On motion of Mr. Johnston, the Board voted to hold its June meeting on Thursday afternoon, June 16, 1955, in Chicago, Illinois. ADDRESSES BY DIRECTOR DOUGLAS R. MILLS AND DEAN FRED H. TURNER At this point President Morey presented Messrs. Douglas R. Mills and Dean Fred H. Turner to address the Board on their respective divisions and areas of work. EXECUTIVE SESSION On request of the President of the University, an executive session was ordered to consider the following item of business. CHICAGO UNDERGRADUATE DIVISION President Morey reported that two bills have been introduced in the General Assembly of Illinois making appropriations for the acquisition of a site for the University's Chicago Undergraduate Division. He stated that University officials will undoubtedly be asked to testify at hearings on these bills and that policy decisions of the Board are necessary for the guidance of the officials who appear at the hearings. All of the Trustees except the Governor and President Megran have inspected the several sites which have been recommended for consideration by the Board. The relative merits of these sites were discussed. At the conclusion of this discussion, Mr. Livingston suggested that the special Committee appointed two years ago to study proposals for the development of the Chicago Undergraduate Division meet as soon as feasible to consider the policy questions on which decisions must be made in the near future. Mr. Johnston, Chairman of the Committee, announced that he would call such a meeting for Saturday, May 7, 1955, to be held in Chicago. On motion of Mrs. Watkins, the Board adjourned. A. J. JANATA H. B. MEGRAN Secretary President
