T h i s report was received for record. QUARTERLY REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER (19) The Comptroller presents his quarterly report to the Board of Trustees as of December 31, 1955. This report was received for record and a copy has been filed with the Secretary of the Board.

LEASE OF HOUSING FOR UNDERGRADUATE WOMEN

(20) The Board of Trustees has authorized the leasing, through a sublease from the University of Illinois Foundation, the principal lessee, of seven apartment buildings from Northwood, Inc., Champaign. The plan as approved by the Board provides for the construction by Northwood, Inc., of two of these buildings between First and Second Streets and five between Third and Arbor Streets, all on Gregory Drive in Champaign. Northwood, Inc. requests a revision of the plan so that six buildings will be located between Arbor and Third Streets on Gregory Drive and one building on the northeast corner of Gregory Drive and Second Street. The University's Housing Division approves this change as the buildings will be located closer to food service facilities. The Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller recommend the acceptance of the revision. Except for the change in site, the plan as approved by the Board on January 28, 1956, is the same. I concur. O n motion of M r . Swain, this revision was approved. EXECUTIVE SESSION President H e n r y stated that he had recommendations to present relating to land acquisitions and the conferring of honorary degrees. O n motion of M r . Livingston, an executive session was ordered for the consideration of these matters of business.

I concur in these recommendations. O n motion of Mr. Swain, these recommendations were approved and the conferring of the degrees was authorized.
