RESOLUTION

In accepting the generous gift of M r . Francis J. Plym of the Class of 1897, above referred to, the Board does hereby express its w a r m appreciation of the generosity of M r . Plym and thanks him for his gift. T h e Board of Trustees takes the occasion to thank M r .

ENDOWMENT FOR PRIZE ESSAYS ON THRIFT (4) In accordance with the action of the Board of Trustees on January 17, 1923, authorizing me to accept gifts, etc., subject to the Regulations of the Board, I report the gift of the sum of $1281.16 from the Committee on War Saving Stamps Sales for Illinois, through Dr. Shailer Mathews, as per his letter below, the income of which i to be used as a prize for essays in the general field of thrift. The t principal is the balance of a fund subscribed by a number of patriotic people during the late War to supplement the appropriations made by the Government for War Savings Stamps Sales Campaigns. It seemed to the Committee that this prize might be established at the University of Illinois because the money was given by different people over the State.
