UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

85

It seems to me that before the University complies with such a request, it is entitled to have a full statement from Mr. Brown of the reasons for making it, and a financial statement, showing that his claim of lack of financial success is supported by the record, and also that the causes of lack of financial success are traceable to the University or, at least, would be removed by the annullment of the agreement with the University. I therefore ask that the whole matter be left for the present with the President of the University.

On motion of Mr. Noble, this matter was referred to the President of the University.

R E P O R T OF PROGRESS O N PARR COKING PROCESS

(14) On October 7, 1920, the Board instructed the President of the Board and the President of the University to confer with a committee of three, to be selected by them, in order to get their opinion of the extent and character of the claims, or rights, if any exist, of the assigns of Mr. Hertz in the Parr Coking process. We desire to report that we have been at work on the matter, but have, thus far, not succeeded in accomplishing our purpose. We hope, however, to do so* within the next month or six weeks, and will, of course, make a report at the earliest possible moment.

This report was received for record.
