tinuing demand exists. Upon publication of the first of the four courses, D. C. Heath would purchase all copies of the experimental edition on hand from the University at cost and thereafter the University Press would cease its distribution. 3. D. C. Heath and Company would pay a royalty of IS per cent on gross sales of the new textbooks, to be distributed as follows: 5 per cent each to the University of Illinois, to Professor Beberman, and to Professor Vaughan. The University would share in the royalties from the sale of the revised textbooks during the life of the first edition or for a period of five years from the first publication, whichever may be the longer period; thereafter the author's royalty would be reduced to 10 per cent and divided equally between Professors Beberman and Vaughan. The University and Professors Beberman and Vaughan would also share equally in royalties from any plate rental and licensing agreements. 4. Professors Beberman and Vaughan would continue their curricular studies at the University under a new program which would involve a comprehensive series of textbooks beginning with the seventh grade and extending through the twelfth grade. Their work on this new program for the University would not be affected by the contract with D. C. Heath and Company, except that the material incorporated into the proposed new experimental textbooks would not violate the copyright on the revised version of the present program. If new experimental textbooks or other teaching materials were produced under the new program, D. C. Heath and Company would not have publication rights in them. The Executive Vice-President and Provost and the Vice-President and Comptroller have reviewed the proposed contract with D. C. Heath and Company and recommend that the Trustees authorize formal negotiations along the general outlines just stated. The proposed contract has also been reviewed by the Legal Counsel. I concur, with the understanding that the legal aspects of the final version of the contract would be subject to the approval of the Legal Counsel. O n m o t i o n of M r .

MATERIALS RESEARCH LABORATORY (16) A Materials Research Laboratory at the University of Illinois to be financed by agencies of the federal government has been under consideration. Negotiations now in progress, if fully approved, would make available to the University funds to finance the construction of such a building and its research programs.
