materials to the University for the Chicago Circle Library. Containing nearly 10,000 items, the collection reflects the growth, history, and development of Chicago. It will provide important research material, both on the graduate and undergraduate levels, for degree programs in English literature, American history, art, architecture and urban planning, social work, and business. In addition, it will support many of the collections already held in the Chicago Circle Library, among them the papers of the Chicago Board of Trade, Frank Lloyd Wright materials, and the extensive collection of Jane Addams papers. The collection contains books, pamphlets, maps, directories, broadsides, and atlases. There are 348 items printed in Chicago between 1851 and 1871 (before the Chicago Fire), including 69 items unrecorded in the American Imprints Inventory. The chancellor has recommended that the University contract to purchase the collection with payments of $400,000 in Fiscal Year 1982, $124,000 in FY 1983, and a final payment of $112,000 in FY 1984. The University will acquire title to the collection upon making the initial payment. The major portion of the purchase price will be paid from private gift funds received from the Chester Fund through the University of Illinois Foundation, a fund specifically earmarked for this general purpose. The Foundation will join the University in the purchase agreement and assure the payments due in 1983 and 1984 which are expected to be provided from endowment income on the Chester gift. Funds for the initial payment are available in the institutional funds budget of the Chicago Circle Library and from private gift funds provided by the University of Illinois Foundation. The executive vice president concurs in this recommendation. I recommend approval, subject to action of the University of Illinois Foundation.
