TRANSFER OF PHRENOLOGICAL COLLECTION TO P S Y C H O L O G I C A L MUSEUM (33) In February, 1917, the Department of Psychology purchased at a cost of $341 a phrenological collection of head models, which in 1934 was turned over by the Department of Psychology to the Department of Anatomy in the College of Medicine. Since neither department has further use for this collection, the heads of the two departments and the Dean of the College of Medicine propose that it be placed in the Psychological Museum in Chicago, which is being established under the direction of Dr. David P . Boder, of the Department of Psychology at Lewis Institute, as an historical exhibit. I recommend that this collection be lent to the Psychological Museum. O n m o t i o n of M r .

This report covers the operation of the two farms in Vermilion County held by the Board of Trustees of the University under a deed from the late Joseph Carter and J a n e P . Carter, of Rankin, creating a trust for educational purposes (Minutes of March 13, 1923, page 149). T h e net proceeds from these trust farms are used as a loan fund to aid students. T h e report indicates a net income of $1,109.64 from the two farms, about $60 less than the income of the preceding year. Otherwise, the earnings were the best the farms have shown since 1930.
