1935] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 211 After discussing the written recommendations and suggestions of Mr. Charles S. Havens, Director of Physical Plant, and Mr. Lloyd Morey, Comptroller, and discussing the matter with Mr. Havens before the Committee, the following recommendation is made to the Board of T r u s t e e s : T h a t fire insurance be taken out on the following buildings: Old Medical Building Dental Building, Chicago Pharmacy Building (old portion only), Chicago F a r m Buildings on the Carter-Pennell Farm, North (to cover fire, wind storm, and hail) F a r m Buildings on the Carter-Pennell Farm, South (to cover fire, wind storm, and hail) Nally Store (for fire and wind storm) Nally Residence (for fire and wind storm) Martin F a r m Buildings (for fire and wind storm) It was also recommended that the Chemistry Building at the University be covered by fire insurance provided the rate is not excessive; also, that all of the Greenhouses be covered with hail-storm insurance, provided the rate is not excessive. T h e Comptroller has been asked to secure rates covering these two risks, and upon receipt of this information, the Board will be asked to make the determination. NELLIE V. FREEMAN O. M. KARRAKER HAROLD POGUE EDWARD E. BARRETT, Chairman On motion of M r . Barrett, this report was adopted. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON FEES AND SCHOLARSHIPS Mr. Barrett presented the following report: At a meeting of the above Committee held in the Trustees' Room in the Administration Building at the University on Saturday, June 8th, at 11 a.m., there were present: Mr. George A. Barr, Mr. Harold A. Pogue, and Mr. Edward E. Barrett, Chairman. T h e report submitted by the Faculty Committee on fees and scholarships of its study of the matter of fees in the various departments of the University was read and discussed. It is the unanimous recommendation of this special committee that the following recommendations made by the Faculty Committee be approved by the Board of Trustees: ist.—That there shall be no differential in the incidental or tuition fees between the several undergraduate colleges and divisions on the Urbana campus. 2nd.—That there shall be no differential in the incidental or tuition fees between successive class levels, that is, aside from special laboratory fees the cost to the student in the senior year shall not be greater than the cost in the freshman year. It is recognized, however, that the cost of instruction at the higher levels is greater than it is at the lower levels. T h e Committee leaves the suggestion that should the financial situation of the University require it, the incidental or tuition fees for the last two years could be raised as compared with the first two years with a minimum of interference to the various colleges concerned. It is pointed out by the Faculty Committee that tor every $5.00 increase at the upper levels, that is, the last two years, the income would be increased by approximately $30,000 a year. 3rd.—That the various departments be requested to scrutinize their fee lists again ( a ) for the purpose of bringing them up to date, and (b) in order to examine the possibility of including in the laboratory fees a reasonable charge for such items as gas, electricity, water, compressed air, liquid air, steam, etc., that are actually used in equipment for laboratory instruction, together with pro-rated costs of apparatus that is especially subject to rapid wear and loss. In short, it is recommended that the present basis for computing laboratory fees be continued in principle, but that the principle be extended
