receipts have exceeded the disbursements, with the result that there is a balance in the fund which does not belong to any active organization.) 3. Dr. and Mrs. W. F. Petersen, an additional 100 volumes from the library of the late Dr. Otto L. Schmidt, volumes of journals which help to complete some of the sets in the College of Medicine library, also valuable pictures for the files of medical portraits. (Doctor Petersen is a member of the faculty of the College of Medicine. This collection is one of great value since it contains many old books representing early American medicine, among them the works of Benjamin Rush, Caspar Wister, Drake, and others—all in well-kept condition.) 4. Rockefeller Foundation, $3,500 per year for a period of three years for special researches on the spectroscopic analysis of water by Professors W. H. Rodebush and A. M. Buswell, of the Department of Chemistry. 5. The Theodore Shnitzer Memorial Foundation, a scholarship of $100 per year to be awarded to a worthy, needy Jewish student who has completed at least one year of his medical studies and ranks in the upper one-half of his class. This is in memory of Theodore Shnitzer, a former student who died in his first year in the College of Medicine. The Foundation is prepared to offer $300, thereby insuring the scholarship for the next three years and hopes to raise additional funds to continue the scholarship in future years. 6. The University of Illinois Library School Alumni Association, $300 for the maintenance of the Katherine L. Sharp Scholarship in Library Science for the year beginning September 1, 1936.

This report was received for record.

SPECIAL COURSE IN ANATOMY

(20) The Illinois State Dental Society has requested that the College of Medicine offer a course in the anatomy of the head and neck as one of the special courses offered to practitioners. This could be given as a part of Course No. 60—Anatomy Dissection, which is one of the special courses for physicians, the fee for which is $100. Since the course would be concentrated and limited to one week, the Dean of the College of Medicine recommends that the fee be proportionately reduced to $20 for this work. The Comptroller and the Provost recommended approval, and I concur.

On motion of Mrs. Plumb, this course was authorized.

FEES FOR GRADUATE WORK IN THE SUMMER SESSION AT COLLEGES OF MEDICINE A N D DENTISTRY

(21) A recommendation that fees for graduate work during the summer at the Colleges of Medicine and Dentistry be $25.00 for the term for residents of the State and $37.50 for non-residents. Heretofore the fees for graduate work in medicine during the Summer Session have been fixed at the same rate as in other departments of the Graduate School, or $20.00 for residents of the State and $30.00 for non-residents. However, the summer term in the Chicago Departments covers twelve weeks instead of eight weeks as at Urbana, and graduate students have been able to earn three units of credit as compared with a normal program of two units in the Urbana Departments.

On motion of Mr. Barrett, these fees were authorized.

WAIVER OF FEES FOR SPECIAL COURSES IN COLLEGE OF MEDICINE

(22) The College of Medicine offers special courses in anatomy, juvenile behavior, neuropsychiatry, ophthalmology, orthopaedics, otolaryngology, and roentgenology open to physicians with degrees from recognized institutions. These courses run for a period of four months, and a fee is charged in each case. The Dean of the College of Medicine recommends that members of the staffs of the University of Illinois, the Research and Educational Hospitals, the Institute of Juvenile Research, the Cook County Hospital, and the Cook County Morgue be permitted to attend the lectures in these courses without fee. This action conforms to the practice of the University relative to permitting staff members to take courses without fee and also gives recognition to staff members
