BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[ J a n u a r y 8,

sake of learning in detail what the transfer would mean in the way of budget estimates. When this correspondence is complete, I shall be glad to forward it in connection with our other estimates already filed. Very truly yours,

E. DAVENPORT

November 13, 1918 Mr. Eugene Davenport, Dean of the Illinois Agricultural College

M Y DEAR DAVENPORT:

Yours of the 11th received and I note what you say about Mr. Rusk's report to you with regard to taking over the Laboratory. Dr. Peters and I just took the matter up with Mr. Wright, Director of Finance, and explained to him what this move meant, all of which he approved. Our budget is being arranged accordingly. We will be very glad to turn this over to the College of Agriculture for the reasons that we have already discussed. I would suggest that you have your Board take formal action so that they may appoint a committee to formulate the plans by which this property can be turned over to you by the Legislature in a legal way. The details of the Laboratory and the help that is there at the present time can be arranged for with yourself and myself at some future date. Yours very truly,

CHARLES ADKINS
