PRESIDENT'S REPORT

During this presentation, Mr. Ajit Prasad Jain, Member of Parliament of India and Chairman of the Board of Management of the Uttar Pradesh Agricultural University in India, who is an official guest of the University of Illinois this week, was introduced and invited to stay for the Board meeting. He was accompanied by Dr. Royden Dangerfield, Dean of Administration and Director of International Programs at the University.

BIENNIAL O P E R A T I N G BUDGET F O R 1 9 6 3 - 6 5 (1) The estimates of state appropriations required for operations for the University during the biennium of 1963-65 are submitted herewith. These budget estimates have been prepared by the Executive Vice-President and Provost in consultation with the University's budget Committee 1 of which he is Chairman, and with the deans, directors, and other administrative officers. The estimates prepared by the colleges and institutes and other departments of the University have been carefully studied, revised, and in most cases substantially reduced. The University Council has also been consulted. I recommend that these budget estimates be approved for filing with the State Department of Finance and for presentation to the state administration and all other state agencies involved in budget procedures. President Henry then discussed the recommendations in the several categories of the budget estimates. Supporting statements were made by Executive VicePresident and Provost Lanier and Vice-President and Comptroller Farber. Mr. Williamson reported that the Finance Committee and several of the other Trustees in a special work session had previously studied the budget recommendations in consultation with the President and other University officials and that the Committee was prepared to support the recommendations as submitted. Following the presentations by the President and other University officials, and further discussion, on motion of Mr. Williamson the following budget was approved, and the President of the University was authorized to file it with the State Department of Finance and for presentation to the state administration and all other state agencies involved in budget procedures; and the President of the Board, the Chairman of the Finance Committee, and the President of the University were authorized to represent the Board in conferences with state officials concerning the budget.

This action was taken by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Clement, Mr. Dilliard, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Swain, Mrs. Watkins, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Kerner, Mr. Wilkins.
