BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[October 26

APPROPRIATION FOR LOCKS FOR GYMNASIUM LOCKERS (7) A recommendation that an appropriation of $575 be made from the General Reserve Fund for the purchase of 1,000 additional locks for lockers in the Men's and Women's Gymnasiums.

On motion of Mr. Barrett, this appropriation was made, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Barr, Mr. Barrett, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Karraker, Dr. Meyer, Mrs. Plumb, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Wieland; no, none; absent, Mr. Horner, Mr. Mayer, Mr. Williams.

SUPPLEMENTARY APPROPRIATION FOR EXTRAMURAL INSTRUCTION (8) A recommendation that a supplementary appropriation of $4,000 be made from the General Reserve Fund to the Division of University Extension for the academic year 1936-1937 for extramural courses to meet the demand for such instruction in addition to the courses heretofore authorized. It is recommended that the allocation of this appropriation for the various classes of expenditures shall be subject to approval by the President of the University. T h e budget for the current year includes a provision of $2,000 for extramural instruction authorized at the meeting of the Board on May 27, 1936. T w o graduate courses have been established, one in Engineering which meets in Chicago, and one in Education which is offered in Carbondale. T h e enrollment in the course in Engineering is so heavy that it has been necessary to divide the class into two sections. There are demands for additional graduate courses in Education. T h e additional appropriation is requested to provide adequately for the existing courses and to establish two additional courses in Education to be offered during the second semester of the current year. T h e amount of fees assessed for the current semester for the two courses now being offered is far in excess of the budgetary provision for this work. If the new courses are established it is estimated that the minimum income from fees for extramural instruction during 1936-1937 will be in excess of $6,ooo, which is the total of the present and the proposed supplementary appropriations for this work. In other words, the establishment of the new courses will increase the general income of the University by at least the amount of the additional appropriation proposed. O n m o t i o n of M r .
