whatever description; and no one shall be permitted to remove from the buildings or grounds any property belonging to the University, even tho it may seem to be of no value, unless it be temporarily and pursuant to some well-established regulation or usage, or with the distinct approval of the President or the Comptroller of the University.

EXAMINATION BOOKS

69. For the regular examinations at the end of each semester, for final examinations in courses continuing less than a full semester, for special examinations, for examinations previous to mid-semester reports, and for entrance examinations, the Comptroller shall furnish examination books. He shall give out such books on the requisition of the head of each university department, which requisition shall state the size and the exact number of books needed for each course in his department. Examination books for entrance examinations shall be given out on the requisition of the Registrar.

( d ) As a general standard, the area of visible canvas of a portrait is limited to fourteen square feet, unless, because of unusual circumstances, the Board sees fit to change this ruling. Portraits of Presidents are hung in the Library; all others in rooms of the college or department with which the person's teaching has been most closely affiliated.

( f ) Loans are accepted subject to the condition, to be explicitly stated to the lender before the article is received, that while the University will take all reasonable care of the object, it will not be responsible for loss by fire, theft, or in any other way, nor will it reimburse the lender in case of such loss.
