Whereas, the By-laws of the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois provide that the Board "shall hold an annual meeting on the second Tuesday of March, unless the date of such meeting be changed by the Board," and Whereas, the Board is in session in a regularly-called special meeting on this day, Saturday, March 9, 1946, a quorum being present, and Whereas, it seems desirable to proceed at this time with the business of the annual meeting, including the election of officers, and thus avoid the necessity of calling the Board together for another meeting so soon as Tuesday next, and Whereas, all the members of the Board of Trustees have been notified in advance that a resolution to change the date of the 1946 annual meeting would be presented at this special meeting, therefore Be it resolved, that the date of the 1946 annual meeting of the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois be changed from the second Tuesday in March to the second Saturday in March, and that, immediately on the adjournment of this special meeting, the Board shall convene in regular session for its annual meeting for the year 1946.
