ture Building for use by the Department of Chemistry, it will be necessary to make some other provision for housing the Regional Soybean Laboratory established at the University by the United States Department of Agriculture. The Dean of the College of Agriculture reports that there is the possibility of securing Federal funds for the erection of a building to house this work. The Works Progress Administration is considering sponsoring such projects elsewhere. It is an established policy of the Federal government to build Federal buildings on no other land than that held by the United States. Consequently, one of the first questions which would be asked if such a project were proposed at the University of Illinois would be whether the University is prepared to deed to the Government a site for such a building. In the opinion of the University Counsel, there is no question concerning the power of the Board of Trustees to convey land to the Federal government, should that be deemed advisable. The only question is one of policy. This report was received for record. It was the sense of the Executive Committee and of the members of the B o a r d w h o were present that such a laboratory building should be secured if possible.
