T h e Comptroller and the Purchasing Agent recommend, and I concur, that the contract be awarded to Cotrell & Leonard, of Albany, New York, operating through Flynn's Incorporated, of Champaign, whose quotation on the bachelor's costume is the lowest. Since most of the outfits to be rented will be bachelor's costumes the proposal of Cotrell & Leonard is the lowest, although its price on the master's and doctor's outfits are slightly higher than those of other bidders. On motion of Mr. Barr, this contract was awarded as recommended. PURCHASE OF DIPLOMA COVERS (15) The Comptroller and the Purchasing Agent submit the following quotations received on covers for diplomas to be made with morocco grain sheepskin leather of the proper color and lined with orange rayon cloth: B.

W r i g h t and Company, Philadelphia 1.15 each Samples were submitted and carefully compared. T h e cover which Arthur Hertzberg and Craftsmen submitted is superior in materials, construction, and workmanship to that of the low bidder and is equal to or better than the samples submitted by the other bidders, all of whose quotations were higher. It is the most suitable for the University's purpose. The Comptroller and the Purchasing Agent recommend that an order for 2,500 covers be placed with Arthur Hertzberg and Craftsmen, Chicago, at a total cost of $2,625.00. On motion of Mr. Pogue, this recommendation was adopted.
