MATTERS PRESENTED BY PRESIDENT WILLARD

The Board resumed consideration of matters presented by the President of the University.

REPORT ON CARTER-PENNELL FARMS (30) T h e seventeenth annual report of the Carter-Pennell F a r m s covering the farm year, March 1, 1939, to February 29, 1040. This report covers the operation of the two farms in Vermilion County held by the Board of Trustees of the University under a deed from the late Joseph Carter and Jane P . Carter, of Rankin, creating a trust for educational purposes (Minutes of March 13, 1923, page 149). T h e net proceeds from these trust farms are to be used as a loan fund to aid students. The report indicates a net income of $1,787.67 from the two farms, which compares very favorably with the average annual net income of $865 per year for the 17 years that the University has owned and operated the farms. In only three other years, 1923, 1928, and 1929, has the net income for the two farms been greater than it was in 1939. I recommend that this be referred to the Committee on Agriculture for consideration and report back to the Board. O n m o t i o n of M r .
