518 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [January 24 AWARD OF CONTRACTS (5) A recommendation that the award of the following contracts be authorized: i. For photo-engraving work during the calendar year 1936 to George R. Grubb, Champaign, Illinois, at a price of thirty-five and five per cent discount from the standard scale for photo-engravings issued by the American PhotoEngravers Association August I, 1932, with the provision that necessary art work will be billed at a rate of $2.25 per hour. Sealed proposals covering the University's requirements during 1936 were secured from three companies, and the above named was the low bidder. It has been doing the University's photo-engraving work during the past three years and has given satisfaction both as to quality and service. By entering into a contract for a specific period it is possible to secure a better discount than if the work is done on open order. The contract will cover work required for scientific bulletins and other publications and the total amount involved is approximately $3,000. No appropriation is required since this work will be charged against provisions for the printing of the various publications requiring this service. 2. For academic costumes required for the 1936 Commencement exercises at Urbana to the Collegiate Cap and Gown Company, of Champaign, at a rental of $1.35 for Bachelor's cap and gown, $1.55 for Master's cap and gown, $2.25 for Doctor's cap and gown, and $2.05 for Doctor's hood. Sealed proposals were secured from the various companies interested, and the above is the low bidder on the Bachelor's and Master's outfits which comprise the large bulk of the business. The award of this contract is in accordance with the policy approved by the Board last year of furnishing academic costumes for Commencement exercises for students as a part of the service covered by the graduation fee. The total amount involved is approximately $2,200 and provision for it is made in the appropriation of the current year's budget. On motion of Mr. Barrett, the award of these contracts was authorized as recommended.
