1920].. UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 7S5 I recommend that Plan 3 approved by the Supervising Architect be adopted; that he be authorized to make such additions of Bell telephones as are necessary, not to exceed 100, including extensions, each additional new telephone to be installed only on the recommendation of the Supervising Architect and the approval of the Acting President of the University. On motion of Mr. Abbott, this recommendation was adopted. RETENTION OF PROFESSOR BEVIER (27) In February Professor Bevier presented her resignation which she desired to have take effect at the end of the academic year. Miss Bevier has rendered and is rendering an exceedingly valuable service to the University, and it has seemed very desirable to me to retain her an our staff for another year if possible. I recommend, that Professor Bevier's salary be fixed at $4500 for next year and that the Acting President be authorized to grant her permission to return to Urbana a little late in the fall as she desires and to leave somewhat before Commencement. On motion of Mrs. Blake, this authority was granted. At this point, Mr. Trimble withdrew. CAMPUS PLANS Mrs. Blake presented the following report from the Commission on the Development of the Campus: At a conference held with the faculty April 17 the question of the segregation of the junior college from the University was presented as a very important question confronting the University and one affecting directly the campus development. The question of the probable rate of increase of the student body over the next ten years is one that bears directly on our problem. For instance the junior college comprises five sevenths of the total registration. Is this proportion likely to continue? The conference left the question in a very tentative way. The campus plan commission respectfully asks that the Board of Trustees take this matter up with the faculty and report their decision to the Commission as it will affect their problem very materially. Very truly yours MARGARET DAY BLAKE Chairman of Campus Plan Commission The Acting President of the University was requested to investigate this matter and to make a report to the Board. A U T H O R I T Y TO CONFER DEGREES On motion of Mr. Blair, the Acting President of the University was authorized to confer degrees at Commencement on such candidates as may be duly recommended by the faculty.
