The Special Committee on Housing appointed t o consider and report on student and staff housing at the Chicago Professional Colleges and at Urbana-Champaign reports as follows: 1. We recognize the need of new permanent housing for 3500 men, 1500 women, and 450 graduate students and staff at Urbana, and for 320 men, 300 nurses, and 100 staff at Chicago; the total cost is estimated to be #26,000,000. 2. We recommend for the 1947-1949 biennium provision for 2,000 students and 400 graduate students and staff at Urbana, and for 320 men and 300 nurses at Chicago; the total cost is #14,100,000, of which #10,060,000 would be derived from State appropriation and $4,040,000 from borrowing; the necessary utility services are to be provided separately. 3.
