On motion of Mr. Swain, the minutes were approved as printed on pages 1499 to 1973, inclusive. REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE The Secretary presented the following report: C o n t r a c t s for E q u i p m e n t for H e a t i n g P l a n t at C o n g r e s s Circle T h e Board of Trustees at its meetings on May 24 and June 20, 1962, awarded contracts for equipment for the heating plant to be constructed on the Congress Circle campus, but reserved the right of the University in each case to terminate the contract prior to September 15, 1962, and without cost to the University, by giving the contractor written notice of such termination. The Executive Committee was authorized to act for the Board on negotiations with contractors in exercising the University's right to terminate contracts or to extend the period during which they may be executed or terminated. The Executive Committee on August 16, 1962, extended the period in which the contracts may be executed or terminated to December 15, 1962.
