96 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [January 19 4. T h a t first-year scholarships with stipends be reestablished. 5. T h a t the following normal scale of stipends be established: First year, scholarships $300 Second year, fellowships 500 Third year, fellowships 600 6. In the case of the so-called "College Scholarships": First, that the nominees (one each from certain Illinois colleges on our recognized list), who are applying for the $300 scholarships, be placed on a basis of equal competition with all the other applicants; provided t h a t candidates from Illinois colleges whose qualifications are equivalent to those of applicants from institutions outside of the State shall be given preference in the assignment of these scholarships; and Second, t h a t those nominees who fail in that competition (but otherwise meet our usual requirements) shall be awarded scholarships without stipends, but with exemption from tuition, incidental, and laboratory fees—the reason for such awards being the desirability of our maintaining close and cordial relations with the colleges of the State. I concur in these recommendations. On motion of Mr. Karraker, these recommendations were adopted and the appropriation was made by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Barr, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Karraker, Dr. Meyer; no, none; not voting, Governor Horner; absent, Mr. Barrett, Mrs. Hopkins, Mr. Trees, Mr. Wieland, Mr. Williams. BUDGET OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION (10) The Board of Directors of the Athletic Association submits a revised budget for 1934-35 and requests its approval by the Board of Trustees. This revision has been made possible by the increased income over t h a t estimated before the beginning of the season. The budget provides for the retirement of all past obligations of the Athletic Association, as well as all operating expenses during the fiscal year 1934-35, and will leave a small balance. In addition, the Association expects to realize further on funds in the old First National Bank of Champaign, but these funds are not included in the estimated income. On motion of Mr. Armstrong, this budget was referred to the Finance Committee for consideration and report. BY-LAWS OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION (11) Director George Huff transmits the revised by-laws of the Athletic Association. On motion of Mr. Armstrong, the President of the University was authorized to work out with the Athletic Association the necessary details of procedure to carry out these by-laws, and to report thereon to the Board. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR DIRECTOR GEORGE H U F F (12) A recommendation that Director George Huff be given a leave of absence on full pay for five weeks beginning as soon as he can get away from his duties, on account of his health. On motion of Dr. Meyer, this leave was granted as recommended. FEE FOR EQUITATION CLASSES (13) A report t h a t the Military Department has been authorized to conduct classes in equitation for sophomore and junior women students in the University, for which a fee of $3.50 will be charged to cover the expenses, and t h a t the Comptroller has been authorized to collect this fee and to disburse the funds collected for such charges against them as may be proper. On motion of Mrs. Freeman, this action was approved and confirmed.
