MEMORANDUM N O . 203 Supplementary Report of the Advisory Committee on the Proposed Budget for the Biennium 1939-1941 This memorandum provides a further analysis of item G in the report of the Advisory Committee of June 21, 1938 (pp. 18-21). T h e analysis has been made as indicated on p. 5, item G, of the comments regarding the budget sent to the Board of Trustees on October 11, 1938. In its further consideration of the needs of the University, the Advisory Committee has given serious attention to the educational principles set forth on pp. 18 and 19 of its June report. These principles emphasized the advancement of a special educational program for freshmen and sophomores, the further development of student counseling and guidance, increased strength in the social sciences and in education for social service, and other urgent adjustments which the University should make to the changing social, economic, and cultural life of the State of Illinois. 1. The Freshman-Sophomore Program.—The Advisory Committee has looked with approval upon the intense activity of the Senate Committee on Educational Policy and of the Executive Committee of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences with respect to the Freshman-Sophomore program. This movement was begun by President Willard in the appointment of a special committee on February 11, 1935. W h e n the report of this special committee was presented to President Willard, its budgetary implications seemd to lie beyond any of the resources which the University had in sight at that time. New money must be found if such a program is to be established. Moreover, the Advisory Committee has had such a program in mind in its consideration 'An additional appropriation of $200,000 is needed to cover increase in receipts and expenditures of Revolving Fund over biennium estimates. This will not affect the totals shown3 for 1939-1941. This figure represents the amount of increase of biennial appropriations_ over those for 1937-1939 to make possible an increase of $1,087,500 a year over the educational budget for 1938-1939, which is somewhat more than half the present biennial appropriation. 'See page 131 for revised totals approved by the Board on October 24, 1938.
