I recommend that the Physical Plant Department be authorized to charge the cost of this conduit to the appropriation for the steam tunnel.

On motion of Mr. Barr, this recommendation was adopted.

ASSESSMENT OF NON-RESIDENT FEE (5) A recommendation from the Registrar that Sections 4 and 5 of the regulations adopted by the Board of Trustees October 20, 1922 (Minutes, page 57), as amended November 14, 1930 (Minutes, page 118), for the assessment of the non-resident fee, be amended to read as follows, the changes being in italics: 4. Any student (adult or minor) whose parents have established a bona fide residence in the State of Illinois, will be regarded as a resident for registration purposes; except that an adult student who has established a residence on his own account outside of the State must conform to the conditions set forth in regulation 5 to be classified as a resident for registration purposes. 5. An adult student, whose parents are deceased or whose parents reside outside the State, to be considered a resident of Illinois for purposes of registration, must have been a bona fide resident of the State for a period of at least twelve months next preceding the beginning of any semester for which he registers at the University and must present evidence that he is self-sustaining, and not under parental control.

Mr. Barr moved that the recommendation be adopted. Mr. Trees moved that Section 5 be amended by omitting the words "whose parents are deceased or." The amendment failed, and the original motion was adopted.

SCHOLARSHIPS A N D CORRESPONDENCE COURSES (6) A recommendation that the Board adopt the following regulation applying to scholarships held by persons registering in correspondence courses: No scholarships, whether created by statute or otherwise, shall be accepted by the University in behalf of persons registered or who desire to register in correspondence courses so as to relieve them from the obligation to pay in cash the fees and charges fixed for correspondence instruction, since the various statutes providing for scholarships contemplate study in residence, as distinguished from correspondence instruction, and it was the intent of the Board of Trustees when this extension work was authorized that it be as nearly as possible self-supporting, and fees were fixed on that basis.

On motion of Mr. Karraker, this recommendation was adopted.

AGREEMENT WITH UNITED STATES BUREAU OF PUBLIC ROADS FOR COOPERATIVE INVESTIGATION OF CONCRETE ARCH STRUCTURES (7) A recommendation that a cooperative agreement be entered into with the United States Bureau of Public Roads, of the United States Department of Agriculture, for a cooperative investigation and tests of concrete arches and to complete similar investigations and tests previously undertaken under a similar agreement. This new agreement is to run from October 15, 1934, to June 30,1935, subject to renewal in the event the investigations provided for have not been completed, and the Bureau agrees to pay the University the sum of $300 to meet one-half of the expenses of this investigation, the University paying the other half. This agreement is for the purpose of completing investigations started under a similar agreement which was entered into on July I, 1930, and the expenses of which were paid jointly by the United States Bureau of Public Roads and the American Society of Civil Engineers. I recommend approval.

On motion of Dr. Meyer, the execution of this agreement was authorized.
