BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[August 2

INCREASE IN STUDENT FEES (17) Pursuant to the instructions of the Board at its meeting on June 9, 1937 (Minutes, page 204), I have submitted to each member a report made by the Bureau of Institutional Research of the probable effect of an increase in the fees charged non-residents of Illinois to $125 per semester in the undergraduate colleges and a corresponding appropriate increase in the fees charged nonresidents of Illinois in the Colleges of Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, and Law and in the Graduate School. A copy of this report and a copy of the report of the Committee on Fees and Scholarships presented at the meeting on June 9 are hereby given to the Secretary of the Board for record. In view of the findings of the Bureau I am not prepared to recommend an increase in the fees of non-resident students. N o action was taken, but M r . Cleary stated that at a subsequent Board meeting he would offer a motion to increase the fees charged non-residents of Illinois. This matter was made a special order of business for the September meeting.
