JOURNALISM MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP F U N D (17) On February 24, 1944 (Minutes, page 871), the Board accepted from the alumni of the University School of Journalism a memorial scholarship fund in which t h e sum of $590 has now accumulated. I submit a communication from the School of Journalism Alumni Association, transmitted through the Faculty Committee on Alumni Relations, requesting that this fund be made an endowment fund and indicating the intention to accumulate the fund to a n amount which will yield an income sufficient to pay the annual $50 scholarship. Investment of the fund is left to the discretion of the Board. I recommend acceptance of the proposed plan for operation of t h e fund as submitted by t h e Association.

GENTLEMEN:

T h e Journalism Alumni Association of the University of Illinois, aided by faculty and friends of t h e School of Journalism, recently founded the Journalism Memorial Scholarship Fund to honor the alumni and ex-students of the School who have given their lives in the service of our country in the present world war. W e have paid certain sums to the University of Illinois, as an outright gift, for t h e purpose of paying the scholarship, which is fixed for t h e present at $50 annually, and t h e first scholarship was paid in September, 1944. W e intend to pay to the University other sums from time to time until a total sum is accumulated, which invested at interest will yield the annual sum of $50. W e would like these sums invested by the Board of Trustees as it invests other funds at its disposal. Therefore, we respectfully petition the Board of Trustees as follows: T h a t a part or all of such funds as a r e given to the University of Illinois to found and support t h e Journalism Memorial Scholarship Fund be invested by the Board of Trustees with other funds, in accordance with its discretion, and the income be credited to t h e principal of the fund, and thus permit it to accumulate, except as to any amount that may be required to meet the annual scholarship, in case t h e contributions from the Journalism Alumni Association during any year a r e not equal to the amount of t h e scholarship. Yours respectfully, JOURNALISM ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
