REGULATIONS CONCERNING UNIVERSITY AUTOMOBILES (13) For some time we have been discussing the care and use of University owned automobiles to work out a system of centralizing the management. Last year Professor J. K. Tuthill of the Department of Railway Engineering made a report on the matter covering maintenance, care, and accounting. After getting the best information and advice I could on the matter I recommend that the following regulations be approved, and that the Comptroller and Supervising Architect be authorized to take out property damage and public liability insurance on University automobiles in accordance therewith:

Requisitions for the purchase or exchange of automotive equipment must be endorsed by the Supervising Architect. 4. Every car, with the exception of the President's car, shall be marked with the University name and number, conspicuously placed on each car. 5.
