On motion of Mrs. Watkins, the Board adjourned. A. J. JANATA HOWARD W. CLEMENT Secretary President MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Following adjournment of the Board, on call of the Chairman, the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois met at the request of the President of the University to consider a special item of business which had been submitted to him too late for presentation to the full Board.
