of the Board of Trustees for this appointment. Very cordially yours, C. R, RICHARDS I recommend the appointment of this Committee and the addition to it of the names of Professor C. R. Richards and Professor A. C. Willard. On motion of Mr. Hoit, this recommendation was approved. FOUR-QUARTER PLAN A N D ADMISSION OF L STUDENTS Recommendations from the University Senate: September 12, 1918 Dr. Edmund J. James, President (2) DEAR M R . PRESIDENT: The University Senate, at a special meeting held on September 9, 1918, took the following actions, which, as I understand it, require the approval of the Board of Trustees: That the college year be organized in four quarters, of twelve weeks each, to meet the requirements of the S. A. T. C ; the first three quarters of the coming year to end on December 21, 1918, March 22, 1919, and June 21, 1919.

Sincerely yours, C. M. MCCONN Clerk of the Senate These recommendations were approved.
