I have a letter from Mr. Nash saying that the purchaser of the Smith farm is very desirous of having a formal approval of the contract of sale for the farm by the Trustees. At this writing he also says that there will be some criticism of the title, and it will probably require a bill to quiet the title.

On motion of Mr. Hoit, the action of the Comptroller in accordance with the authorization of the Board of Trustees of June 1, 1918, in contracting for the sale of the Fisher farm to Mr. Curtis E. Underwood and Mr, George E. Jones, was approved and the President of the University was authorized to take such steps as may be necessary in order to quiet the title to this farm.
