TRANSFER OF UNAPPROPRIATED AGRICULTURAL INCOME (9) A recommendation that the Board of Trustees authorize the transfer of up to $5,000 from unappropriated agricultural income to various departments in the College of Agriculture on the recommendation of the Dean and Director. These transfers will be made from time to time as special non-recurring needs arise for items not amounting originally to more than $1,000. This will eliminate the necessity of bringing to the Board of Trustees routine items involving expenditures which are clearly within the established policy of the University but for which appropriations must otherwise be made.

On motion of Mr. Adams, this appropriation was made, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Adams, Mr. Cleary, Mr. Davis, Mr. Fornof, Mrs. Grigsby, Mr. Jensen, Dr. Meyer; no, none; absent, Mr. Green, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Wieland.

BUDGET FOR DIVISION OF SERVICES FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN (10) The internal budget for 1942-1943 (Minutes, June 20, 1942, page 1103), contained a preliminary estimate for the Division of Physically Handicapped Children. This is a state-wide activity financed entirely by Federal funds and transferred to the University by the Department of Public Welfare as of July 1, 1941. In the meantime, the title of the Division at the request of the United States Children's Bureau has been changed to "Division of Services for Crippled Children." T h e program of work is carried out in accordance with the details approved by the United States Children's Bureau, and the allotment of funds is made only after this detailed program has been approved. A revised budget is now submitted covering the amount finally allotted for the current year. The total sum is $142,681.74 in place of the preliminary estimate of $139,219. I recommend approval of this budget.

On motion of Mrs. Grigsby, this budget was approved, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Adams, Mr. Cleary, Mr. Davis, Mr. Fornof, Mrs. Grigsby, Mr. Jensen, Dr. Meyer; no, none; absent, Mr. Green, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Wieland.
