FEES FOR RENTAL OF GRAND PIANOS (11) A recommendation from the Dean of the College of Fine and Applied Arts and the Comptroller that the rental charge for the use of grand pianos in the School of Music for practice be made $4.50 per semester hour or for one hour of use per week. The only fee for the rental of pianos is ¥3.00 per hour per semester. This is satisfactory for upright pianos but a higher fee is appropriate for grand pianos in view of the greater cost of these instruments and the fact that the number of hours available for practice will be more limited than in the case of uprights. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mrs. Hopkins, this fee was authorized.

BRADLEY B A N D F U N D BEQUEST

(12) On December 20, 1933, the Board granted Mrs. Helen Byers Bradley, Executrix of the will of William L. Bradley, who bequeathed $5,000 to the University of Illinois Bands, permission to defer payment of the bequest which was due December 4, 1933, for a period of not to exceed six months. Mrs. Bradley is unable to liquidate the securities held by the estate without incurring a great loss, and on June 25 she submitted to President Daniels a formal request for permission to defer the payment until August, 1935. President Daniels recommends that this permission be granted.

On motion of Mr. Barrett, this request was granted.

BIENNIAL BUDGET FOR 1 9 3 5 - 3 7 (13) At the June meeting of the Board, President Daniels presented informally the opinions expressed by the deans and directors at a meeting called for a preliminary discussion of the budget to be proposed to the Legislature for 1935-1937. These opinions have been summarized and are submitted, together with certain financial schedules and charts prepared by the Comptroller, for a further discussion of the budget.

Discussion of this matter was deferred until the September meeting.

DATE OF SEPTEMBER MEETING

On motion of Mr. Barrett, it was voted to hold the September meeting of the Board at the University, in Urbana, at 10 o'clock a.m. on Saturday, September 22, 1934.

PURCHASE OF PERCHERON STALLION (14) The Department of Animal Husbandry requests authority to purchase a Percheron stallion to replace an animal lost by illness, at a cost not to exceed ?2,ooo, the animal to be selected in France by Mr. George Potts, University Horse Foreman. Funds for this purchase were available in the budget of the department for 1933-34 but were allowed to lapse because the purchase could not be consummated before the end of the fiscal year. Mr. Potts has been commissioned to go to Belgium to purchase horses for a Danville importer, so that the University will not be put to the expense of sending him abroad. There is an advantage in having a representative of the department select the animal and also a saving in transportation costs because it will be brought to the United States in a lot shipment with the horses which will be sent to !Also applied to students in other courses taking Easter vacation trip as assignment.
