T h e Director of the Physical Plant Department recommends that in view of the construction of the second unit of the Medical and Dental College Laboratories Building, and the condition of the building of the College of Pharmacy known as the Bakers Building, the Board reconsider the policy established by its action of June 15, 1935. He recommends further that: 1. T h e policies on the Dental Building be not renewed as they expire, thus gradually reducing the valuation of this building. 2. T h e insurance on the old Medical Building be cancelled. 3. An appraisal of the College of Pharmacy buildings at 701-711 and 721725 South Wood Street be secured from the insurance companies to determine what valuation they would be willing to place on them, and that the insurance coverage be revised accordingly. T h e condition of these buildings raises the question whether the present valuation of these buildings is too high and consequently the possibility of collecting the face value of the insurance in case of complete fire loss. If the Board is not prepared to act on these proposals at this meeting, I recommend that they be referred to the Committee on Buildings and Grounds with power to act. On motion of M r . Barr, this recommendation w a s adopted.

SALE OF ROSELAWN CEMETERY

(47) On June 10, 1930 (Minutes, page 607), the Board of Trustees authorized the purchase of all available lots in Roselawn Cemetery to prevent, so far as possible, further burials therein, and looking toward the ultimate removal of this and the adjoining Mount Hope Cemetery to make room for the expansion of the University. It appears that the possibility of removing these cemeteries is so extremely remote that they must be looked upon as more or less permanently fixed in their present location. It would seem that the only concern
