I94i] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY 681 President Cleary stated that he had requested the President of the University to introduce Dean H. M. Marjerison of the College of Dentistry. Dean Marjerison, being introduced, spoke on the advances in dental education and research. AGREEMENT FOR COOPERATIVE INVESTIGATION At this point, the Committee on Patents reported that it had considered the proposed agreement with the Clay Products Industry Committee 1 and recommended its approval. On motion of Mr. Davis, this recommendation was adopted. FIRE EQUIPMENT Mr. Adams, for the Committee on Buildings and Grounds, reported progress in the consideration of the matter of fire protection. EXECUTIVE SESSION At this point, on request of Mr. Fornof, the Board went into executive session to consider matters pertaining to the Alumni Association, with Mr. Deneen Watson present. EXPANSION O F WORK OF ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Mr. Watson presented a request for additional appropriations for the work of the Alumni Association, replied to questions of members, and then left the room. Mr. Fornof, for the Committee on Alumni, presented the following report, and moved its adoption. Your Alumni Committee to whom was referred the proposal of the Alumni Association calling for readjustments and additional financial support from the University concurs in the recommendations. There can be no question as to the worthwhileness of a virile and aggressive Alumni program, and action at this time should be dependent only upon the question of readjustment of the budget and the possibility of reallocation of funds. The President and Comptroller have reported that Jg.ooo is needed for this year, and $15,000 in 1942, and it is our belief that such allotment should be authorized. The report of the President is incorporated as part of this report. The policy of the Trustees in minimizing its financial support of the Alumni Association in the past few years has been justified on the basis of activity. With evidence today of renewed vigor and activity on the part of the Association, there is good reason why this policy should be reversed, and the greatest possible encouragement given. It is within the bound of good business to believe an active Alumni Association can stand alone on its own financial resources within a few years. Certainly such a goal cannot be reached unless and until sufficient financial assistance is proffered to make the start toward reorganization. Appointments to the Alumni Association staff under the new program shall be subject to the approval of the President of the University and the Board of Trustees. J O H N R. FORNOF C H E S T E R R. D A V I S Mr. Adams moved, as a substitute motion, that Mr. Fornof's motion lie on the table. On roll call, the substitute motion was lost, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Adams, Mr. Livingston; no, Mr. Cleary, Mr. Davis, Mr. Fornof, Mrs. Grigsby, Mr. Jensen; absent, Mr. Green, Mr. Karraker, Dr. Meyer, Mr. Wieland. Mr. Fornof's motion was adopted, and the appropriation made, "See page 674.
