MEMORANDUM ON C H I C A G O BRANCH ( i r ) On J u n e 9, 1946, at the request of President A. C. Willard, Dr. Coleman R. Griffith, Provost of the University of Illinois, applied to Mayor Edward J. Kelly orally for considerable space on the City's Municipal Pier in which to establish and operate a branch or section of the University of Illinois. The U. S. Navy has had a lease for several years on the City's Municipal Pier and it has been renewed for one year beginning July 1, 1046. It was represented to the Mayor by Captain C. C. Caveny, Executive Officer of the Pier project, that the Navy will complete its educational program on the Pier about July 1 next. It was estimated that it would take three months to decommission the Pier, or until about October 1. T h e Navy plans to move its school equipment from various parts of the Pier to particular exits in order to make transfer, probably to Great Lakes, when space for it becomes available.
