8 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [July 12, in the buildings now used as gymnasiums, mentioned above. It i m y present s opinion that by another biennium it will be advisable to seek an appropriation for a building for architecture and kindred subjects, to be erected on the quadrangle south of the Auditorium. This will release considerable space for other departments of the College of Engineering, and will also enable us to remove such work as art and design and related subjects from their present quarters, thus easing the situation for the Arts and Sciences. W e are in sore need of a Service Building. It is possible that the program outlined above will release part of some building north of Green Street for this use. Otherwise, we shall be under the necessity of erecting such a building. I ask tentative approval for this program, using the word "tentative" to mean that the matter will come up for final approval in the fall. O n motion of M r s . E v a n s , this p r o g r a m w a s approved tentatively. A t this point, at i p. m., a recess w a s taken. AFTERNOON SESSION, JULY 12, 1922 When the Board convened after the recess, the same persons were present as during the morning. Mr. Schmidt and Mr. Bentley, of the firm of Schmidt and Garden, were present. PLANS FOR MEDICAL LIBRARY AND LABORATORY Mr. Schmidt presented the revised plans for the Medical Research Library and Laboratory building. O n motion of Mr. Noble, the action of the Board on April 12, 1922 (page 187), approving the plans for this building, was reconsidered. O n motion of Mrs. Blake, the action of April 12 was rescinded, and the revised plans, designated as "Scheme J, June 3," were approved and adopted, and the architects were instructed to get bids for the construction of the building. T h e B o a r d resumed its consideration of matters presented b y the President of the University. PLOTTING ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION AND UNIVERSITY LAND (22) I have discussed with Mr. George Huff, President of the Athletic Association, the advisability of plotting and selling the twenty acres now held by the Athletic Association between First Street and the Illinois Central Railroad, and in addition the ten acres held by the University adjoining this property on the south. The removal of our north line, west of Wright Street, from Armory Avenue towards the south would make it possible for us to get on without this property. The Athletic Association is planning an independent storm-water sewer from the Stadium recreationfield,and drainage into this from these lots could be easily secured. I request authority to take this matter up and report to the Board at a later meeting on the advisability of plotting these tracts in city lots with a view to selling them off. O n motion of M r s . Blake, this authority w a s granted. BALANCES REAPPROPRIATED (23) A request from Mr. Morey that the following balances from 1921-22 be reappropriated to the several departments concerned:
