1946] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS I035 Now, therefore, be it resolved: 1. That it appears a fitting and proper recognition of his active and friendly interest in the College that the name of the building it occupies be changed from Commerce Building to Kinley H a l l ; and 2. T h a t a request for such change of name be forwarded to the President of the University for transmittal to its Board of Trustees. Communications were also received from the University of Illinois Library Alumni Association, the Librarians' Association, and a committee representing the Library and Library School staff, concerning the naming of the Library. The Board referred the resolution and these communications to the Committee on General Policy with the request that further consideration be given to the naming of the two buildings. Your Committee has considered this matter on several occasions and has consulted a number of interested parties, including the family of the late Dr. David Kinley. A member of the family has stated, that they are happy to acquiesce in whatever decision the University finally makes, that they are proud the University is planning to name one of its buildings for Doctor Kinley, and that they are particularly pleased by the desire of the faculty of the College of Commerce and Business Administration to have the Commerce Building named "Kinley Hall." As a result of its deliberations your Committee submits the following recommendations: 1. T h e Commerce Building shall be named "Kinley Hall." T h e Physical Plant Department is hereby directed to have this name cut in stone and placed over the main entrance. T h e Department is further directed to have a suitably inscribed memorial plaque placed in an appropriate location inside of the building. 2. That the University Library shall not be named for any individual. In the judgment of your Committee since a number of University personalities have contributed to the development of the Library over a period of many years, it does not seem appropriate to name the building for any one of them. D R . M A R T I N G. L U K E N FRANK H. MCKELVEY K E N N E Y E. WILLIAMSON CHESTER R. DAVIS, Chairman On motion of Mr. Davis, these recommendations were adopted.

A. Atwood of Champaign, the lowest bidder, in First National Insurance Company of Seattle, reinsured in General Insurance Company of Seattle.
