122 BOARD OF TRUSTEES November 9, MEDICAL. COLLEGE MEMORIAL F U N D A N D L E C T U R E S President Abbott presented the following report and recommendation. November 9, 1921. To the Board of Trustees, University of Illinois: Some months ago representatives of the faculty, the Alumni, and the student body of the Medical College tendered to the Board a fund of something over $2300, which they had raised for the purpose of erecting a tablet in the Medical School building, bearing the names of those who had been affiliated with the Medical College who died in the war, this fund which they offered to the Board being the surplus remaining after accomplishing the original purpose. The condition on which this tender was made was that the Board invest the fund and use its income to establish in perpetuity what they termed a memorial lecture course. As there was some objection to accepting a fund of that amount in perpetuity, the matter was referred to the President of the Board to see if through conference some other plan for the use of this fund could be worked out which would be mutually satisfactory. Such conferences have since been held, as a result of which your President recommends as follows: (1) That the Board accept this money and turn it over to the Treasurer of the Stadium Fund, with the provision that in the design and construction of the Stadium recognition be given to the soldier dead of the Medical Department. (2) That the University establish a memorial lecture course, to be given annually or biennially at the Medical College, costing not less than #150 a year; that these lectures be arranged for by the President of the University upon the advice of the Dean of the Medical College and representative alumni, faculty, and students of the College of Medicine. On motion of Mr. Abbott, the first recommendation was adopted. On motion of Mrs. Blake, the second recommendation was adopted.
