19371 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 267 1. The budget which such a program would require is considerably beyond the University's financial resources. 2. The College of Medicine is not yet ready to proceed to the organization of such work. 3. The information now in hand is not sufficient to enable the University to organize a definite program of education for public health personnel. It is clear that regardless of other considerations the budget which it would require makes impossible any sort of a program of public health work during the biennium of 1937-1939, and under the circumstances I recommend that further consideration of the proposal be indefinitely postponed. On motion of Mr. Cleary, this recommendation was adopted. RECOMMENDATION OF DETROIT ILLINI CLUB C O N C E R N I N G ASSOCIATE ARCHITECTS FOR U N I O N BUILDING (26) The Detroit Illini Club, believing that recognition should be given to outstanding graduates in architecture of the University of Illinois, recommends that the Board of Trustees seriously consider commissioning not more than three such graduates as Associate Architects for the proposed Student Center, or Union Building, the individual qualifications to be based upon: (1) character and professional reputation; (2) ten years of independent practice; (3) classification of exhibits; (4) alumni activity. The Club is actuated in this recommendation solely from the standpoint of having a Union Building at the University which is thoroughly and completely an Alumni project. No action was taken on this matter. POST-GRADUATE COURSES IN OBSTETRICS AND PEDIATRICS (27) A request from the Dean of the College of Medicine for the authorization of post-graduate courses in Obstetrics and Pediatrics to be offered during the summer of 1937 from July 5 to August 31. The plan is to offer a series of courses, with classes being limited to ten licensed practitioners per week. A fee of $10 a week for residents of the State, and $15 for non-residents of the State, would be charged, which would cover all of the expenses of this work. I recommend approval. On motion of Mrs. Plumb, these courses and fees were authorized. GIFTS TO THE UNIVERSITY (28) A report of the following gifts received by the University since the last report was received by the Board: 1. The Carnegie Corporation, $5,000 for research work in the College of Dentistry. This is to provide two grants-in-aid of $2,000 each ($1,500 for a fellowship and $500 for supplies) and a fund of $1,000 for technical assistance in support of Dr. Isaac Schour's researches. 2. Mead Johnson Company, $1,400 for research work in the College of Dentistry in support of Dr. Isaac Schour's researches. 3.

The Board of Education of Chicago and the Hyde Park High School, the loan of Ghiberti's "Gates of Paradise" to be housed with Lorado Taft's collection of casts. 5. Department of Illinois, Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, $50 to be awarded to some worthy student in the Reserve Officers' Training Corps who does not receive an award from another source. The award will be made to a first-year advanced-course (junior) cadet who has been active and helpful in the "Pershing Rifles" for three years. 6. Frank L. Davis, of the Class of 1888, a collection of actual working drawings of important buildings in the Chicago area for the use of the Department of Architecture. 7.
