LECTURES BY PROFESSOR A. H. LYBYER (9) Professor A. H. Lybyer, of the Department of History, who is on leave of absence during the first semester of 1936-1937, has been invited to give lectures on peace in nine cities from Omaha to Denver between January 10 and 20, 1937, under the auspices of the Emergency Peace Campaign. Since the purposes for which sabbatical leaves are granted do not include such activities, Professor Lybyer has inquired if the University would have any objection to his giving the lectures.

On motion of Mr. Barr, Professor Lybyer was granted permission to give these lectures.

TUITION FEES IN THE COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY (12) At the meeting of the Board of Trustees on May 27, 1936 (Minutes, page 658), certain recommendations from the Committee on General Policy relating to tuition fees in the Colleges of Medicine and Dentistry were adopted by the Board. The recommendation of the Committee relating to the tuition fees in the College of Dentistry was not final, since the Committee had asked the Dean to give further consideration to the amount of the basic tuition fee. Subsequently, the Dean recommended that the basic tuition fee be $150 a year for residents of Illinois and $225 a year for non-residents (payable $75 and $112.50 respectively each semester), the laboratory fees, which are subject to revision from time to time according to the cost of laboratory materials and other incidental expenses, to be added to the basic fee. No formal action on the establishment of the basic fee has been taken by the Board, and I therefore recommend the establishment of these fees as recommended.
