614 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [ M a y 23 O U T B R E A K O F T U B E R C U L O S I S IN D A I R Y H E R D (38) The Director of the Experiment Station, Dean H. W . Mumford, reports that the experimental herd of cattle known as the Bowlker Experiment Herd showed, in a recent tuberculin test, 27 out of 65 animals reacting to the test. Following the law, those animals showing this reaction were shipped to Chicago and were slaughtered under federal supervision in the second week of the month. O n recommendation of Doctors Ruehe and Graham, the Director of the Station recommends that because of the number of reactors in the herd the entire herd be shipped to Chicago and slaughtered under federal supervision. This is the second time in the past few years in which w e have had such a situation develop. A statement sent m e by Dean Mumford and prepared, I understand, by Professor H. A. Ruehe, gives an account of this Bowlker herd. From this account it would seem that the cattle have been watched carefully and tested frequently. I recommend that the entire herd be shipped to Chicago and slaughtered under federal supervision and further recommend that the receipts from this herd be placed in a revolving fund to be used for the purchase of experimental dairy cattle, in accordance with the recommendation of the Dean and Director. George Huff, for the O n motion of M r . Trees, this recommendation w a s adopted. May 21, 1928 ICE SKATING RINK (39) The following proposal is submitted by M r Athletic Association : President David Kinley, 355 Administration, West Dear President Kinley : Subject to your approval, the Athletic Association of the University of Illinois begs leave to make the following proposal to the Trustees of the University of Illinois, concerning the erection and operation of an artificial ice skating rink. The Board of Trustees at its April meeting gave permission to the Athletic Association to use the ground now occupied by tennis courts located on the northwest corner of Fifth Street and Armory Avenue. In order to have a sufficient amount of ground for the erection of this building it has been necessary for the Athletic Association to purchase the two lots immediately north on Fifth Street. Contracts have been entered into for the purchase of this property. The Athletic Association proposes to have these lots deeded directly to the University, and to pay all the expenses of every kind connected with this project, including the erection of the buildings and the purchase and installation of the freezing plant, and to donate the completed project to the University. The Athletic Association further proposes that the building of this structure be in the hands of the Association, the design subject to the approval of the Supervising Architect and the President of the University. After this building is complete, the Athletic Association agrees to donate to the University, as they become due, all the expenses of operation and maintenance, but it is understood that the University will have complete control of the building, as of any other University building. According to the information now at hand, it would seem that this building would be useable for an ice skating rink only about five months in the year, and would therefore be available during September and October, and April and M a y for other purposes. It is the desire of the Athletic Association to make this building as useable as possible to the University and to the citizens of the State, so it is suggested that regulations for the use of this building for outside interests might be more liberal than is possible of
