BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[August 1

Dr. Eycleshymer discussed with the committee the plans for the coming year and the expenditure of $500,000 for buildings as given in the newspaper report of the appropriations. It was impossible to make a definite recommendation as the committee did not have an official record of the bill as signed by the Governor. The Committee suggests that the name of the Committee be changed from Committee on College of Medicine and School of Pharmacy to the Committee on Chicago Departments.

HORTICULTURE B U I L D I N G

On motion of Mr. Noble, the President of the Board was authorized to approve the plans and specifications of the new Horticulture building, and to receive and open bids and report to the Board.
