T h e Alumni Association provides from its own income $1,000 for membership promotion, of which $300 is assigned for general purposes and $300 for travel. These items are inadequate for this purpose and if an aggressive well planned effort is made to increase the membership of the Alumni Association the expenditure recommended by its Directors will be justified. If authorization is given to use the funds as recommended, it should be on a tentative basis for the year 1030-1940 only and subject to review at the end of the year on the basis of a detailed report of the results secured. O n m o t i o n of M r . K a r r a k e r , t h e u s e of t h e s e f u n d s w a s a u t h o r i z e d as requested.

APPROPRIATION FOR ANIMAL HOSPITAL I N T H E CHICAGO DEPARTMENTS (4) A recommendation from the Director of the Physical Plant Department and the Dean of the College of Medicine that funds be provided in the budget for alterations necessary in centralizing the services of the Animal Hospital in the Chicago Departments, estimated at $500, and for a full-time attendant at a salary of $1,200 a year. In support of this recommendation I submit the recommendations of the Committee on Animal Hospital. Certain of the improvements recommended, such as the installation of an air-cooling unit at an estimated cost of $1,100, should be deferred. T h e general reconstruction of the Animal Hospital as recommended is a major improvement which would involve an expenditure of approximately $25,000. O n m o t i o n of D r . M e y e r , this a p p r o p r i a t i o n w a s m a d e as r e c o m mended, b y t h e following vote: A y e , M r . Cleary, M r . Jensen, M r . Karraker, M r . Mayer, D r . Meyer, M r . Moschel, M r s . Plumb, M r . P o g u e ; no, n o n e ; absent, M r . A d a m s , M r . H o r n e r , M r . Wieland. IMPROVEMENT OF TELEPHONE FACILITIES O N THE SOUTH CAMPUS (5) F o r the improvement of the telephone facilities on the south campus, the Committee on Special Appropriations and Non-Recurring Expenditures recommended a special appropriation of $2,700—the amount previously estimated as sufficient. T h e cost of the work will be $3,150, or $450 more than the amount appropriated. I recommend therefore that the sum of $450 be released from the General Reserve Fund to make up this deficiency.
