COMMITMENTS AGAINST ANTICIPATED APPROPRIATIONS (24) At its meeting on June 15 the Board of Trustees authorized the inclusion in appointments to staff, orders, and other contracts involving funds appropriated in the 1946-1947 budget the following statement: "You are advised that the University anticipates additional appropriations from the General Assembly in order to meet this appointment (order) and its payment may be contingent on such additional appropriation." I recommend that this authorization be rescinded and that no such qualifying provisions be incorporated in University contracts.

On motion of Mr. Davis, the authorization to use the above reference to the anticipated appropriation was rescinded, and the use of the following was approved, to indicate that the members and officers of the Board were not individually liable for payment.

"The officers and members of the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois are in no event to be personally liable for payments under this contract." APPOINTMENTS OF ASSOCIATE DEANS IN DIVISION OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES IN CHICAGO (25) Pursuant to authorization given the President of the University by the Board of Trustees (Minutes, May 29, 1946, page 1121) to employ the necessary personnel for the operation of a branch of the University in Chicago, the following major appointments have been made in the Division of Undergraduate Studies in Chicago: R.
