REQUEST OF ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION FOR ALLOCATION O F LAND AREAS FOR INTERCOLLEGIATE A N D INTRAMURAL SPORTS

(11) At a joint meeting of the Board of Trustees of the University and the Board of Directors of the Athletic Association in Chicago on December 5, 1940 (Minutes, page 139), the latter presented a general plan for the expansion and development of the facilities for physical education and intercollegiate and intramural sports.

The building site directly east of Huff Gymnasium, to be reserved for future sports building. 9. An area of about 12 acres directly south of the forestry and now used by the Horticulture Department.
