UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

103

I believe that the original budget adopted by the Board of Trustees was a prudent and conservative estimate of what is required for the University to be of maximum service to the people of Illinois through facilities to be authorized for the 1967-69 biennium. While I regret that the Board of Higher Education has not concurred in this objective, the fact that 70 per cent of the request has been approved is significant, and the availability of the facilities which have been recommended will mean much to the effectiveness of the University, to the enlargement of its service and to the extension of educational opportunity. I believe that it would be unwise to endanger the unified support for the facilities included in the Board of Higher Education recommendations by any division which would occur if the University at this time unilaterally sought to have these recommendations enlarged by the General Assembly and the Governor. Accordingly, I recommend that the Board of Trustees modify its earlier action on the capital budget and accept the recommendations of the Board of Higher Education as enacted on September 13, subject to such adjustments within the total amount as may be recommended as a result of further study.
