Trees, for the Committee on Physical Education, presented the following report: The Committee on Physical Education wishes to report that i has held t a conference with the Board of Directors of the Athletic Association in reference to the relationship of the University to the Athletic Association. It is the opinion of your Committee that the present method of operation is quite satisfactory and should be continued. It is recommended, however, that hereafter, when the budget of the Athletic Association is submitted to the Board of Trustees, i should be studied t with the idea of approval or correction and not received simply as a matter of record. Merle J. Trees George A. Barr Helen M . Grigshy O n motion of M r . Trees, this report was adopted. SIZE OF PORTRAITS Mrs. Busey presented the following report for the special committee to consider the size of portraits to be hung in University buildings, the place of hanging, and other elements involved. To the Board of Trustees: University of Illinois Your Committee first investigated the facts with reference to portraits now in University Buildings and that data is shown on the accompanying blue print. It seemed worth while to include memorial tablets, mosaic portraits, and busts in order to have a complete record. In some cases the name of the artist does not appear but probably can be determined by taking the paintings out of the frames. It is interesting to note that there are three paintings by Ralph Clarkson, one by Louis Betts, and one by Grover, as well as our three recent ones by Trebilcock, Hawthorne, and Salisbury. All these men have high reputations as portrait painters. All but five of these paintings are under fourteen square feet in area if we include Judge Harker's which is but little larger.
