BAKER PRIZE FUND SECURITIES (17) A company, some of whose securities were included in the gift of Professor I. O. Baker to establish a prize fund for engineering students, is now in the hands of a receiver. The Comptroller, M r . Morey, requests that the Comptroller and Secretary of the Board be authorized to enter into an agreement of stock-holders for and in behalf of the Board and to take other necessary steps in the premises. I recommend that Mr. Morey's request be approved and that the authority requested be given him and the Secretary of the Board. On motion of Mr. Trimble, this recommendation was approved.

EMPLOYMENT OF PATENT ATTORNEY

(18) A recommendation that the President of the University be empowered to instruct the Committee on Patents, of which Professor White is chairman, to secure the services of a patent attorney when needed, within the appropriation made for patents by the Board. On motion of Mr. Trimble, this recommendation was adopted.

CONTRACT FOR LOT 86, COLLEGE PLACE

(19) According to the contract made between the University and Miss Fanny B. Sherfy for the purchase of lot 86, College Place, Champaign (see Minutes, March 13, 1924) the deed was to be given by Miss Sherfy on October 15, 1924. Miss Sherfy's attorney, M r . Walter B. Riley, has written the Comptroller that Miss Sherfy will be unable to deliver the deed for something like twelve months because of a delay in beginning administrative proceedings on the estate of the other party who has an undivided half interest in the lot. I recommend that the contract be extended for one year, or such period of about that length, as may be necessary for the owner to perfect the title. On motion of Mrs. Ickes, this recommendation was approved.

WITHDRAWAL OF PROPERTY BY WAR DEPARTMENT

Merry, Professor of Military Science and Tactics, informed m e that he had received instructions, or a request, both from the Adjutant General of the State of Illinois and from the Commandant of the 6th Corps Area, to turn over to the National Guard certain of our motor vehicles assigned by the W a r Department to the University for purposes of or request until theImatter had Colonel Merry to decline to comply with the order its military work. instructed
