Williamson, members of the Board, who took part in the discussions and concurred in the actions taken; also the University officers enumerated above as in attendance at the meeting of the Board. MATTERS PRESENTED BY PRESIDENT WILLARD The Executive Committee considered the following matters presented by the President of the University. PURCHASE O F PROPERTY AT 8 1 O S O U T H SIXTH STREET, CHAMPAIGN ( i ) A recommendation that the business property at 810 South Sixth Street, Champaign, be purchased for use by the University Press and the Registrar's Office. T h e University P r i n t Shop is in the basement of the Administration Building. T h e general printing of the University is of such proportions that there is no longer adequate floor space in the present quarters to handle all the work properly. A survey and report on the housing of the University Press (made by a Committee of the Board of Trustees, November 18, 1041) recognized the need for the expansion of this Division, but no provision for it has been made in the present building program. T h e acquisition of the property at 810 South Sixth Street will not permanently solve the P r i n t Shop space, but it will give temporary relief. T h e property is contiguous to other University property and may eventually be a part of a site for a new Press building. T h e acquisition of the property will require the following appropriations: 1. Capital (nonrecurring) : Purchase $14 750 Remodeling 2 500 $17 250 2. Addition to Physical Plant operating budget for annual operation and maintenance expense 1 4B0 Total $18 730 On motion of Dr. Meyer, this purchase was authorized 1 and the appropriations were made as recommended, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Davis, Dr. Meyer.
