JUNE AND JULY MEETINGS

President Clement reminded the Board that it had previously voted to hold its June meeting on Wednesday, June 19, in Peoria, and asked if any of the Trustees desired to offer suggestions concerning arrangements for the meeting. It was the consensus of the Trustees that the President and Secretary of the Board of Trustees should decide upon the place and the schedule of the meeting. Consideration was also given to holding the July meeting on Tuesday, July 2, if the internal operating budget for 1963-64 can be prepared for presentation to the Board at that time. EXECUTIVE SESSION President Clement announced that an executive session had been requested and was being ordered for consideration of recommendations relating to property acquisitions and that this session would be held following a recess for luncheon. At 12:45 p.m., on motion of M r . Swain, the Board recessed. Student representatives of the colleges and departments at the Medical Center, members of the Vice-President's Advisory Council, and members of the Medical Center Committee on Educational Policy were guests of the Board at luncheon and were introduced. Following luncheon the Board reconvened, in executive session. The same members of the Board, officers of the University, and officers of the Board were present as recorded at the beginning of these minutes except for Mr. Ray Page, who asked to be excused. The Board considered the following reports and recommendations.
