Chamberlin, Director of the Division of Campus Development in the Physical Plant Department, presented a report, illustrated with maps, pictures, and slides, of a landscape redevelopment plan for the Urbana-Champaign campus to replace the trees lost due to diseases during the past ten years. To activate this program, they proposed a long-range master plan for tree planting, including recommendations on selections of species. The total cost of executing the master plan, excluding landscape work in the immediate area of, and related to, new buildings is estimated at approximately $400,000. The program proposed for the biennium of 1961-63 is estimated to cost approximately $80,000 and the funds for this are available in current state capital appropriations. This is the rate of expenditure estimated to complete the program in the ten-year period. Following the presentation, it was recommended that (1) the master plan for tree planting and the proposed selection and distribution of species as presented be approved, subject to change or approval by the President of the University; and (2) that the tree-planting program proposed for 1961-63 be authorized, subject to the approval of contracts by the Board of Trustees. President Henry stated that he concurs in these recommendations. O n m o t i o n of M r . J o h n s t o n , t h e s e r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s w e r e a p p r o v e d .
