1945] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 343 and David Kinley. The Board of Trustees on January 23, 1943, adopted a report from its Committee on General Policy which includes a recommendation that "recognition of former Presidents shall be in the form of naming campus areas." The University of Illinois Statutes include a provision on "Naming of Streets and Drives" that "campus drives and thoroughfares shall be named after expresidents of the University." The following suggestions have previously been offered but I am not sure to what extent they have been considered: 1. That the University Library be named for President James and that the Commerce Building be named for President Kinley. 2. That the area bounded by the Illini Union Building on the north and the Auditorium on the south be named "The James Quadrangle" and that the area south of the Auditorium be named "The Kinley Quadrangle." While this Would be appropriate, it would be difficult to secure sufficient general usage of these names to make the memorials of significance. It should be noted that the first suggestion is not in accordance with the policy established by the Board of Trustees, so that previous actions of the Board would have to be reconsidered if that suggestion is followed. This matter was referred to the Committee on General Policy for study and recommendation. APPROPRIATION FOR PUBLIC FUNCTIONS (30) A request that an appropriation of $3,500 be made from the General Reserve Fund for public functions to supplement the provision for this purpose in the budget for 1944-1945, for the current year only. On motion of M r . Fornof, this appropriation was made as recommended, by the following vote: Aye, M r . Fornof, M r s . Grigsby, M r . K a r r a k e r , M r . Livingston, M r . McKelvey, Dr. Meyer, M r . Nickell; no, none; absent, M r . Davis, M r . Green, Mr. Jensen, D r . Luken. COMMUNICATIONS FROM DIRECTORS S. C. STALEY A N D DOUGLAS R.
