The conveyance herein described is for the purpose of securing the approval of the United States Government to an application for a grant or loan of Federal funds made by the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois for the construction of a Medical and Dental Unit thereon: Provided, however, that the conveyance herein made shall be void and the title to said property shall revert to the State of Illinois if such conveyance is not necessary to the approval of the application for a grant or loan of federal funds, or if within one year from the effective date of this Act no such grant or loan is made; and, provided further, that after the repayment of any federal funds loaned the title to said lands shall revert to the State of Illinois. Section 3. Whereas, the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois has made application for a grant or loan of f e d e r a l funds for the construction of a Medical and Dental Unit; and, whereas, in order to consummate such grant or loan it is believed to be necessary that title to the real estate upon which such project is to be constructed be in the Board of Trustees; and, whereas, the time limit for the making and approval of such applications will soon expire, which fact necessitates that this Act take effect immediately if this State is to take advantage of the benefits offered by the construction of this Medical and Dental Unit, therefore, an emergency exists and this Act shall take effect upon its passage.
