PROVOST TO ACT FOR PRESIDENT

(19) A recommendation that section 7 of the Statutes on organization and administration which now reads, "The Vice-President shall exercise the functions of the President in his absence, and shall at all times be of such assistance to the President as he can by the exercise of such functions as the latter may delegate to him," be changed by inserting the title "Provost" in place of "Vice-President," and that the title "Vice-President" be dropped from the statutes wherever it appears. O n motion of M r . Noble, this a m e n d m e n t w a s approved. FINANCIAL REPORT ON STADIUM FUND (20) The Comptroller's report on the Stadium Fund. Since the Board is custodian and trustee of the Stadium fund and the Comptroller keeps the accounts, he sends me regularly his reports of the condition of the funds. I am submitting the latest of these reports for record. This report shows that the total of the fund to September 30 last was #408,452.87, and that the disbursements were $130,647.35, leaving an unexpended balance on that date of $277,805.52.
