months beginning March I, 1926, at a salary of $350 a month. Professor Dodge's appointment is tofillthe position made vacant by the death of Professor Harris. This report w a s received for record. THE NUTRITION INVESTIGATION (17) As the records of the Board will show, this investigation began about twenty years ago. It was a cooperative enterprise between the Institute of American Meat Packers and the University. A search of the records convinces m e that the University agreed to publish the results of the investigation infivevolumes together with a pamphlet summary. Volumes I, III, IV, and V have been published. The Institute of American Meat Packers is asking whether we will not publish Volume II and the summary. I feel that we are bound to do this under the terms of the original understanding. The completion and publication of the work may take as much as $10,000. I therefore recommend at present an appropriation of $2000 from the Reserve and Contingent Fund in order to carry the work to the point of publication. This appropriation was made by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Armstrong, M r s . E v a n s , M r s . Grigsby, M r s . Ickes, M r . Noble, M r . Trees, M r . W h a m ; no, none; absent, M r . Barr, M r . Blair, M r s . Busey, M r . Small.
