This supplements a list of special items previously submitted by this Committee. I recommend an appropriation of $1,300 from the General Reserve Fund for the purposes indicated. On motion of Mr. Cleary, this appropriation was made as recommended, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Adams, Mr. Cleary, Mr. Karraker, Dr. Meyer, Mr. Moschel, Mrs. Plumb, Mr. Pogue; no, none; absent, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Horner, Mr. Mayer, Mr. Wieland. SALE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL LABORATORY EQUIPMENT (5) With the resignation of Professor E. A. K. Culler, of the Department of Psychology, who has accepted a position at the University of Rochester, many items of equipment which he used in his research work on animal hearing will no longer be needed. A part of this equipment was paid for from University funds; other items were purchased with funds received from foundations in support of Professor Culler's researches. Professor Culler has proposed that the University of Illinois sell to the University of Rochester certain items of equipment which were purchased from University funds and transfer those items which were paid for from outside grants. T h e Head of the Department has examined the list of items which Professor Culler has selected and recommends their sale and transfer as proposed at a price of $1,000, the purchaser to assume all cost of packing and transportation. I recommend that this sale be authorized. A list of the items to be transferred is being turned over to the Comptroller and the Secretary for record. On motion of Mr. Cleary, this sale was authorized as recommended, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Adams, Mr. Cleary, Mr. Karraker, Dr. Meyer, Mr. Moschel, Mrs. Plumb, Mr. Pogue; no, none; absent, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Horner, Mr. Mayer, Mr. Wieland.
