B U I L D I N G PROGRAM (12) A statement concerning the urgent necessity of proceeding with the building program as rapidly as possible, particularly with the new Agriculture building, and with the Medical building in Chicago. Letters on the subject were read from Deans Davenport, Richards, and Babcock. Dean Eycleshymer also urged on the President the need for early action.

On motion of Mr. Abbott, the Executive Committee was directed to employ the firm of Schmidt & Garden as architects for the Medical building. At this point, Mr. Trimble took his place with the Board. Mr. Abbott made a report and a recommendation for the Committee on Architects for the Agriculture building that Mr. Charles Piatt be employed as architect for this building and to study the campus plan. It was moved by Mr. Abbott that the Executive Committee be directed to employ Mr. Charles Piatt to act as architect for the Agriculture building and to study the general campus plan. Mrs. Busey moved to amend by striking out all reference to the campus plan. The amendment was lost. After further discussion, the original motion was passed as presented. Mrs. Busey asked to be recorded as voting in the negative. At this point, at 12:45 p. m., a recess was taken.
