1919] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 571 BRONZE TABLETS FOR CERTAIN BUILDINGS (22) Letters from the Supervising Architect concerning bronze tablets for the Education Building, Music Building, and Woman's Residence Hall. October 1, 1919 Acting President David Kinky, 355 Administration Building DEAR S I R : We have not as yet ordered the usual bronze tablets for the Residence Hall, the Education Building, and the Music School. The former two building were nominally under the supervision of James B. Dibelka, state architect, though he had nothing to do with the design of either one of them. I feel that we can ignore him in deciding upon the lettering for the tablets. I should like, however, to give credit on these tablets to others who rendered real service in the design of the buildings, and therefore propose that my name appear as architect in all three cases, inasmuch as the plans were all prepared m my office and under my direct supervision; that in the case of the Wom?n's Reyidence Hall •Mr. C. L. Gustafson's name appear as associate architect; on the Education building, that the names of Holabird and Roche appear as associated architects; and that on the Music School, the name of George E. Wright appear as associate architeclt. Mr. A. W. Stoolman's name would appear on the tablet for the Residence Hall, and that of English Bros, on the Education Building, but oh the Music School I woii d leave off all contractors' names because no one contractor has had a contract covering as much as half of the work on the building. Yours truly, JAMES M. W H I T E Supervising Architect October 1,1919 Acting President David Kinley, 355 Administration Building DEAR SIR: ! The erection of the Music School has been continued tinder the direction of successive Boards of Trustees so that it is hardly feasible to put on the tablet in that building the name of any one Board of Trustees. I, therefore, suggest that the names of the trustees on that tablet appear as follows: , BOARD OF TRUSTEES (Term 1913-1919) John R. Trevett Ellen M. Henrotin Florence Eleanor Watson (Term 1915-1921) Robert F. Carr Laura B. Evans Robert R. Ward (Term 1917-1923) Williams L. Abbott Mary E. Busey OtisW. Hoit
