MATTERS PRESENTED BY PRESIDENT W I L L A R D

The Board resumed its consideration of matters presented by the President of the University. PROPOSED INCREASE IN STUDENT FEES (30) The Board has under consideration a proposal to increase student fees and particularly the fees charged non-State students until this meeting. A standing faculty Committee on Fees and Scholarships, which has considered and made reports on such proposals in previous years, was asked to consider this proposal, and it has submitted the following recommendations: 1. No further increase in the resident fee at the present time. 2. No further increase in the non-resident fee at the present time but that if, in the judgment of the Board, such an increase is imperative, it do not exceed $25 a year. On motion of Mr. Cleary, the President of the University was requested to recommend appropriate fees to be paid by students who are not residents of Illinois registered in the Colleges of Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, and Law, and the Graduate School, based on a contemplated fee of $125 a semester for non-resident students in the undergraduate colleges.
