REPORT ON BURGLARY AT COLLEGE OF MEDICINE

(7) A report from the Comptroller of a burglary in the office of the College of Medicine on October 3. October 17, 1922 President David Kinley, University of Illinois M y Dear President Kinley: I beg to report that on the night of October 3 the vault in the office of the Business Manager of the Chicago Departments in the Medical Building in Chicago was blown open by burglars and the safe and other property stolen. As nearly as can be determined the burglars entered the building by way of the Dental Building and connecting tunnel some time between 12:30 a. m. and 7 a. m., at which hours the office was visited by persons sleeping in the building. Altho explosives were used, the head janitor, who regularly occupies a room in the building, was not awakened. The burglary happened on the evening of the second day of registration of the Chicago Departments and the men evidently expected there would be a large sum of money on hand. As a matter of fact, however, the excess receipts arising from the registration had been deposited, and the amount of money on hand was no more than at normal times. A statement of the actual and estimated losses is enclosed. Burglary insurance covering all losses sustained in connection with this affair was being carried with the Fidelity and Casualty Company of N e w York. This Company has been notified and investigation has been made by their agents. W h e n the exact amount of loss has been determined, a claim in proper form will be filed and reimbursement secured. Altho the police officers were promptly notified and made a thoro examination of the premises, the burglars have not as yet been apprehended. Very truly yours, Lloyd Morey Comptroller
