APPROPRIATION FOR INJURIES TO EMPLOYEES ( i ) A request from the Comptroller that an appropriation of $1,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary, be made from the Reserve and Contingent Fund to cover additional expenditures in the appropriation for injuries to employees. 1 recommend that this appropriation be made.

On motion of Mrs. Hopkins, this appropriation was made by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Barr, Mr. Barrett, Mrs. Hopkins, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Williams; no, none; absent, Mr. Blair, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Horner, Dr. Meyer, Mr. Trees. At this point, Dr. Meyer and Mr. Trees took their places with the Board.

APPROPRIATION FOR McKlNLEY HOSPITAL (2) A recommendation from the Comptroller that an appropriation of $8,500, or so much thereof as may be necessary, be made from the Reserve and Contingent Fund to cover expenses of the McKinley Hospital for the year ending June 30, 1933, in excess of the income of the Hospital. I concur in this recommendation.

On motion of Mr. Barr, this matter was referred to the Executive Committee, with power to act. At this point, Mrs. Freeman took her place with the Board.

ACCIDENTS TO COOPERATIVE RESEARCH EMPLOYEES (3) A recommendation from the Comptroller and the University Counsel that the Board of Trustees rescind its action of January 9, 1929 (Minutes, page 116), which provides that liability insurance shall be carried covering all persons engaged in cooperative research work, and that accident cases of such persons be dealt with in the same manner as accidents suffered by other employees of the University—through the State Court of Claims. This will make our practice in such cases consistent with the policy adopted by the Board of Trustees in discontinuing payment of compensation for accidents. O n m o t i o n of M r .
