(3) The amount of $26,406.50 having been raised by the contributions of a number of people for the purpose of endowing a lectureship on art to be known as The Lorado Taft Lectureship on Art, I recommend the adoption by the Board of the following provisions for the management of this Fund and Lectureship: 1. The contributions to the Fund having been made with the distinct understanding that the amount raised was to be held as a perpetual trust for the capital endowment of the Lectureship, the Board of Trustees hereby pledges itself to observe this condition by investing the funds from time to time in such securities as will, in its judgment, be proper for the purpose and in accordance with the statutes of the State. 2. This endowment shall be known as The Lorado Taft Lectureship on Art. 3. The income of the endowment shall be used to provide a series of lectures each year by one or more persons eminent in somefieldof art, and, if deemed desirable, to publish said lectures, or some of them, from time to time, and for no other purpose. 4. The lecturer or lecturers of each year shall be selected by the President of the University on recommendation of a committee of the Faculty of the Departments of Art and Architecture to be appointed by the President from year to year. This committee may include, at the President's discretion, one or more artists of reputation outside the University. However, the invitation to deliver thefirstseries of lectures shall be extended to Mr. Taft himself. O n motion of M r . Trees, these regulations w e r e adopted.

STATEMENT CONCERNING DEAN KETCHUM

(4) There is considerable uncertainty as to whether Dean Ketchum will be able to resume his duties in September. I recommend that the position of Dean of the College of Engineering be kept open until it becomes evident whether or not Dean Ketchum will be able to carry on the work of the office and not later than September 1, and that i in the opinion of the President of the Board and the President of the f University he should not prove able to do so he be given a leave of absence on half-pay for thefirstsemester of the next academic year.
